Jaw Stabilization Splint

A Jaw Stabilization Splint is a dental device designed to keep the patient’s jaw in a stable position. It is commonly used after orthodontic treatment, implant placement, or when patients experience issues such as bite misalignment or teeth grinding during sleep. This splint is typically made from clear plastic and is custom-fitted to the patient’s dental arch, ensuring comfort during use.

Functions of the Jaw Stabilization Splint:

  • Maintaining Orthodontic Treatment Results: After braces removal, the jaw stabilization splint helps keep the teeth in their new positions, preventing them from shifting back to their original positions.

  • Supporting Bite Disorder Treatment: The splint helps reduce pressure on the jaw joint, preventing and supporting the treatment of issues such as jaw pain and inflammation.

  • Preventing Teeth Grinding: For patients who grind their teeth during sleep, the splint protects the teeth from damage and reduces stress on the jaw muscles.

Procedure:

The dentist will take impressions of the patient’s mouth or use 3D scanning technology to create a model for the splint. The jaw stabilization splint will then be custom-made for each patient to ensure a perfect fit and comfort. The patient will receive instructions on how to use and care for the splint to achieve maximum effectiveness and extend its lifespan.

The jaw stabilization splint is an effective solution to maintain oral health and ensure long-term treatment results.
