Hello. I posted this question on the wronf forum earlier!
I got my braces put on last year and they are ready to come off next month. Problem is that now I can't stop grinding my teeth. It's so bad that it wakes me up at night and makes me feel as though I just ran my fingers down a chalk board. My other issue is that I had a front bottom tooth extracted and now my bottom and upper teeth are not aligned. I have 2 upper teeth sitting on 1 lower teeth. My ortho says this is normal but I am afraid I will have problems later on in life. Has anyone been through this or have any suggestions other than wearing a night guard????? PLEASE HELP!!
Thanks for responding. I am not against night guards, I was just wondering if there were other solutions. I was also hoping to hear from others that this was normal and nothing that I have to worry about.
Thanks.
