Plan B Forum

Maybe you medicos can mull over this one;

Migrating masticators, or: tooth drift!

It's weird- I've been having floss more due to a gap growing as I age; and decidedly my teeth have all shifted from my youth, when they were forcibly straightened into perfect, unnatural lines by orthodontic instruments of torture.

Why is that? It's not like I chew whale blubber regularly, or gnaw the furniture in preparation of building a dam. I don't even like to chew gum (thanks to the aforementioned orthodontic trauma) ...and my favorite oral hobby frowns on the use of teeth.
So, why are they moving? Was I a bad landlady? Did I not meet all the Health and Fire Standard Requirements for Residency in a single-wide mouth?

I would hazard a guess that you are grinding your teeth in your sleep, Lo.

You are stressed and need to relax. That is never an easy thing to learn.

Are chew Crazy?


But seriously: Not a bad guess but I thought teeth grinding was also associated with flattening of the face of the molars? All faces are in good shape.
