Worried about my bite when I sleep?!
Question: Worried about my bite when I sleep!?
So my teeth are very good and straight and I have never had any real issues with them but I have noticed that when I am falling asleep I relax my jaw and my front teeth end up positioned behind my back teeth!. Could this possibly mess up my bite!? Should I be concerned!? If I do go to the dentist and ask what do you think they will recommend, if anything!? Thank you =]Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Unless you are waking up with soreness in your jaws, around your ears or teeth, I would not worry about it!. Your teeth and jaw come to a comfortable resting place when you are relaxed and sleeping!. If you are waking up with pain, then I would make an appointment with your dentist to discuss options, one of which would be having a nightguard fabricated!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
