Cirkeline

Answer:

Dear Cirkeline

If you've used bite splint for six months or longer without improvement of your symptoms, I think you should ask your dentist to refer you to an orthodontic department.

Hope you can use my answer.

Sincerely

Dentist Joan Olsen

Tendency to bite the wear of teeth and chewing surfaces

Question:

Hi, I have been at tandlæge.Jeg tends to a small mouth and wears my front teeth back quite strongly and chewing surfaces.
The dentist said the solution was to raise the bite so that the incisors do not slides.Der had 14 crowns in the mouth.
The dentist modeled plastic on my teeth and found a height up so slulle put crowns på.Så he apparently cold feet because he sanded then all the plastic of my teeth and that it was no good I would rather have a rail of the same robustness as a bite rails glued on chewing surfaces and back of fortænderne.Nu I've gone with plastic glued to the teeth for about 4 months and it is certainly not comfortable with such a stiff tooth box.
if I would have sealed a tooth what about the plastic. I can not use dental floss.
I must say that it has helped my headaches to raise my bite (had headaches 4-5 days a week)
Do not have a good advice

Jens

Answer:

Dear Jens

It's a little difficult to comment on such a case as yours. But you can easily raise the bite with crowns, but 14 crowns sounds a little violent.
Ang. plastic splint, you can deal with a removable splint that the patient wears a while to find the correct bite height again, but I do not know anything that you glue them onto the teeth, which I find inappropriate and this compromises your own oral hygiene much.

I recommend you talk to your dentist as soon as possible about the treatment plan he has done, perhaps. seek out another dentist for a new academic assessment. You are also welcome to contact dental schools in Copenhagen and Aarhus.

Hope you can use my answer.

Sincerely

Dentist Joan Olsen
