You absolutely know that you need to stop biting your lips. You hate how your lips constantly have sores on them, which are painful and make you self-conscious. (Not to mention that open wounds on your lips and your regular morning cup of hot coffee just don’t mix.) How can you finally kick this annoying lip biting habit?

Your dentist may have a solution. He or she can actually fit you with a special oral appliance that makes it impossible for you to bit your lip. One such appliance is call the Lip Biting Inhibitor. It attaches a plastic guard over the front of your upper or lower teeth, which makes it impossible for you to pull your lip back between your teeth and start chewing.

It may feel embarrassing to wear this device, but the key is that it will help you break the unconscious nature of the lip biting habit and allow you to express your nervous energy in a better way, like maybe morning walks?
