What Is a Habit Appliance?

A habit appliance is a device designed to stop you from engaging in a certain behavior that might be dangerous for your oral health. For example, there are lots of people who grind their teeth. If you grind your teeth, you risk degrading your enamel down to nubs. Furthermore, it can lead to muscle tightness, nerve pain, and other oral health complications.

Some people grind their teeth due to anxiety. Other people grind their teeth in their sleep. Regardless, you might need a habit appliance that can stop the teeth grinding from happening. In this case, a habit appliance can place a layer between your rows of teeth, preventing you from damaging your enamel. We would be happy to help you design the right appliance to meet your needs.

How Do You Find the Right Habit Appliance for Your Needs?

At Caring Dental, we will work with you to design the right habit appliance for your requirements. First, we will take a complete dental history to determine what type of habit we need to help you break. We want to hear about when the symptoms started and the issues they have created in your life. That way, we can arrive at the right diagnosis.

After that, we may take an impression of your mouth to ensure we have the right shape. Every mouth is different, and we want your habit appliance to be specifically designed for your mouth. That will make it as comfortable as possible. 

We may also ask you to come back for a follow-up appointment to make sure the appliance is working as it should. We may also discuss how long you need to keep using the appliance.
