I
paid
for
an
expensive
bite
guard
with
Dr.
Adachi
and
wore
it
faithfully
every
day
for
about
a
year.
It’s
meant
to
prevent
wear
and
tear
on
teeth
from
grinding.
But
during
that
time
I
lost
two
molars
on
the
bottom,
in
the
back
where
the
jaw
hinges.
Clearly,
the
bite
guard
did
not
do
its
job,
but
it
also
made
the
problem
much
worse.
I
won’t
bore
y’all
with
the
horror
story
of
expensive
specialists,
a
root
canal,
an
abscess,
and
a
crown
that
kept
breaking
off
while
eating,
(all
for
nothing
as
it
ended
in
extraction
anyhow).
But
I
will
say
I
used
to
wake
up
with
new
pain
at
the
back
of
my
jaw
after
wearing
the
guard
at
night.
And
I
could
feel
the
pressure
there
while
clenching
my
teeth
with
the
guard
in.
Though
it
didn’t
appear
to
be
rubbing
at
the
dentist
office,
while
making
adjustments
on
the
guard,
clearly
it
was.
I
understand
businesses
having
to
be
careful
about
what
they
apologize
for
and
avoiding
liability.
But
at
the
very
very
least,
they
could
have
refunded
me
for
the
bite
guard
as
it
did
not
do
its
job,
and
I
would
never
ever
wear
it
again.
Instead
I
got
apologies
for
the
tough
luck,
and
an
offer
to
adjust
the
bite
guard,
which
somehow
falls
short
of
being
helpful.
