The Comfort Cover has a good fixation. The product arrived quickly. I recommend it to everyone who is suffering from the braces.

These seem to help with the chafing of the inside of my gums. A little thicker than I prefer, if they offered in a thinner version, that would be great. Can't get to fit on my lower teeth, as they (teeth) are offset too much. Hopefully after they move some, I can get them to work.
Protection for sports

I have 2 kids in braces. These are a great alternative to a chunky mouth guard. Whether my kids are playing basketball or wrestling these provide protection from being hit in the mouth.
Not what I expected...
By Mayra
from Bayamn, PR
on October 7, 2021
I am completely disappointed about this product.
My treatment will be short, as I don't have many crooked teeth. However I found it quite difficult to put it over the brackets, specially those who have the rubber band hook.
I am also experiencing problems with the bumper getting detached from the last tooth. I am hoping that as time goes by, the plastic gets more flexible. In the meantime, it is quite annoying to use as I have to put it back in place constantly.
This might be a great product, but I didn't work for me.
Pros
- It does the job of protecting oral tissues.

My son's trumpet teacher recommended these covers to prevent discomfort while he plays, and they work great!
Great for individual brackets that hurt
By Christine
from Houston, TX
on June 5, 2020
I am in the beginnings of wearing braces and they cut the inside of my lips. I got this in hopes it would protect my lips. It really works!! The downside is that my teeth are uneven so the brackets aren't straight. I had to cut pieces to fit the individual brackets to protect my mouth rather than wear it as one piece like pictured. When I tried to do that, it put pressure on the brackets and hurt my teeth.
Pros
- Really covers bracket to help protect mouth
Cons
- Pressure on brackets if worn as one piece over teeth are uneven
Works

These actually stay on the braces and are easily installed and removed. They come 2 per container and are easily cut with scissors. They could be a bit thinner and the shipping cost for what they weigh and how they are shipped is very excessive!
Life saver.

My braces we're cutting into my mouth while I slept. I started using the orthodontic wax initially until I found out about these. The are so much more comfortable and easier to use. Well worth the money. You will not be disappointed.
Pros
- Super comfortable.
Cons
- None.
Love them!

Did not solve my problem of playing French horn
By Mike
from Southern Oregon
on November 24, 2018
I purchased these as a possible solution for playing my French horn. While these are easy to attach to my braces and were comfortable to wear, they are too thick for playing French horn.
Pros
- comfortable, easy to attach and cut to size.
Cons
- Too thick for playing a French horn, unable to adjust embouchure (sp.) for playing.
Almost perfect
By Holly

Easy to use. My only complaint is that it didn't fit over the brackets that have the knob for rubber bands. We had to kind of skip those ones. Otherwise great product.
He likes it!
By Lisa
from Wisconsin
on September 28, 2018
I bought these for my son who is a wrestler and just got braces. He said they work great. The only thing he didn't like was that he has one tooth that has a bracket that sits a bit higher than the rest so it was hard to get it onto that tooth at first. I haven't heard any complaints since so it must have worked out okay for him though.
Pros
- Protects his mouth from getting cut up while wrestling
Cons
- Wish it was a little more flexible to get on brackets that are not quite in alignment with the other ones.
Great Product
By Lydia
from Temple, Texas
on February 14, 2018
Great low price and came fast in the mail. My teeth are very crooked and I just got my braces on. But I was able to cut one of the strips into 4 pieces and I wear them on the upper and lower teeth on the side of my mouth which works great for me at night. I sleep on my side a lot and my cheeks press against the pillow so the guards keep my braces from digging into my cheeks and waking up with my mouth all cut up.
Pros
- Was able to cut one of the strips in 4 pieces so I could wear them on the side of upper and bottom teeth at night to get relief.
Cons
- Wont fit all the way around on my teeth because my teeth are very crooked, but the website says your teeth need to be somewhat aliened.
Wonderful product
By Penny

This product is wonderful. Wearing the brace prevented my child from getting sores in her mouth from her new braces. She wear the protective cover during basketball to protect her braces it is light and not as thick as the sport mouthpiece that made it hard for her to talk.
Wanted it to work but too bulky
By Sue
from Mpls, MN
on January 6, 2018
It did provide a nice shield between by braces and lips but it was way too thick. I looked like a chipmunk. There is no way I could wear it in public. If you want something to wear at night it would be o.k. But not what I thought it would be, too bulky.
Great investment for grinders and clenchers
By Ruh
from Charleston SC
on December 21, 2017
I wore a mouthguard prior to braces. This is the only thing that still makes it comfortable for me to sleep. Great product easier to wear then a night guard and I certainly don't understand what I was doing before had them. I can't clench grind or mess up my bite using this product .
Pros
- Can't clinch are grind teeth doesn't impact gums are behind lip no need for wax at night
Merchant Response
We're glad that this product helps you, but it's not meant to help with clenching or grinding. It's only meant to help protect the inside of your mouth from your braces.
Definite must have
By Shu

Dental brace cover does what it says. The moment you put on the cover over the brackets, you are relieved of all discomfort. Further refinement is required however. It's a plastic cover that covers your brackets. Can it be of thinner more pliable plastic? When you put the cover on you feel the durability like a mouth piece. I wish the cover was thinner which may make it breakable but it will be bulky once in your mouth. And you can add more replacement strips in the package.
Great product!

