The cycle of tongue biting and its resulting pain can create a psychological burden. The simple act of inserting a night guard before sleep can offer an immediate sense of relief, contributing to improved mental well-being. When To Avoid Night Guards?

When you bite your tongue repeatedly, the consequences go beyond temporary discomfort. Pain is the most immediate problem, which can range from mild to excruciating. Before purchasing a device, carefully research the top models on your list to see if there have been any known defects or safety issues associated with those products. You can also reach out to customer service personnel to inquire about potential safety concerns. The life of your dental guard depends on how often you grind your teeth and the force of your teeth grinding.

I am a repeat customer. I love you guys! I am a severe tongue biter and your guards have been lifesavers. Thank you! Dental expanders and other dental appliances can cause significant discomfort and often lacerations to the tongue. The metal used to make these dental appliances can also cause an allergic reaction in some individuals. My son had such an extreme reaction to his expander that I had to do something to help him and so, Tongue Guard™ was born. Tongue Guard™ is a custom-fit, soft tray that conforms to your mouth for a comfortable and reliable fit. It creates a smooth hypo-allergenic barrier between the dental appliance and your tongue. It works best when used as soon as your dental appliance is placed, as a preventative measure. This will keep your tongue from becoming sore, cut, and/or possibly infected. However, if you are already experiencing adverse effects from a dental appliance, Tongue Guard™ can provide immediate relief and speed healing. You can wear it as often and for as long as needed and it is recommended you wear it at night, as your tongue relaxes against the dental appliance as you sleep which can cause great discomfort upon waking. They are all carefully designed and tested by experts and professional dentists to ensure a one-size-fits-all form. The tasteless polyvinyl material allows for the ultimate durability and comfort, while their thin design makes it easy to wear without feeling too bulky.

Most MAD mouthpieces are designed for boil-and-bite customization. Simply submerge the device in boiled water to soften the thermoplastic in its upper and lower trays, then remove, cool, and bite down on both thermoplastic layers. (Specific instructions vary by model.) If you find yourself biting your tongue specifically at night, it could be attributed to a few possible factors: Improved oral health: Protect your oral tissues from further damage, allowing them to heal properly and maintain better overall oral health.At this point, you may need to place the mouthpiece in cold water for a couple of seconds, but most models will be ready for molding – though you should let the thermoplastic cool off for a moment before biting into it. Ignoring tongue-biting is not an option. Treating tongue-biting habits effectively relieves pain and allows easier speaking and eating. Most importantly, timely intervention can prevent bacterial infections that could otherwise be serious. Store your mouth guard in a protective case that allows for ventilation, so it can dry out completely. This will keep your mouth guard clean and help prevent bacteria from growing on the surface

Soak your mouth guard in antimicrobial solutions between uses, which can be found at most pharmacies. Your dentist may recommend a particular solution depending on the mouthguard you have Chew carefully: Make a conscious effort to chew your food thoroughly before swallowing. Take smaller bites and ensure that the food is adequately broken down before moving it around in your mouth.Sleep apnea often exacerbates tongue biting during sleep. Treatments like Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machines or oral devices designed to open the airway can be effective. These treatments are often more specialized and expensive, making mouthguards a cost-effective alternative for those without severe sleep apnea. Behavioral Therapy
