I eventually got mine 3 days ago, but I only started to use it today 07/21/25, wore it for an hour and already starting to feel a stretch

Janet's avatar

Just got mine today. Have it in now for the last 30 min. Not too bad. I’m hoping to open up my crowded teeth. Will try to remember to report back with any progress!!

How do you feel now after a couple months?

Emily's avatar

Hi- I began my reviv last week. I also have Invisalign- I know I know! My teeth are alive and I didn’t know about reviv until a few months ago. I have been wearing my reviv at night with my Invisalign. I actually really like the stretch. But I cannot close my mouth. Excited to watch the progress.

I just received mine today, I have had it in for 3 hours and I already feel my jaw relaxing. I’ve suffered with migraines, jaw, and neck pain for over 20yr. So glad to feel like I’m finally getting relief

Hey Janet, how did you go with reviv?

I have an implant for front tooth (# 9, left side) have you gotten or know anyone who has implants and the soft tissue still expands? Wondering how it works with implants?

EGK's avatar

yes i think it works fine with implants.. its just that the implant might look a little out of place later after teh rest of the teeth remodel

Will cutting the tounge tab off make the device not work as well or effective?? It causes so much irritation at the back of my teeth.

EGK, I wanted to ask about keeping the mouth open or closed during sleep. Mine opens on its own, I notice it as I’m falling asleep.

I don’t think it’s necessarily a problem, but wouldn’t it be better to keep it closed? Wouldn’t the stretch be greater? What do you think about using mouth tape?

EGK's avatar

yes i think using mouthtape with a mouthguard is a good idea. Mouthtape without using a mouthguard is next to useless in my view.

Many folks doing reviv us mouthtape

I’m confused about the tongue tab. I thought it’s meant to hold your tongue in place. What is its purpose?

EGK's avatar

the tongue pushes into it and it stretches the tongue a bit more. Its not needed in my view. A mouthguard will also work fine without it

I have a permanent retainer glued to the back of my top and bottom teeth. How does reviv 3 interact with them? Thinking about getting them removed.

EGK's avatar

Hi,

With permanent retainers on both top and bottom, in our view it's more effective to have them removed first before starting with the R3, rather than trying to work around them.

The retainers hold your teeth in a fixed position, which works against what Reviv is doing — letting the tissue stretch and teeth reposition naturally.

Sounds like removing them is the right direction if you're already considering it.

I just got mine yesterday. I got the reviv one large, but it feels very snug around my teeth. It felt fine wearing at first, but then my lower incisors (which jut out slightly past my canines) started hurting, so much so I had to take it out (even after taking it out they still hurt when I touch them). Im not seeing anyone talking about teeth hurting, is it normal? Thanks xx

EGK's avatar

Hi,

Yes, this is normal, especially in the first day or two — teeth that jut out slightly like your lower incisors do tend to take more of the pressure early on, since they're the first point of contact. That soreness afterward, even after taking it out, is common in the very early stage as the teeth are just starting to adjust.

A snug feel on the R1 large itself isn't unusual either — as long as your teeth are seating properly into the channels, that's the right fit.

Given how sore it got, we'd suggest easing off for now — give it a break for a day, then go back in short daytime stretches (10–20 minutes) rather than trying for a full night again straight away. Build up gradually from there.

Thats great to know thanks!

I just received mine and I have a question

Mine is moving not sitting in place , a little unsure as to how it is meant to feel and sit

I was expecting it to be snug along my teeth

Can I have some clarification please

EGK's avatar

Hi!

Happy to clarify. It's normal for it not to feel snug or locked onto your teeth at first — the Reviv isn't meant to grip your teeth tightly the way a custom-fitted guard does. It sits more loosely by design, and what holds it in place over time is the soft tissue stretching around it, not a tight grip on the teeth.

The thing worth checking is whether your teeth seat into the channels.

The guard has channels for your upper and lower teeth — if your teeth settle into those (even if it feels loose), the size is right. If that's happening, the movement you're feeling is just the early stage before the tissue has stretched enough to hold it steady.

That settles with continued wear. Building up time during the day in shorter intervals helps speed it along, and a fair few folks use a bit of mouth tape to help keep it in place at night while the tissue catches up.

If the teeth genuinely won't seat into the channels at all, let me know and we'll look at it — but in most cases this early looseness is just part of the adjustment.

How do I get a hold of this company? I am new and the medium is too big for me. I would like to get a small, but that was not an option when I ordered it.

How do I know if it is best to wear the Medium or Large?

EGK's avatar

It comes down to the measurement between the outer edges of your upper molars. Roughly 50–62mm is the medium, and 63mm and up is the large. If you land right around 62mm, size up to the large.

Here's how to measure: https://youtu.be/gmoeX-6gsFg

I have an issue that I’m wearing the revive 1 since over a month now and i have noticed that my upper pallet has gone way up which has made mewing during the day difficult, can someone tell me if something is wrong or is it temporary or will things improve over time?

Alyssa's avatar

I just got mine today. It fits perfectly in my very small mouth and is very comfortable. I was expecting to feel a stretch happening. Did I order too small? My mouth is extremely small and every dentist / hygienist says so.
