....coincidence adult daughter just went back to dentist has small one but had chewed right through it so he made a new one no charge! I had one years ago and there was NO wear and tear showing on it used for years... so I would suggest contacting dentist ..... hopefully he/she will replace....
@tisme - What happened to yours after 12 months?
havent had this 12 months yet but others in the past were disasters. the one i have now is really good i just wondered how long splints have lasted for others.
@tisme My dentist told me 3-4 years is typical. That was my experience- usually the material would get britlle and tiny cracks appeared. Fortunately, I don't need mine anymore since I finished raising teens and retiring from a stressful career.
