Bite guard. prostho: Dear bikash1: i am so sorry to hear about the trouble you are having. However, there are many reasons for the use of a bite guard, accordingly, there are different designs which are employed. Since, it is impossible for anyone to actually assess your situation without a proper physical examination, the only thing that i can recommend is that you go back to your dentist or prosthodontist. Best, .

Bite Guard: There are may different types of occlusal orthotics. Perhaps you bite guard is not the best type for the cause of your pain. Perhaps it requires adjustment, you should have had multiple adjustments by now. Return to the Dentist who fabricated your alliance, the practitioner that did your diagnostic evaluation, and discuss your situation.
