Denture Bond or Super Glue

from JoeUser Forums
Ok, I have a quagmire. Not quite a quagmire of the Iraq war proportion, but hefty for my microcosmic world. I have one of those night guard thingies that keep me from grinding my teeth; I think someone else (Texas?) wrote about the expense of these "gadgets." Anyway, my 8 year old son saw mine on the bathroom counter and decided to pull both sides of it like a wishbone to see what happens. IT BROKE! (When asked why he did this, he responded, "Because I didn't think Mom needed it anymore." Where do they come up with these things?)

So....I do not want to spend another $550 for a replacement. Zombie thinks I should try Denture Bond since it broke clean in half in the middle. I lean towards Super Glue. My husband thinks I may poison myself with it, and I admit that the smell might be lethal. I just think the Denture Bond might be too "bendy."

Any inputs or suggestions? Denture Bond, Super Glue, or something else?

BTW, son is grounded for a week and must write all the numbers up to 550 so he truly understands how many dollars it would take to replace.

It's too bad the dentist couldn't rebond the thing..... my opinion is the denture bond would probably be the better short term solution....

Yikes! I say go denture bond and see if it works, and then if it doesn't you can bite the bullet and hand over the cashola.

superglue may do weird stuff to the appliance as well as you; denture bond has the advantage of being intended for use in mouths. 

(i once had to write 'i will not shoot arrows at others' 200 times following a failed attempt at hitting a moving target graciously tho foolishly held by a younger sister; she was 5, i was 7 and she held it in front of her face--fortunately the arrow was tipped with a suction cup, unfortunately wed removed it, most fortunately it left only psychic scars.)

yikes, I would go with denture bond too. Sounds safer. My 3 year old would have done the same too. Kids, do say and do the darndest thing!
