Repeat crown fractures and veneer chips are frequently a force problem, not a materials problem. Airway risk and sleep-disordered breathing can increase nighttime clenching, undermining restorative longevity.
A shifting smile, repeated chips, and crowns that don’t last often trace back to what happens during sleep. This narrative explains how airway strain can drive clenching—and how airway-aware screening changes restorative outcomes.
If your restorations keep failing early, the cause often starts at night. Learn how airway restriction drives clenching forces and why airway screening changes restorative longevity.
