A member asked:
Is it okay to get a bite plate after getting the 6 upper front teeth crowned?
5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Absolutely: Having an appliance to help correct a problem with your overall bite can only help to protect the restorative work done to your anterior teeth. Bite plates are commonly used to correct deep bites. Deep bites can have traumatic affects to restorative work on anterior teeth. It is recommended after extensive anterior work to have some type of protection to wear esp at night, a bite plate is just it!

Yes!!: This is highly recommended. The bite plate, or mouth guard, will help to protect your investment in those upper front teeth. The bite plate can also protect you back teeth from the harmful effects of grinding if you do that.

YES: A well made bite plate will help those crowns last even longer.
