Other uses include teeth bleaching; a mouth guard will contain the bleaching agent and then simply slipped over the teeth until they are whitened. But they are used to prevent injury as well. The city can be a stressful place to live and stress causes one in three people to suffer from bruxism or teeth grinding. If this goes untreated, it can cause serious damage to the mouths occlusion or ‘bite’; a mouth guard is often used in the treatment of this problem as it protects the teeth from wear.
