Can I use Dr. Brux if I wear an orthodontic appliance? Are there any side effects to using Dr. Brux? What is the Dr. Brux Return Policy? What is Bruxism? Bruxism is an involuntary act of clenching or grinding your teeth, especially during sleep. back to top How do I know if I need to wear a night guard? If you experience jaw joint pain, neck pain or even vertigo and headaches plus possible chipping of the teeth or any other type of visible damage, it is most likely you suffer from BRUXISM and will need to purchase a night guard.. back to top What difference is there between Dr. Brux and a night guard made by the dentist? What difference is there between a tailor-made suit and a ready-made one? Who wouldn't rather wear made to measure clothes every day? Unfortunately this isn't always possible, for obvious reasons. Dr. Brux, although a ready-made night guard, it is able to offer the same level of comfort to that of a made to measure one, thanks to its characteristics and unusual features. In the case of mouthpieces, too, as used by sportspeople such as boxing, rugby, martial arts, hockey, etc., the possibility exists of having "made to measure" mouthpieces, but actually 99% of them are bought ready-made in sports shops. Obviously the night guard's function is not just protective and relaxing but, above all, functional, as in the case of joint disorders or posture problems. back to top Should Dr. Brux be worn at night only? Apart from night use, you're advised to use Dr. Brux whenever you feel your jaw muscle contracting (clinching). This can happen in situations of stress, tension or when you are playing a sport requiring great concentration. In these cases the thickness of the night guard causes the muscles to lengthen, thus causing a reduction in chewing strength. This effect reduces muscle force, carrying out a stretching action (lengthening of the muscles). back to top Is Dr. Brux a nuisance while sleeping? No, it isn't a nuisance, but like everything new, it takes a short time to get used to it. You need to persevere for the first few nights, when an increase in salivation may occur or, on the contrary, a dry mouth, but all this is perfectly normal. This is a normal reaction of the mouth to having a foreign body in it. Once you are used to it, Dr. Brux will become an integral part of your night's sleep. back to top Does Dr. Brux exist only in one size? Yes, because Dr. Brux can be adapted perfectly to a small or large mouth. If it proves too long, the case of a particularly small mouth, then it can be shortened by cutting a piece off with small scissors. back to top Can Dr. Brux be made to fit a child too? It's important that permanent teeth are present. Milk teeth are very small and thin and it wouldn't be possible to get enough stability and retention in adapting the night guard. Unfortunately, cases of night grinding are found even in very small children with milk teeth and for them it's indispensable to trust a specialist's opinion. back to top Can the fitting procedure be repeated? Of course, Dr. Brux can be remoulded several times without changing its characteristics. Being able to repeat the fitting is an advantage not only if you make a mistake in the custom fitting, but especially if your dental situation changes. With Dr. Brux you'll always have the chance to remold it. back to top How long does Dr. Brux last? It's difficult to give a precise indication as it greatly depends on the dental situation and degree of bruxism. Sometimes particularly sharp teeth and severe bruxism can cut or quickly wear down the occlusal surface of the Bite tray. However, in standard conditions Dr. Brux can last for years. back to top Can I use Dr. Brux if I wear an orthodontic appliance? In this case, it is important to seek the advice of your dentist. back to top Are there any side effects to using Dr. Brux? Generally speaking, none. Obviously, in the case of dental, gingival or joint disorders, or in the presence of removable dentures or orthodontic appliances, before using Dr. Brux it's advisable to see a dentist. back to top What is the Dr. Brux Return Policy?
