Abnormal Bite: Your bite should revert back after you stop wearing your DIY appliance. Wait until your bite feels perfectly comfortable and normal, then have a professionally manufactured mouthguard fabricated.

Stop!: Stop wearing OTC mouthguard immediately. If your occlusion does not revert to full comfort in 2-4 weeks, please see a specialist Orthodontist. Once an asymtomatic occlusion has been reestablished, your Dentist can professionally fabricate the appropriate oral health care appliance.
