Hi Board, Just wanting to share this option with you. My experience with the guards is that maybe two people have asked for them in the last two years. It is not a regular thing. My thought is that we leave the benefit the way it is and suggest the online retailer or over the counter option. I personally bought mine online and it was under $30. If your option differs, please let me know this week so that we can make the adjustments for the next plan year/open enrollment.

These are used by individuals that grind or clinch their teeth at night. The cost is typically between $300 - $1,000 when custom made through a dentist; $100 - $200 through an online retailer; and, $18 - $30 over the counter. Per Delta Dental, they expect the increase to your claims to be: * Once / 24 months 2% * Once / 36 months 1% With dental plans I work with, this is a standard exclusion, just like yours is set up. However, I wanted to give this information to you, just in case you have any interest. Please let me know.
