If you want to try again with a shop bought one you will probably need to heat it up with hotter water than they recommend ie recently boiled and push it up high over the roots of the canine teeth. Also jnr needs to suck his cheeks in hard then drop in cold water

Thanks, have tried variations on this with no luck. What am I searching for the dental approach?

If money is no object just go to the dentist. I always got mine from there and they are both effective, and barely noticeable because they fit so well. I could chat in mine no worries it was stuck to my teeth.
In my experience you could never get a shop bought to fit perfectly, no matter the brand

@Kirwan do you mean what landmarks in the mouth are you looking for?
Sorry, have my daughters birthday party happening around me, so not being very clear. Meant what to search for a dental technician that does that.

A clinical denture technician makes dentures mouthguards etc but is also able to take mouth impressions. This way you save costs because they can do the whole thing from start to finish. If you go to a dentist they will cost more because they will probably charge you for taking the impressions and fitting which is a piece of piss. Ask them if they can take impressions and make mouthguards.any more than 85 bucks in Auckland and I'd say you can do better. You in Akld?
