Years of bruxism. How do I fix my lower teeth?
I had a perfect bite as a teenager. I was told to wear a night guard all my life because I clench my teeth. I was very negligent with it though. I only started wearing the night guard at night in the past months regularly. I’m 28 y/o now. As you can see, my lower teeth are short and worn down. I can’t help it. I often get the urge to apply pressure on my lower front teeth with my upper front teeth. It’s a tick to me, something like skin picking or hair pulling in others, I guess. I think it’s due to stress and anxiety. It’s some kind of stress relief for me. I also have a deviated septum which could also contribute to this.
How can I fix this? I’m making sure to not exacerbate the damage but how are worn down teeth like this usually treated? Do I just have to accept them?
