Flexible is doing a lot of work in that product description. I tried a similar light therapy guard last year and it bent enough to get over my teeth, but it never stopped feeling like a lump of silicone sitting in my mouth. My mouth is small too, and the thing pressed against my gums in a way that got old after about twenty minutes. It did not hurt exactly, just annoying enough that I kept noticing it. If you are expecting something that molds to you like a proper night guard, this is not that. It is more like a soft tray you tolerate. Whether that counts as flexible enough depends on how much tolerance you have for stuff in your mouth.
I gave up trying to keep mine current while moving around. Last long trip I checked it maybe twice in three months, and both times it was several versions behind. Nothing bad happened, but I also wasn’t doing anything sensitive on it. The part that bugs me is the update process itself, not the timing. Half the time it wants a reboot and then the wifi drops and I’m sitting there reconnecting everything. So I just do it when I’m somewhere stable for a week or more and can afford to mess with it. Chasing patches from a cafe table sounds miserable.
A click at startup is normal for a lot of small heaters. There’s usually a thermal switch or relay inside that makes a noise when it engages, and it doesn’t mean anything is broken. Mine isn’t the same model, but it does the same thing and has for months. The part I’d actually pay attention to is whether the click changes over time, like getting louder or happening repeatedly during use. That would suggest the switch is wearing out, not just doing its job. One click when it starts is pretty standard behavior.
