Thank you all for responding. I have tried custom fit athletic tray as well as WalMart athletic type mouth guards. Apparently these are too soft, as I must clench so hard that I wear through them and I wake with aching jaws and head.

My current dentist suggested I cut off the back end of the guard so as to only cover the front 6 teeth so that my back teeth do not touch and encourage clenching. This has not helped.

I need something that will keep my teeth apart.
