These things always happen on Thursday/Fridays when my dentist is closed. ?
Yesterday at my sons appointment, the dentist’s assistant gave me my new nightguard. She had me pop it in really quick. It was really tight on the front but fit better on the back teeth. I still had a terrible time getting it out again, as it would not come off my front teeth easily. She told me to try it over the weekend and let them know if there are issues.
I tried to wear it last night. It felt so tight on my front tooth and lateral incisors that it made me worry about my front tooth implant.
So this is probably a very stupid question, but here goes:
Could the nightguard being tight and feeling pressure against the implant crown cause any damage to it, long term? I ended up taking it out as I was worried it was going to cause it to shift slightly and loosen when I clench. I know I need to try it to see if makes my teeth hurt but I don’t want to hurt the implant.
