Should I be concerned about squeaking noise caused by dental crowns? (photo)

Summerlovin159Jul 30, 2023
I have approx 20 porcelain dental crowns that were placed a couple years ago in the front of my mouth that “squeak” sometimes when stretching my mouth/ lips. I wear a night guard at night and take good care of them. It’s almost like they are close together and rub against each other due to pressure maybe.
