Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could help. I have been suffering from bruxism and as a result my dentist says I have a tongue thrust habit (Does anyone else suffer from this?) She says I have an overbite, an openbite and a cross bite at the back of my teeth and in her opinion this is why I brux. Does anyone agree with this? The thing is she has fitted me with an expansion brace from my upper jaw (an upper 3D shwartz) and a expansion brace for my lower jaw (a lower shwartz). The only problem is I am bruxing into the top brace as it is covered in hard plastic and don't know how I can stop? Please please help this is driving me crazy x
