Did you know that night guards prevent many different dangerous oral habits? Not only do they prevent teeth grinding, clenching, and tongue chewing but they can also protect against cheek biting. So what is the best mouth guard for cheek biting and what makes it special? Let’s go over common factors in cheek biting and a few ways that you can prevent it.
Cheek biting is a nasty habit that can affect adults of all ages. It can be brought on by stress and anxiety. If you are in a particularly stressful period of your life dealing with a career, personal relationships, finances, school, or just everyday life, your stress and anxiety may become overwhelming. When not properly dealt with, your body will subconsciously react to that stress while you sleep. By unpacking your emotions and experiences from the day, your body will react to those negative feelings by releasing them through clenching and grinding your mouth. Sometimes, you may chew the insides of your cheeks and cause damage. One way to prevent this is with a mouth guard for cheek biting.
While your dentist may be able to repair your teeth when they are chipped, cracked, or broken, the only way your cheeks will heal is with your body naturally doing it. Your body can only naturally heal your cheeks through rest and preventative measures to ensure that your cheeks are protected. The best mouth guard for cheek biting is a soft night guard.
This mouth guard for cheek biting is created from one layer of 3mm clear soft EVA material. It’s extremely comfortable and is designed to protect against teeth grinding, clenching, and cheek biting. A custom night guard gives you more protection than an over-the-counter drugstore guard which are boil-and-bites. The drugstore ones tend to wear down easily and fall apart after a few months. These custom night guards are crafted to take maximum punishment.
Cheek biting occurs when your teeth bite down on the insides of your cheek. This may happen throughout the night, or a one-time occurrence that takes a big chunk off your cheek. Not only can this be painful, but it can lead to sores, and if infected, can spread to other areas of your mouth requiring a prescription to help heal and disinfect your mouth. Sometimes, cheek biting can occur during the day as your mind subconsciously nibbles on the insides of your cheeks, similar to how one bites your fingernails. If you get into that habit, it’s tough to stop and your cheeks will only heal once you’ve kicked the habit.
Protecting yourself with a mouth guard for cheek biting will help your cheeks heal if they’ve been chewed up or prevent the habit from happening altogether. When you wear a night guard, it puts a barrier on your teeth and even if they rub, or bite down on your cheeks, the points of your teeth are encased so no damage is done. Night guards also protect against teeth grinding and clenching which can damage the teeth and jaw joints.
