Hi! During my last dental check up I was told I would need a nightguard. I was very busy with exams and then was going on holiday so I didn t have time to make an appointment. Instead as a temporary fix I bought one of the OTC nightguards. Now my teeth seem to change their positions. Are they going to go back on their own? If not will fitting the custom-made nightguard have to wait? Thank you for your reply!
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor forum, nightgaurds are meant to guard you teeth from any kind of trauma,custom-made nightmare fits well and does not cause any movement of teeth, but in your case, it seems OTC nightmare has caused slight Chat Doctor. Therefore I would suggest you visit a dentist soon, so that you have your own nightmare which is comfortable to wear and without any side effects. Till then do not wear any nightmare until your dentist advises you .do not worry, your teeth will be fine and back to their original position on its own.I wish you good health.
