Sensitive Teeth/Worn Enamel: Protection + Alignment in One

Sensitive Teeth/Worn Enamel: Protection + Alignment in One

Your teeth hurt when you sip cold water.
 Your enamel looks translucent or thin.
 You’re grinding at night—and your bite feels off.

It’s not just sensitivity.
 It’s not just erosion.
 It’s collapse—of your bite, your enamel, your structure.

Most products focus on covering up the pain (toothpaste, varnishes, fluoride).
 But if you’re dealing with sensitive teeth and worn enamel, you need more than protection.

You need a solution that also corrects the alignment causing the problem.

Enter: Reviv—a mouthguard designed to protect your teeth and rebuild structure from the ground up.

 

1. What Causes Sensitivity and Enamel Erosion?

Here’s the real root:

  • Nighttime grinding (bruxism)
  • Bite misalignment
  • Tooth-on-tooth pressure while sleeping
  • Lost vertical height from wear
  • Acidic diet or overly aggressive brushing

The enamel doesn’t just disappear. It’s ground down, compressed, and stressed until it thins out.

 

2. Why Sensitivity Products Don’t Solve the Problem

Desensitizing toothpaste?
 It masks the pain.
 Mouthwash? Temporary.
 Fluoride varnish? Surface level.

But none of these address:

  • The structural pressure from your jaw
  • The clenching reflex that destroys enamel nightly
  • The way your bite alignment affects your enamel and nervous system

3. Why Alignment Is Key to Stopping the Erosion Loop

When your bite is collapsed:

  • There’s less space between upper and lower teeth
  • The jaw compresses, forcing you to grind even harder
  • The enamel wears down faster
  • And sensitivity increases as dentin is exposed

Re-aligning the bite creates space.
 It resets the force vectors.
 It decompresses the joint and protects the enamel from inside out.

 

4. The Reviv Difference: Protection + Realignment

Most mouthguards:

  • Are soft plastic chewed through in 2 months
  • Don’t add any bite height
  • Lock your jaw in one position
  • Only protect teeth—not alignment

Reviv is different.

It:

  • Adds vertical height
  • Unlocks occlusion so the jaw can move naturally
  • Reduces enamel wear and realigns the skull
  • Reverses the collapse causing your grinding reflex in the first place

5. Why Most Guards Fail to Protect Enamel Long-Term

Here’s why boil-and-bite guards or dentist splints don’t work long term:

  • Too thin → You grind through it
  • Locked jaw → You reinforce bad alignment
  • No decompression → You keep clenching
  • No bite lift → You stay collapsed

Result?
 You protect your teeth for 4–6 weeks… but the enamel loss continues.

 

6. What You Need in a Mouthguard for Sensitive Teeth

Your guard should:

  • Create space between upper and lower arches
  • Cushion the bite while allowing movement
  • Relieve jaw pressure on nerves that trigger grinding
  • Fit comfortably for nightly wear without slippage

Reviv checks all these boxes.

7. Which Reviv Model Is Best for Sensitivity + Alignment?

  • Reviv One → Soft and flexible for beginner comfort + daily wear
  • Reviv Two → Firmer option for stronger grinders or advanced compression
  • With Support → Great for those with prior dental work or misaligned arches

10. Will Reviv Prevent Future Enamel Loss?

Yes—by:

  • Reducing grinding
  • Rebalancing force distribution across teeth
  • Restoring vertical dimension
  • Preventing the tooth-on-tooth trauma that destroys enamel

Plus: You stop waking up sore. You sleep deeper. You preserve what you have left.

FAQs

1. Can Reviv stop my enamel from wearing down?
 Yes. It reduces grinding pressure, realigns your bite, and protects your teeth long-term.

2. Will it fix sensitivity completely?
 It dramatically reduces it. You may still need enamel support—but the root cause (grinding) will be stopped.

3. Is it safe for long-term use?
 Yes. BPA-free, non-invasive, and designed for nightly wear.

4. Do I need a dentist to use it?
 Nope. DIY fit. No custom mold needed.

5. What if I’ve already worn down my back teeth?
 Then this is especially important. Reviv adds back lost height and gives your jaw a break.

6. Can I wear it during the day?
 Yes—especially Reviv Two. Many use it while working or commuting.

7. Does it help with clenching too?
 Yes. Clenching and grinding often cause sensitivity and erosion—Reviv interrupts both.

8. Can teens use this?
 Yes—with adult supervision. Start with Reviv One.
