FAQ
-
How often should I wear the Asesso GrindGuard?
For best results, we recommend that you wear your custom-made Asesso GrindGuard every night.
-
How often should I measure my grinding scores?
We recommend getting a baseline by wearing the Asesso Sensor for 3 nights (without the Asesso GrindGuard). After establishing the baseline, wear the Asesso GrindGuard every night. You can use the Asesso Sensor as often as you would like, but we recommend monitoring your grinding at least once a week.
You can monitor progress on the Asesso Health App. Note that factors such as increasing your water intake, minimal alcohol consumption, getting enough sleep, avoiding processed food, sunlight exposure, and getting regular exercise, and reducing stress will always have a positive impact and could be used regularly to improve these metrics.
-
How often do I need to charge the Asesso Sensor?
The Asesso Smart Dock is designed to automatically charge the Sensor as soon as it is placed in position. Make sure that the Sensor is placed in the right orientation, matching the 3 gold pins on the dock with those on the Sensor.
As soon as the sensor is securely placed on the smart dock, it will automatically activate Bluetooth. You can open the Asesso Health App and sync all the data at this time. It’s always a good idea to keep the Asesso Sensor in the Smart Dock at all times, when not in use.
-
How long will the Asesso GrindGuard last?
It depends. The Asesso mouthguard will typically serve well between 6-12 months for light-to-moderate grinders. Depending on the severity of your grinding habits, the GrindGuard may need to be replaced after 3-6 months (for a severe grinder).
Separately, we do recommend that you replace your night guard every 6 months for hygiene reasons.
-
How do I know when the Asesso GrindGuard has been sanitized?
Every time the Asesso GrindGuard is placed inside the Asesso smart dock, the in-built UV-C LED lights will disinfect the mouth guard automatically. Just make sure that the LEDs light up when you place the GrindGuard back on the dock. If it does not, hold it down with your hands until the LEDs light up.
-
Can I stop wearing the Asesso GrindGuard after a few days?
Unfortunately, the damage to the temporomandibular joint is permanent. The Asesso GrindGuard helps prevent the grinding action or the propensity to grind. For best results, we recommend that you wear your mouthguard every night.
You can monitor your progress or improvements in sleep by using the Asesso Sensor to measure your grinding score or get advanced sleep analytics when you connect any one of the supported Fitness Trackers.
-
How should I clean my Asesso GrindGuard?
After every use, wash the GrindGuard with warm / mild hot temperature water. Feel free to use your toothbrush to clean the inside of the mouth guard. Once it is clean, dry the mouth guard thoroughly before putting it back in the Asesso Smart Dock.
-
I am getting a gag reflex. Is this normal?
We know that it can be a bit uncomfortable at first to wear the GrindGuard if you are not used to mouthguards. Allow 2-3 days to get used to wearing a mouthguard. You can also wear it for a short period on the first 2-3 nights and then slowly increase the time.
Patients typically start seeing positive results within one week of continuous use.
