One of the worse dental habits you can do is clenching and grinding of your teeth. So many problems arise from this habit. Gum recession, broken teeth, TMJ pain, headaches, migraines, spacing between teeth and periodontal problems are to name a few. The problem is, this habit can not be permanently stopped. We can only protect against it. A traditional style night guard is not the answer. Muscles aches and soreness will still occur. My special retainer style clear acrylic appliance is the answer. It will relieve muscle soreness, tension and I bet you get a better nights sleep. Contact us for details. Darren Chu D.D.S. – Anaheim Hills
