Invisalign or Night Guard...Which Ones Best For Your Patient?

I constantly see dental professional evaluating incised wear, faucets, recession, and fracture lines. They see this and immediately recommend a night guard. But, if you looked at the big picture, you would see that most patients have an incorrect bite,which leads to their problems. See a night guard only helps them for about 8 hours during the night and leaves their teeth vunerable the rest of the 24 hours. By correcting the bite, the teeth and jaw will hit correctly and will stop the permanant wear. Lets be proactive and start getting to the etiology and root problems of our patients. Be a detective and help your patients.
