What is this???

#1 Post by OneBluCrayon »

Ok i know this may seem silly and all, but.... I was given these because i clench my teeth together. I was told these are used to help. But am i to heat them in water and let them shape to my teeth? Or just use them as is.... Im not sure... Anyone else out there use these??

If you're on the ride, you might as well open your eyes!

Your post is a few months old, so you've probably already found out what these are for, but just in case you haven't here goes. They are for you to bite down on when your teeth are sore - it really helps, and no, you don't heat them up, they don't mold to your teeth - they're like adult "teething rings!" Cheers, BHW
