Night Guards





Most people can benefit from a night guard. There are some store bought kits that you heat up and mold to your teeth, but as of yet I have not found a patient that uses them regularly. You really need to have them custom made for your teeth they are more snug. Even custom made ones find their way across the room in the middle of the night for the first few days or weeks. Eventually you get used to them they become part of your sleep routine.





Good luck
Reply:Get a consultation with an orthodontist..General dentist%26#039;s can make you a night guard to prevent premature wear of your teeth, but an orthodontist will be able to give you more options and my be able to stop the grinding with an apliance or recomended surgery. There are sometimes underlying problems to grinding your bite may be off and your body may be trying to adjust itself, the most comon is stress
Reply:A Dentist can take a mold of your mouth, and make you a mouth guard, that fits you properly. If the mouth guard fits, you won%26#039;t grind your teeth through it. Believe me, this will solve your nocturnal teeth grinding dilemma. Many people suffer, from the same problem as you do. fixing the problem can make troubled sleep, and pain in the head, and jaw, a thing of the past.
Reply:I have that problem, and for me it is apparently caused by being overstressed, because when I cut back a couple major stresses in my life, the problem lessened and eventually went away. Maybe there is some hugely stressful or irritating thing you could cut back. Is there some noise that could be irritating you as you sleep, like a humidifier?
Reply:There are no home %26quot;remedies%26quot;, per se.





Anything that makes you sleep better may help, but the key word is %26quot;may%26quot;.





By the way, BECKA 25 wrong from start to finish. I know this because I%26#039;m a dentist.





An orthodontist is LESS likely to address grinding problems than a general dentist, and no oral surgeon on this planet would perform any kind of surgery to alleviate grinding.
Reply:I stick my tongue between my teeth while I%26#039;m falling asleep.
Reply:Grinding is a form of tension being released when alseep. Learn to meditate before going to bed. This will stop the grinding.
