Description

Clenching or grindings habits have become very common, resulting in the wearing of enamel (attrition), tooth flexure in the bottom third of the tooth (abfraction), and recession. These habits can occur during the day, while sleeping at night, or during sports activities and may not even be noticed by the patient. Mouthguards can protect during the night-time while sleeping, as well as during the day if clenching/grinding evident. Sport guards are very important to prevent trauma and TMJ injuries, especially in sports with heavy contact.
