@ashaorthodontics: Bite Blocks with Braces When braces are first placed, the top teeth will often bite onto the bottom braces which could cause them to break. In order to prevent this, bite pads are added to create space between the top and bottom teeth when biting down fully. This prevents the top teeth from biting and breaking off the bottom braces. Common names for Bite Blocks are Bite Turbos, Bite Cushions or Bite Pads. The bite blocks are usually glued onto the back molars and they remain in place for a few months until enough bite correction has been completed and the top teeth no longer bite on the bottom braces. Once there is enough bite clearance and the top teeth are no longer onto the bottom braces, the bite blocks can be removed. #orthodontist #biteblocks #ortho #braces #newsmile
i had bite blocks put in and overtime they obviously wore down but my ortho never put more in or anything and my top teeth touch my bottom braces again

Can I request bite blocks because sometimes when I bite down, I tend to move my jaw forward through irritation and grind my upper teeth to my bottom teeth so I’m afraid that I might bite off my braces and I’m getting them tomorrow. Do you think I would be able to request bite blockers.

Off topic but can I have braces with a missing tooth? I am getting an extraction and I was wondering if I can have braces meanwhile I wait on the implant? Or can I get the implant and braces at the same time?
