People have a habit of grinding their teeth due to stress. Grinding and clenching of teeth can cause the outer layer of the teeth (enamel) to wear away exposing dentine which is the sensitive part of the teeth. This habit can also result in TMJ pain and clicking. To break the habit and to protect the teeth, a mouth-guard which is a clear rubber material can be custom made. The measurements of the teeth are taken in the form of an impression and a model is cast and a clear sheet covered over the model which will be shaped according to the teeth. The mouth-guard can also be used in people playing sports to prevent the teeth from trauma during in case of accidents.
