Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How long do custom teeth mouth guards last if worn every night?
Custom teeth grinding mouth guards can last on average between 2 to 3 years. However, the lifespan is heavily dependent on the degree of teeth grinding and clenching. With light to moderate grinding, a custom dental night guard can potentially last over 5+ years.
2. How do I determine if I need an upper and lower guard or just an upper one?
The choice between an upper or lower night guard, or both, largely depends on individual preference and specific needs. Initially, night guards were designed for upper teeth, but that doesn't imply they're superior. Some considerations:
- Gag Reflex: People with a strong gag reflex might prefer a lower night guard to avoid triggering the reflex.
- Size & Comfort: Lower guards tend to be less bulky and might be more comfortable for some.
- Tongue Interference: Upper guards don't come in contact with the tongue, which could be preferable for those with larger tongues or for those who engage in tongue thrusting.
- Dental Work: If you're planning dental work on one arch, it's better to choose a guard for the opposite arch to ensure a proper fit after your procedure.
