I had 1 cavity in my decades and I had really awful habits. All of my teeth were sealed in youth.

I too have bruxism that is wearing down some molars severely. My grandfather wore his teeth down to about nothing.

My dentist suggested I get Invisalign for tooth crowding, veneers for small canines, and a mouth guard I can't tolerate at present). If had a workable mouth guard, I would do this lozenge thing. I feel sensation in my teeth and gums constantly.

I never did whitening because I always thought the risks were too great.

My concern with Invisalign is you have to wear a nighttime retainer for life. I had a bad experience with stuff in my mouth at night, which made bruxism worse when it was supposed to be better. When my brain feels something in the mouth on the teeth, it induces the jaw to bite more when I'm sleeping.
