Wearing and caring for your Michigan Splint Appliance

It is prescribed for patients suffering from tooth grinding or jaw clenching. This splint is tailor-made and customised to each individual’s exact requirements. The splint is made from hard acrylic and fits normally over the upper teeth biting surface. As well as protecting the teeth from tooth wear and damage, it can help patients to minimise teeth clenching and grinding. In addition to these benefits, it can also protect teeth that have crowns or large fillings present from fracture. You will need a dedicated fitting and adjusting session with one of our clinicians.
