Please go to your dentist and get one made it depends how bad you are, only a mouth guard will only protect your teeth other problems can occur like TMJ which is horrible and painful I am a serious case so I do try to warn others of the dangers, if you check my questions you will see, I though am a severe case so don't be alarmed just take care your dentist should know if you have any other problems, so get it sorted out now so you won't have to go through what I am. Good luck

You can get mouth guards almost anywhere there are sporting equipment (Wal-Mart and Target for sure). They will cost you $1 to $2. You can stick them in boiling water and they will form to the shape of your mouth. You might be able to go into a Walgreens and find one that is specific for your problem
I would -- however -- see your dentist about this issue (or at the very least call up the office and see what they say about buying one). S/He might be able to prescribe something better.

I got a proper from my dentist which cost about 10 quid, although the normal ones from sports shops are virtually identical and mould to your teeth after been in hot water to soften.

7 years ago I've been involved in a car wreck and even since suffered with severe on and off facial and jaw pain. I've tried almost everything western medicine had to offer and had visited countless of specialist, had done ct scans, and therapies but to no avail. The doctors I have been to had persisted that there wasn't anything wrong with me and that almost drove me crazy as I was going through hell from this condition. According to all my symptoms I was diagnosed by a holistic doctor as having TMJ and he had recommended this book to me. After following the recommendation in the book for several weeks, it had changed my life. I got immediate relief after following the unique set of exercises in the book and after 2 weeks the jaw and face pain had completely gone. I only wish I would have ordered this program years ago. It would have saved me a lot of pain and anguish.

your best bet is to go to a dentist and have them fit your teeth for one exactly to your teeth. I wouldn't get one of the over the counter ones. The ones from the dentist are the best ones.

sports shops usually only sell sports mouth guards. you need to go to the dentist to have impressions taken to have a mouth guard for grinding as it needs to fit your teeth properly.

Many drug stores or any store that has a good selection of dental care, best bet if you can go to your dentist he can have one custom made and it will be much more comfortable, a little more pricey but well worth it

Hi,
Really the best thing to do is go and get a dentist to make one especially for you.
Then it will fit perfectly and do the job.
