How do SPLINTS treat TMJ pain?
It is the main and most crucial treatment tool for many TMJ problems.
A splint is a removable dental appliance that covers several or all of the upper or lower teeth. Constructed in a dental lab, splints are typically made of hard acrylic resin and molded from an impression of your teeth. After the splint is made, the dentist will fit and readjust it.
Splints can treat temporomandibular issues, stabilize the bite, or protect the teeth from damage and wear. The treatment aims to restore jaw-muscle function and decrease related pain by establishing a balanced bite.
