Is It Safe To Use Mouth Guard?

I wear a mouth guard at night which causes me to produce a large amount of saliva throughout the night which I continuously swallow. I have had a queasy stomach and vomited foam a couple of times since I began using the guard. Could the saliva be causing the problem?

Hello
Welcome to HCM
Night gurad you are using is perfectly safe. Any artificial thing in mouth will increase salivation so dont worry it will not harm you. The vomiting which is happening is due to gagging. So dont stop using your mouth guard until your orthodontics stops it and do discuss your problem with him.
Thank you
