How do mouthguards work when you’re asleep? If you grind your teeth in your sleep, wouldn’t you still grind them now just with plastic or something between them?
In: Engineering
Yes you will still grind them, but now you aren’t grinding teeth against teeth. I grind my teeth in my sleep (have for years) and because of it, a couple of my incisors have been ground down and flattened. With a mouth guard, that grinding wouldn’t have happened as the rubber acts as a soft, pressure absorbing barrier between my teeth.
