What Are Splints and Nightguards?

Splints and nightguards are custom-fitted oral appliances designed to protect teeth, relax jaw muscles, and treat conditions like bruxism (teeth grinding) and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.

They provide:

Unlike over-the-counter or one-size-fits-all options, custom splints and nightguards are precisely designed to fit each patient’s bite, providing superior comfort, durability, and effective protection for long-term oral health.

Benefits of Splints and Nightguards

Tooth Protection

Custom nightguards create a protective barrier that prevents enamel wear, chipping, and fractures caused by nighttime grinding.

TMJ Pain Relief

Properly fitted occlusal splints reduce stress on the temporomandibular joint, alleviating jaw pain, headaches, and muscle tension.

Precision Fit

Fabricated from digital scans or traditional impressions, our appliances offer superior fit, function, and patient comfort.

Long-Lasting Durability

Made from high-quality materials, our splints and nightguards are engineered to withstand the forces of bruxism over time.

Frequently Asked Questions About Splints and Nightguards

At Dentek Dental Laboratory, we provide a wide range of dental-related restorations and support, including:

What is the difference between a splint and a nightguard?

Nightguards primarily protect teeth from the effects of grinding and clenching during sleep. Splints, such as stabilization or TMJ splints, are more therapeutic and are designed to reposition the jaw, reduce joint loading, and address bite-related disorders.

How long does it take to fabricate a custom splint or nightguard?

A custom splint or nightguard usually takes about 1–2 weeks, though some clinics can make it in a few days or even the same day.

Can I submit cases digitally?

Yes, many dental clinics allow you to submit cases digitally using intraoral scans instead of traditional impressions.

How long do custom nightguards and splints last?

Custom nightguards and splints typically last 1–5 years, depending on use, material, and how well you care for them
