Hello Drs Cannell & Stafford. I suffer with Bruxism and have to wear a mouth guard at night to stop me from grinding my teeth. My teeth are very crooked though so I would like to have braces. My dentist says I should have traditional fixed braces but I would much prefer to have Invisalign. I can see why my dentist doesn’t think I should have Invisalign as I wouldn’t be able to wear the guard at night but I would like a second opinion anyway. Would my tooth grinding wear away at the aligners? I really don’t want big metal braces so are there other options for me if I can’t have Invisalign? Thank you.
