Break the Matrix

This was on Platos site as he had been sent this as analternative to  braces/retainer.

The filename is "nightguard", I'm not sure if it's a cheap one you can buy online that forms after your teeth or if it was created by a lab through a dentist. That would not be cheap.

Lets say it's the cheap one. It has to cover all teeth right? I have seen nightguards that just covers 2/3 of the mouth.

Metal wire, hard to say how thick it if from the pic, but the hooks must stay in place at least. The real question is how she got the metal wire in place. Is the metal wire against your teeth or is it in between the nightguards one layer?


Does anyone here use this technique?

Would gladly take advises since this method is perfect for me.

Try calling different dental appliances provider and see if you can get one shipped. You would need teeth models though, which could cost over 200$

Get a cheep one from eBay, for example this one:

You heat it up in hot water, then you make the impression of your teeth. Use a dremel or something similar to drill holes.

I bought a simple moldable mouthguard (about $3), molded it, punched a couple holes where the clips should have been and attached shoe laces instead of rubber bands.  I just pull on the shoe laces with my hands.

There's a picture somewhere on this forum that I think Walrus put up.
