Questions About Nightguard

[kenny siu]

Hello
I have teeth grinding during sleep and I need nightguard for protection.

Do I need two piece of nightguard ? or is it enough to get one piece of nightguard for either upper teeth or lower teeth?

Actually I already visited a dentist today and he suggested me to make one piece for lower teeth, which is enough.

I forgot to ask him if one piece alone for lower teeth is enough. Would it cause too much friction for my upper teeth in that case?

Any advice?

I can't believe someone hasn't answered you Kenny. I can't really tell you what to do. I would think one on the top or bottom. Be careful when you get one and ask them everything you can about the guard. One of the dentist I went to had one made for me ( they make the there at his office) and I didn't ask any questions. It is a hard acrylic. Looks terrible and feels worse. It is so tight I can't wear it.
Anyway I think probably just one for the top or bottom.
