Got one of these from the dentist because i grind my teeth alot while sleeping.
It goes on the lower row of teeth, and i can feel my jaw is a bit further back than in a normal resting position.
Is this going to cause my jaw to recede permanently if i wear it for months or years?
I'm 23 so it's not like the jaw is still growing or something i think, but if the jaw is put into another position a lot, do the muscles or mandible joints or something change?
I'd rather pay for fillings, inlays, crowns or whatever when i inevitably grind my teeth down that get a weak chin from this
I dont have anything to add but that i got an orthotic this week for a tmj issue (displaced disk without reduction). Mine makes me feel like it's pushing my jaw slightly forward.
The alternative is grinding your teeth down, which will definitely make your lower jaw rest more closely to your skull.
I grind my teeth during the day and night, and my teeth are definitely worn down a lot already at 30.
I don't worry about it affecting my appearance, but as I understand it also wear down the enamel, making cavities more likely. I don't wear mine because I find them uncomfortable, but I wish I had put it on more often.
also go vegan and frick Israel for their genocidal actions in Palestine. May all zionists face trial when this is over.
>which will definitely make your lower jaw rest more closely to your skull
Would you say this makes your face look worse or better?
>during the day
Lay off the meth.
All you had to do was breathe through your nose while sleeping
Another medical establishment success
I wear one of these too and it's great, otherwise I wake up with bad jaw pain. dentists are real fricks about it though, I paid so much for my "professional" one but my puppy chewed it up. got some mouth guards off amazon for $3 that do the exact same thing
Well that's great to hear.
Hope i don't fricking choke on it though if it falls into the back of my mouth.
you won't. unironically worth trying a cheap Amazon mouth guard too tbh, could maybe figure out if it's actually poorly fit or if you're just not used to it. (or a mouth guard from wherever, not a shill and don't give a frick)
Post dog.
here he is playing a lil tug of war with my straps while I'm resting in between deadlift sets
Tell him he's a good boy
>i can feel my jaw is a bit further back than in a normal resting position.
Can cause snoring / sleep apnea.
Go and get it readjusted.
checked.
See, the reason why i'm asking is that my dentist said this was normal with mouthguards for bruxism to set the jaw back a bit.
He also ordered a second impression to be done because the first one was no good.
Did some fitting and adjusting on the 2nd one by filing it and so on, and in the end said it was perfect.
I was just wondering that maybe dentists omit the part where it fricks up your jaw and just tolerate it.
Maybe stop being a neurotic psychopath and just dont grind your teeth?
Why is literally everyone on the planet so dumb and pathethic
DDS here, you're wearing that at night time only. That being said, it will not cause your teeth to recede back because of the length it is in. For instance, some people after orthodontic treatment (myself included) have aligners that we wear at night. If I stopped wearing them my teeth would naturally move around; same concept here.
Additionally, you would rather NOT pay for things that are caused by severe bruxism. Bruxism is an event that is very short term (couple of seconds) multiple times per night that induces extreme forces on your dentition. It will ultimately lead to sensitivity and not limited to canals, crowns, etc with you eventually obtaining a nightguard because you'll be sick of going to the dentist. Utilize the custom nightguard it will make your life easier down the road.
Hi
First its really important to protectvyour teeth tull you find soultion to grinding.
Long timecgrinding will frick up teeth, change muscles and can cause morectension and pain like migraine etc.
Second, bruxism is related to stress, sometimes people are under such hesvy stress fir months thst they get ustedcto this and can not notice that their lifestyle is not healthy
Grinding may be caused by fricked dopamine levels ie drugs, ssri orcgooning for few hours a day everyday.
Most important
Go to real orthodont with it and tell him about your issue
He will offercyou michigan splint for uper teeth
It cost much more than the on you have
These days the are using lidar to create 3d model of your mouth and teeth and then use 3d printer to create casting mold
After its ready orthodontist will ask you to wear it and he will adjust the bite.
It will fit perfectly that even if you clench during sleep it will not cause any harm or discomfort
Your dentist was like "here, chew on this plastic all night" and you were like "okay."
That happened.
time to start pinning test
>Average number of microplastic particles
how do you define a microplastic particle?
I have the same thing on my upper teeth,
turns out my jaw socket is fricked up so I have grind away 1/3 of my teeth
your jaw placement is very important
I can't sleep most night do to the ringing in my ears
I am 20 wear your guard
dont frick with TMJ shit
>Is this going to cause my jaw to recede permanently if i wear it for months or years?
Why the frick are you asking IST instead of your dentist?
>putting plastic in your mouth that that leaches xenoestrogens and then you grind into microplastics that you swallow in your saliva
NGMI
you aren't safe
You are moronic and gay fyi
Looks like a ribbed double dildo.
I used to grind my teeth horribly and had a mouth guard. I actually have stopped grinding now. My jaw clicks very rarely now also. It's stress that does this.

>jaw exercises

I've been using a plastic upper+lower that looks just like that since I got my braces off 10+ years ago. My jaw is fine.
