ABSTRACT:
A pressure sensitive mouth piece has a pressure detector-sound unit assembly mounted on or embedded in the molded bite guard. When a patient clenches or bruxes his teeth, the pressure detector senses that condition and activates the sound unit to emit a tone audible to the patient. The patient is thereby alerted that he is clenching or bruxing his teeth so he can stop. Alternatively, a mechanical clicker can be embedded in the mouth piece and will emit an audible tone when the patient clenches or bruxes his teeth.
