Try and tell us: There is no panacea for everyone. In some, over-the-counter bite guards work just as well. Try and let us know.

Not sure: Fda, does not mean it will work for everyone. When you get a custom made occlusal night guard you get an accurate fit that matches your own teeth/nigtbite and you get the supervision by your dentist. You need to have someone to fit, adjust, supervise and monitor your bite, teeth can shift and your bite can change. Not provided with over the counter products. Dr mokbel ( scdentalimplants.Com).
