Julie: Know what you mean, been there. It looks like from your email you are in Texas, probably a large city and therefore a large price on a mouth guard, $2,000?! I live in Columbia, SC, and when I lived in Greenville, SC (upstate) and not that small of a city (depending on your definition of small) I got a mouth guard for around $450. You need to look around.
At the time I was taking Prozac. Antidepressants are notorious for causing bruxism. If you have insurance, they know the importance of a good mouth guard. They know if one is not used it could result in caps etc.$$$$$$$$$$$$. You probably have headaches as well. Again, check around and see what others offer. I've had mine for 4-5 years and recently dropped it on the floor and chipped off the rear end, but it seems to still work. Point is, if you take care of these things, and if they are made properly, they will last for a long time. Best wishes and blessings!
