Teeth shifting
Sir/Madam
I was prescribed to use upper night guard. After wearing the night guard for 2 nights, I feel that my upper teeth no. 24 is not properly aligning with the lower teeth. Is it possible that the teeth shifts only after 2 nights usage of night guard in case the fitment is not proper
Thanks in advance.

Night guard is prescribed by dentist to prevent the tooth attrition caused by bruxism(tooth grinding).
It will not move the tooth,it will protect the tooth by abnormal habits.
You should visit dentist ask about this and repeat the clinical examination wearing night guard.
In case of occlusal discrepancy,dentist will correct it.
Next Steps

If it's fitting property to your teeth then it's made accurately with no fault and it cannot misalign your teeth if it's made accurately but if it's not made precisely and with errors causing fitting problem and you somehow wear it , then it can cause misalignment or feeling of misalignment.
