Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / August 2005veneer pain when wearing a nightguard
I have veneers on the upper front six teeth. I also clentch at night during times of stress. After a few years of wearing my night guard, my veneers are causing me pain, within 10 minutes after putting in the night guard. The guard was made in house and very rigid, my dentist enlarged the tooth area by drilling out more space in the mouthguard, then added a soft flexible materal to see if a new more flexible nightguard would be better, but it still caused pain within minutes after wearing it, so I cannot wear my nightguard, but I still clentch at night. Any solutions? Thank you. >I have veneers on the upper front six teeth. I also clentch at night during >times of stress. Does the guard fit on upper front teeth? Or lower front teeth? Just curious Either way depending on the conditions  Signature~+--~+--~+--~+--~+-- Stephen [What's a Temporary?], D.D.S. Michigan, USA ....................................................

SignatureCarolyn Only the greatest advancement in 'bite guards' in the last 100 years <G>. Visit <HeadacheHope.com>. Slightly prejudiced, Fawks > What is an NTI please? Actually Steve its better if you send folks to www.headacheprevention.com which is the patient site for NTI, while headachehope.com actually forwards to www.nti-tss.com the dentist site.

Actually, I wish the site had stayed nti-tss for everything. For every single headache case, I probably have 10 other patients that need an NTI for different reasons. Marketing primarily to headache prevention does not cover the real value of the device (IMO).

Oh and how right you are, there are dozens of uses for the little NTI that doesn't have a thing to do with headache. The main benefit of sending patients to headacheprevention.com is the "Find-a-Dentist" database that allows folks to search by zipcode to find a provider. Tm > Thanks. > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >> >> Tim For internet communications, I would like an easy direct link to the "find a dentist" page. I like www.nti-tss.com for professionals, but would prefer something equally simple for the patient pages. www.headacheprevention.com is too long. www.nti-device.com or something similar would be nice.

Agree I didn't get mine cause I was having headaches Matter of fact I hardly ever have them Got mine for other reason. Mainly cause I was chewing the crap out of the very expensive crowns on my back teeth So I got the NTI as a "preventative" measure for future pain and costs Ain't it the truth, brother, ain't it the truth. Prolly has something to do with the FDA thingy. >Thanks. > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >> >> Tim -- W_B Take out the G'RBAGE wubbabubbazG@RBAGEyahoo.com >>I have veneers on the upper front six teeth.

I don't know cant answer But the reason I ask is I also have veneers on top 4 teeth and JUST got an NTI device to wear But my dentist had to make my NTI device to snap on my bottom teeth as my bite is such he wasn't comfortable with making a top fitting NTI. So far using the bottom one is OK. No problems. I just read your dilemma and was curious if yours was top fitting or bottom fitting. |
