Hi, just looking around this site and some of it sponsored links etc and saw this gadget called 'grindalert'.... so wondering if anyone has tried it?

It sounds quite a logical theory that it will wake you up when you start clenching or grinding prevent you from doing so.

Or just a clever ploy to relocate your $$$ to someone elses bank account?

There's a post dated Aug. 10 (last reply on the 13th) about it. I bought one a few months ago, and it's been acting up (one button stopped working for a while, and weird sounds despite new batteries). I called the company, who said they'd send out a postage-return (so I wouldn't have to pay to ship back) and they'd repair/replace, but haven't heard from them since. It's possible they shipped to an old address, but I haven't been able to get ahold of them in 2 weeks and their voice mailbox is full. If I were you, I'd wait to see what happens (maybe the company is going under?) before plunking down your credit card. But the mechanism itself is good, if only they'll fix all the tech. snafus.

I tried it...does sound logical, but it didn't stop me from grinding my teeth. Im not sure why? You have to wear it in the right right spot or it will not work. It was a pain fiddling with it before bed. THe actual unit worked for about 3 months and then, like the other person who posted, the battery died. I had bought a 2nd battery off the site when I purchased it, but when I replaced it it was still dead. I ended up throwing it out after all that. Another couple hundred dollors down the drain. It didn't help me at all, still have headaches, muscle pain, and I still grind my teeth.

The first one I received was defective. The replacement unit worked, but it has many flaws, such as the contacts coming away from the skin when you roll onto your side. For people with loud tinnitus, they probably won't even hear the warning beep anyway. Their customer service was a joke. Save your money.
