SleepRight(R) Dental Guard Receives FDA Clearance

Splintek(R) will help protect your smile from teeth grinding KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Splintek is happy to announce the SleepRight dental guard has received Over-The-Counter (OTC) clearance from The Food and Drug Administration. According to the FDA, the SleepRight dental guard is indicated for protection against nighttime teeth grinding called bruxism. It is intended to reduce damage to the teeth and to prevent the noise associated with bruxism or grinding.

"Everyday people are under more stress factors, whether from work, bills, or relationships. Stress can manifest itself in the form of bruxism (teeth grinding)," said Thomas Brown, Chief Executive Officer for the company. "We find it very rewarding to pioneer the first No-Boil(R) FDA cleared dental guard that helps people protect their teeth from the harmful effects of teeth grinding."

For many years, teeth grinders have made multiple visits to the dental office, spending hundreds of dollars being fit for a dental guard. Many dental guards can feel bulky or require several tedious steps such as boiling water and biting into hot plastic, similar to boil and bite type athletic guards. The SleepRight dental guard is an affordable and effective solution that will save you trips to the dental office. There's no boiling water and hot plastic to bite into; its ready to use out of the box, a benefit embraced by many consumers who travel frequently.

The SleepRight is the only "No-Boil" dental guard available, which combines innovative self-adjust technology for an individual custom fit. "You can walk into a drug store, pick up a SleepRight and immediately protect your teeth from the harmful effects of grinding with the best technology on the market. Consumers are demanding convenience and quality; Splintek is providing that with the SleepRight," said Brown.

Splintek, located in Kansas City, has been designing health and comfort products since 1995. In addition to SleepRight dental guard line of products, the privately held company manufactures and markets SleepRight(R) Side Sleeping Pillows, and ErgoPic dental pics. Look for SleepRight products in fine retailers such as: Walgreens, CVS/pharmacy, Target, Longs Drugs, Meijer, and Kerr Drugs. Visit http://www.sleepright.com or call 1-888-792-0865 to learn more about the entire portfolio of Splintek products.
