Mouthguard fit: Go see your dentist. He/she might be able to reline it to make it fit tighter. Good luck.

Get a New One: Nightguards are generally not designed to be tightened. When they get lose and wear out over time, they have to be replaced. In some cases, however, they can be adjusted to fit snugly again. Don't try this yourself! bring it to your dentist. If it can be tightened, great. If not, it's time for a replacement.

Go back: Go back to your treating Dentist for an adjustment. Recon touring or adding clasps may help. If it's an OTC product throw it away and go to your Dentist for a custom fitted appliance.
