Hi Guys, I am on implant number 2 currently. I got tooth number 10 extracted then socket grafted to be prepared in 3 months for implant. I could not mentally do another flipper so my dentist made me a Maryland bridge for the time being. Only issue is, I teach bjj and since I have a implant already, I must wear a mouthguard.
My dentist said even though my bridge is temporary, he placed it like it was my final restoration, so I should be fine. I am treating this as a non functioning tooth/bridge so im not biting down with it, everything cut up and placed in the side of my mouth.
Do you guys as a forum, feel like its a mistake to be using a mouthguard while I have this bridge? I must train bjj since I get paid for it, so its pretty important. This is the mouthguard I use (if fitted properly you need to snap it off with your fingers)
And this is how I was told by the makers of this guard to mold it, so it wont hook on to any of the wings
Any thoughts or suggestions?
