Is the SleepRight safe?
Yes! The SleepRight has been in safe operation for many years. It was the first ready-to-wear prescription device to be approved by the FDA. The SleepRight is prescribed by tens of thousands of dental professionals and is available without prescription in thousands of pharmacy and other retail outlets in the US. The product is now available for sale in the UK.
We understand that you want the best for your patients, which why we have gone the extra mile and subjected the device to examination and scrutiny by an independent professional dental body in the UK. The SleepRight is the only ready-to-wear dental guard that complies with EU medical device directive 93-42EEC and is approved by the British Dental Health Foundation.
Many over-the-counter products come in kit form that requires the customer to heat plastic and then insert warm/hot plastic to create an impression. Although not proven conclusively, some experts are concerned about the potential risks from a harmful chemical called Bisphenol A (BPA) leaching into the body. The SleepRight is made from high quality medical grade materials. It does not contain either BPA or latex and does not need to be melted or boiled to fit.
If you have any questions or concerns, you can be sure that they have been expressed by other dental professionals and adequately dealt with. Please give us the opportunity to answer your questions and provide whatever assurances you need. Our aim is to work with you to give the safest and most effective products for bruxism sufferers and to increase awareness and recognition of this complex and misunderstood condition.
According to research, bruxism sufferers get the same level of teeth protection with a ready to wear device than they do with a custom made one. Some patients may find the custom guard more comfortable, but it is really a matter of personal choice. Many SleepRight users report that the product is comfortable, affordable, convenient and meets their needs.
Other benefits to you and your patients of the SleepRight ready to wear guard are:
Patient gets immediate protection. No waiting for the lab to make the device.
No impressions, no lab fees.
Less chair time.
No need to replace the guard when teeth have been moved.
How easy is it to fit the device?
Very easy! Just a simple, one time adjustment to make and the patient gets immediate and safe protection!
If your patient is a heavy bruxer and is undergoing extensive restorations, it does not make sense to fit a custom guard to protect teeth and expensive dental work until the work is complete. The SleepRight can provide affordable protection as a temporary measure where restorations take place over an extended period and there is a risk of damage to teeth and dental work from clenching and grinding. When the work is complete, the SleepRight may be used as a supplement to a custom guard or as a permanent solution.
Fitting and care instructions are provided with the product.
