overbite from mouthguard
hi, i recently started wearing mouthguard and ive noticed that after a long session, i get a temporary overbite, this seems to really scare me because in order to make my bite sit together aligned i have bring mandible forward, i wanted to know is it supposed to be like this? or should i be concerned and not use it anymore? my goal is bite correction and teeth alignment, but this overbite after wearing it scares me, please help me

Odd, I seem to have the opposite problem. It brings my mandible forward so only my front teeth touch and I can't pull it back for a little while. Makes eating harder but it does go back. Perhaps you aren't wearing it properly? Seems to me it should always pull the mandible (lower jaw) forward as the grooves on top and bottom line up.
Thumb pulling confusion
I'm struggling to understand how one thumb "pulls" by applying minimal pressure and more massaging only the palate. The goal is to widen the palate arch, so wouldn't you also apply pressure along the arch in an outward direction? Also, has anyone found their thumbs to get dry and cracked even with thumb pulling only a few minutes a day.

ISO mom who removed braces
Is the mom who had her kids' braces removed early in order to start using Reviv instead, on this forum? I have questions as I'm in a similar boat with my own aligner treatment.

@Claire B I went ahead and stopped my ortho. Even though I had about 4-5 months left to finish up. I was happy enough with how things looked to stop early so I could wear Reviv. Unfortunately I wore it only a few days before I caught a cold and now I'm waiting out the cough stage before I can use it again. I don't know if I can commit to hours of thumpulling though. Do these people not have jobs or families?
