Horrible overbite
I’m 29 F. I had braces for about maybe 2 years in middle school. My teeth straightened out and my overbite was a serious issue. I had the metal contraption in my mouth instead of headgear.
Honestly I never wore my retainer after they were removed but I assume that’s to keep the teeth straightened and not to do with the over bite.
My dentist had just informed me by the time I’m 49 I won’t have bottom teeth. I have a night guard I wear at night but I haven’t been wearing it.
I’ve seen sleep apnea retainers to wear at night that bring the bottom jaw forward that would be beneficial for me considering my lower jaw sits farther back. Could I wear that instead of my night guard to prevent teeth grinding?
