A member asked:
I haven't worn my dental mouthguard for a year, but now it hurts my teeth. have my teeth moved?

Most likely yes: Do not wear this appliance.. it will cause more harm than do good. You'll need to make an appointment with your orthodontist... either the appliance can be adjusted to fit properly, or you'll need a new one.

Change: Chances are the mouth guard didn't change, your mouth did. Please return to the Dentist that made the mouthguard for revision or replacement.

Mouthguard: Yes, teeth can move slightly over time and even slight differences in tooth position can result in a mouthguard or other dental appliance not fitting. See a dentist to have your situation evaluated.
