My old guard covered the bottom teeth, and I was chewing through at least one every 9 -12 months. I have an NTI Splint (http://www.nti-tss.com/), which fits over my front uppers, but it has a little bar on it that keeps my teeth from meeting. The only reason I had to replace mine was I lost my first version, because after a few years it got loose, and I couldn't find it one morning :-)
Usually I end up with a crown on my cracked teeth, but the two that ended up being painful I ended up with root canals, at least before I cracked them more after the root canal and had to have them removed. My dentist calls me bionic bite.
