Splint Dos and Don'ts - Help!
Dear all,
I saw an orthodontist today. I am getting an orthotic splint made, as I am a clencher/grinder. It is one that is worn all the time except for eating. It goes over the top teeth I guess. It is flat under the teeth, I guess.
I just want to find out from you all if there are certain types of splints that are very bad and to avoid. I don't know if this covers all of the top teeth or not.
I also have an overbite, which makes me wonder if I should go to a neuromuscular dentist, etc. I just don't know what to do.
Please help me out as to at least what I should find out about the splint. I don't want to go through all of this stuff and then hit a dead end. I want to do it right from the start. I've been trying to get this taken care of for 6 months now, and between the insurance companies and the differing opinions out there . . . ughhhhh!
Thanks,