Comfort Cover For Dental Braces
By Paul
from Washington, DC
on June 25, 2017
Both ridiculously simple and brilliant. Makes my braces much more tolerable. Why did no one think of this before? Even my orthodontist didn't know about them. So long as you are wearing metal, it will greatly improve your life and mood.
Pros
- Slips on easily and holds all night.
Cons
- Initially the ends may not hold but after they are in your mouth a while, they assume the curve or your teeth and stay tight.
Perfect Solution
By Robin

If the inside of your mouth is torn and sore from traditional braces, these comfort covers are what you need. They snap on easily and provide your mouth relief from pokes and tears. For the cost, they're well worth trying. They do need to be cleaned daily.
Pros
- No more pain in my cheeks and lips.
Cons
- They do need to be removed while eating and thoroughly cleaned daily. However, the comfort is well worth the cleaning!
Great but doesnt fit clear braces
By Jess

I love this for my bottom METAL braces.. however my top CLEAR braces are slightly large and the strip does not fit them. :(
Very helpful!
By Mike B.

My wife got her braces about a week ago, and the Comfort Covers have been a godsend for preventing irritation. She went without them the first two days and the inside of her mouth got really irritated. I suggested she try the Comfort Covers and boom! Complete change. The smoothness of the covers versus the brackets makes a world of difference and really helps prevent sores and irritation.
Her teeth aren't terribly crooked - her braces are for bite correction and gaps - so the covers go on easily and stay in place very securely. She does have one premolar that needs to rotate quite a bit, and so the cover doesn't really stick on that bracket, but all the others are fine.
In all, an excellent product, and we plan to buy more.
Great, but not flawless
By Tinaca T.

These do a great job covering the braces. They are easy to snap on and are very comfortable except for the tiny fact that saliva accumulates inside and they make it hard to talk properly, but hey, for an occassional comfort, it is well worth it!
Pros
- Comfortable and easy to snap on.
Cons
- Collects saliva and makes it hard to talk properly.
Works great!!

By Keri

My son was using those big bulky mouth guards for wrestling. They work horribly after you've had your nose bloodied and have to have the plugs in your nostrils. No way to breathe!!!
These were a fantastic solution. He can now concentrate on his pinning instead of worrying about suffocating.
Now the trick is to convince all of the referees & coaches in our league that these are sufficient, practical and just as protective as the bulky ones!
Works great

Works great to keep braces and wires from irritating lips and inside of mouth. I get cankor sores and this can be cut to fit a specific area to help with comfort and faster healing.
Pros
- Can be cut to fit
This really works!
By Cornwall3

My son said this worked great and every time his wires were irritating he wore the comfort covers. Will definitely purchase again if necessary.
Pros
- Easy to use, can remove and re-use.
Cons
- Only con is shipping is the price of the item.

Oh my cheeks!
By KW
from Iowa
on January 23, 2016
I bought this product after getting my top set of braces. I didn't use them for the top set because they didn't fit quite right and felt very bulky in my mouth. This past week I got my bottom set of braces put on and OH MY CHEEKS! I was willing to try just about ANYTHING to stop the pain of the back bracket digging into my cheeks and the sharp brackets cutting my tongue. The first night I tried the comfort cover it was too tight and hurt. After a few days though the pain subsided and the comfort cover is now my best friend! It does still feel kind of bulky but I don't care! It helps keep the brackets away from my cheeks and my tongue so the sores can heal. Wax just wasn't working because it wouldn't stay stuck on the back brackets and would just slip off, the comfort cover works like a charm. I highly recommend this product. It may not fit perfectly if your braces aren't very straight, but when it fits correctly it works like a charm.
Pros
- Absolutely reduces pain from sharp brackets!
Cons
- Feels a little bulky but worth it to stop the pain

By Jane H.

This product does none of the things it claims. I have acrylic top braces and metal bottom braces. I got these for the metal braces, as they are not recommended for acrylic. What I received is two tube-like lengths of plastic, intended to clip on over the braces; no instructions or product information whatsoever. The problem is, (unlike the photo of the mouth model shown with the product on the site) the plastic length of tube isn't pliable or bendable to fit around the curve of my mouth/teeth it snaps on fine in the middle, but as I try to continue snapping it around to the back it breaks open, making it impossible to snap on (even though my braces and teeth are pretty even). This was a frustrating waste of money; and because of how it is packaged it is non-returnable. I advise not to waste your money on this product. Very disappointing.
Merchant Response
These sort of lip protectors work best if your brackets are straight across your teeth (straight as opposed to zig-zag). Sometimes they do pop off if your brackets are not straight enough. However, during the course of treatment, as things begin to straighten out, they will work better. This product is very popular with kids who use them for light sports and wrestling practice. As with any product, everyone's needs are different, and results may vary.

I just got braces AGAIN. at 60, I guess I am getting braces every 50 years. :) Anyway, the irritation on my gums was a problem when I was 10 and is a problem now. The difference now is this solution. I was able to cut it to the exact length so that is remains clipped onto back braces without poking out. I did take 400 grit sandpaper and smooth the cut ends. That was easy and make it Perfect. I would be be going crazy if I did not have this to ease my discomfort.

It worked perfectly
By SassySam

on February 4, 2015
My only regret was that I did not order these before I got my braces put in. That would have saved me almost 2 weeks of excruitiating painful cheek cuts and large sores. I was so desperate for relief one week after getting braces that I paid more than 10 times the cost of the product for shipping to my country.
Secondly, they do not fit properly over Damon clear braces. Lucky for me only the front teeth have the clear and the other teeth have regular Damon braces. All in all, I believe that every dentist who installs braces should stock these.

This product is the only thing that works for protecting the inside of my mouth from getting sores. Wax just falls off and does NOTHING. My Dentist had no clue this product existed. How could that be? Wax is the only response they knew. Hopefully he will now tell patients about this perfect option!

I use constantly on top. It protects against chafing which enables my mouth to build up and go without it for several hours when needed. The color changes gradually from clear to amber-orange after eating red sauces and other foods. So I get a new one every so often. The braces need to be fairly straight for it to stay in position. It allows you to not use wax. Much better than wax.
