FAQ
What is an occlusal splint used for?
It helps manage teeth grinding, jaw clenching, and TMJ-related discomfort by protecting the teeth and promoting muscle relaxation.
Is the splint worn during the day or night?
Most patients wear it at night, but this depends on your condition. We’ll advise the best plan during your consultation.
How long will it take to get my splint?
Thanks to CAD/CAM technology, your splint can often be ready within a few days after your digital scan.
What does it feel like to wear a splint?
Most patients describe it as smooth and comfortable. After a short adjustment period, it becomes a natural part of their nightly routine.
How do I clean my splint?
Rinse with cool water and gently brush it using a soft toothbrush—avoid hot water or harsh chemicals.
How long does a CAD/CAM splint last?
With proper care, it can last several years—much longer than traditional splints.
Can it help with headaches or facial pain?
Yes, by reducing muscle tension and bite imbalance, splints can alleviate headaches and jaw-related discomfort.
Is it covered by private health insurance?
Many health funds offer partial coverage. We’ll help you check your entitlements.
