Bruxism and orthodontics

#1 Post by Eve43 »

I grind my teeth so hard at night that it wakes me up. Which is the better choice between the two...Invisalign or Damon?

Whatever will better suit your treatment goals.

P.S. Def let your ortho know that you're grinding that hard. He might be able to do a splint for you or discuss other options to disclude your teeth while in treatment.
Had full mouth metal braces for 21 months. Debonded April 2013. Now wearing clear plastic retainers every other night.

I have no formal dental or orthodontic education. Hence, all opinions expressed by me on this forum are those of an "informed consumer" and by no means intended as an expert advice.
