I'm getting a bite plate , how is it mad and y does it take 3 visits?!


Question: I'm only guessing that you're getting one because you grind your teeth at night.
Usually, the first visit is for the initial evaluation and to get impressions of your upper teeth.
Next, the dentist sends the model of your teeth to a lab, where they fabricate a "plate" for your teeth either out of plastic or acrylic. They make it to fit your teeth exactly and it is usually a very specific thickness
The second appt is to try it on and smooth down any rough spots.
The third appt is to re-check it for fit/smoothness and to see if it is helping your problem.
