yes for most people i recommend a soft (professionally made) occlusal guard to be worn while sleeping and/or any daytime activity which is particularly stressful or dangerous to your smile....I evaluate the wear on the guard in addition to symptoms at each follow-up appointment to determine is additional treatment may be necessaryIs that the same as a mouth guard or something different? I was thinking of getting one recently cause I’ve read it can help with TMJ and some other stuff haha
