What specifically is this orthotic? When do you wear it?
It's like a crown over all of your lower front teeth. It's attached. You wear it everyday. No more flossing. You have to use a water pik. It actually looks very natural.

Hmmm.....
So this device is cemented to your lower front teeth and you cannot remove it to clean. What will he do next? I ask because it sounds like this device will not allow your back teeth to touch and doesn't this make it difficult to eat.
How about a pic, just snap one with your phone and post.

PLEASE do not do this without trying the original removable version first. It's called a "NTI".
Super simplified, most mouthguards, that cover all of the teeth in one arch, just cause your joint and muscle pain to increase as you chew on the mouthguard all night long.
With a NTI, too much force is placed on just a few teeth, your brain says, "hey, stop doing that", the response is similar to what happens when you bite down on a BB, or anything else that is really hard and unexpected, your jaws pop open.
Here is a pic:
Any dentist should be able to make one, I use the "Keller" lab. I think I charge $300, maybe $400.
