Claims29
A dental device comprising:
- a curved portion;
- first and second back portions connected to the curved portion;
- and
- at least three projections extending from each of the first and second back portions, wherein each of the projections defines a centerline, wherein the centerline of one of the at least three projections extending from each of the first and second back portions is non-coplanar with a plane extending through the centerlines of others of the at least three projections extending from each of the first and second back portions.
A method of minimizing tooth abrasion comprising:
- inserting a dental device into a mouth, wherein the dental device comprises:
- a curved portion;
- first and second back portions connected to the curved portion;
- and
- at least three projections extending from each of the first and second back portions, wherein each of the projections defines a centerline, wherein the centerline of one of the at least three projections extending from each of the first and second back portions is non-coplanar with a plane extending through the centerlines of others of the at least three projections extending from each of the first and second back portions;
