🦷 Which Crown Is Better for Worn / Attrition Teeth?

Zirconia or PBM? Let’s make it simple! 😊

When teeth are badly worn down from grinding or heavy bite, choosing the right crown is very important — not only for strength, but also to protect the opposite tooth.

⸻

✅ 1. Full Zirconia Crown

Best choice for most attrition cases
• Very strong & long-lasting
• Less chance of fracture
• Gentle to the opposite tooth when well-polished
• Can be made thinner — good when tooth is short
• More aesthetic than metal

Perfect for: bruxism, heavy bite, molars, premolars.

⸻

✅ 2. PBM Crown (Porcelain-Bonded-to-Metal)

There are two types — and the difference matters a lot.

🔹 PBM with Metal Occlusal

✔ Strongest design
✔ No porcelain chipping
✔ Gentle to the opposite tooth
✔ Good when space is limited
✔ Ideal for back molars

Limitation: Metal biting surface is visible.

🔹 PBM with Porcelain Occlusal

✖ Not suitable for severe attrition
✖ Porcelain can wear the opposite tooth
✖ Higher risk of chipping in bruxers

⸻

🥇 So… which is better?

For most worn teeth:
👉 Full Zirconia

For very strong bite or very limited space:
👉 PBM with Metal Occlusal

Avoid: PBM with porcelain biting surface in grinders.

A night guard is always recommended if grinding is present. 😊

🦷 LOCALIZED ATTRITION — Why Only One Tooth Wears Off?

(And why the tooth becomes sensitive)

When one molar wears down much faster than the rest, we call it localized attrition.

🔍 Why does it happen? (Causes)

Localised wear usually means that tooth is taking more force than others.

The Common causes:
✔ Uneven bite / premature contact
✔ Chewing mostly on one side
✔ Night grinding hitting one specific spot
✔ Missing teeth nearby → overload on remaining tooth
✔ Tooth tilted / out of alignment
✔ Old restorations causing high point
✔ Overall collapsed bite causing heavy contact on one molar

⸻

⚠️ What happens to the tooth?

When only one area wears too much:
• Enamel is gone
• Dentine is exposed
• The tooth becomes sensitive (cold / sweet / pressure)
• Tooth becomes shorter, weaker, and easily worn

⸻

🛠 How do we treat it?

1️⃣ Metal Surface Crown

✔ Strong and durable
✔ Works well when space is limited
✔ Protects the tooth
✔ Restores proper height
✔ Prevents further wear

Often the best choice for severe attrition cases.

2️⃣ Night Guard

✔ Protects the new crown
✔ Reduces grinding force
✔ Prevents further wear
✔ Helps stabilise the bite
✔ Reduces jaw muscle stress

⸻

Localized attrition means one tooth is overloaded → enamel gone → sensitive tooth.
Treatment usually involves:
👉 Metal-surface crown
👉 Night guard for long-term protection

🦷 Why Tongue Position Is SO Important (Especially for Kids!)

Many parents ask: “Why my child’s lower jaw looks narrow?”
One BIG reason is ➡️ tongue posture.

👅 The Tongue Shapes the Jaw

When the tongue rests on the palate, lips closed, and breathing through the nose:
✔️ Jaws grow wider
✔️ Teeth align better
✔️ Facial growth becomes more balanced

When the tongue stays low or forward (mouth breathing):
❌ Upper & lower jaw become narrow
❌ Teeth overcrowd
❌ Bite problems & TMJ clicking
❌ Snoring or poor sleep quality

🧸 How Myobrace Helps

Myobrace is a gentle habit-correction system that guides:
✨ Correct tongue resting position
✨ Nose breathing
✨ Proper swallowing
✨ Wider, healthier jaw development

Perfect for kids with:
• Crowded teeth
• Narrow lower jaw
• Mouth breathing
• Tongue thrust
• Unstable bite

“A correct tongue posture is the strongest natural expander.”
Start early, grow healthy. 💙

🦷 Zirconia Crown — Restore Strength, Restore Confidence

Sometimes a tooth becomes too weak for a normal filling — especially when:
✔️ The filling is too big or unfavourable
✔️ The tooth is discoloured
✔️ It has gone through root canal treatment
✔️ The structure is fragile and needs support

That’s when a zirconia crown becomes a great choice.
It is:
✨ Strong & long-lasting
✨ Very aesthetic — mimics natural teeth
✨ No porcelain chipping
✨ Comfortable & biocompatible

A well-made crown doesn’t just protect the tooth…
it brings back your natural smile, colour and confidence.
If you notice cracks, discolouration or large fillings — feel free to let us check.
We’re always happy to help. 🩵😊

🌙😬 Do You Grind Your Teeth?

A gentle reminder about bruxism and how a mouthguard can help 💙

Many people grind or clench their teeth without knowing it.
Over time, it can cause:

🦷 Severe attrition – teeth become flat or short
🦷 Sensitivity when taking cold or hot food
🦷 Jaw discomfort or morning tightness
🦷 Pain when chewing
🦷 Tooth cracks or fractures

⸻

💙 How a Mouthguard Helps

A custom night mouthguard can:
✔ Protect your teeth from further wear
✔ Reduce stress on jaw joints
✔ Minimise sensitivity
✔ Prevent cracked teeth and damaged fillings
✔ Make your sleep more comfortable

A small step, but it protects your smile long-term. 😊✨
