Frequently Asked Question
1. What is the difference between a soft and hard occlusal splint?
A soft splint is made from a flexible material and is recommended for mild clenching or stress-related jaw tension. A hard splint is made from rigid acrylic, ideal for moderate to severe bruxism cases where stronger protection is needed.
2. Which mouthguard should I choose for sports protection?
Our Professional Mouthguards provide maximum protection for high-impact sports, and we offer custom colors and labels for personalization.
3. Can you make a mouthguard for a patient with braces?
Yes! Our custom-fitted sports mouthguards can be designed to accommodate orthodontic appliances for superior protection.
4. How long does it take to get an occlusal splint or mouthguard?
Most splints and mouthguards are completed within 8 in-lab days.
5. How do I clean and maintain my occlusal splint or mouthguard?
- Rinse with lukewarm water after each use.
- Brush gently with a soft toothbrush and mild soap (avoid toothpaste).
- Store in a ventilated case to prevent bacterial buildup.
- Avoid hot water or excessive heat, as it may warp the appliance.
6. How long do occlusal splints and mouthguards last?
- Occlusal splints: Typically last 1-3 years, depending on wear and grinding intensity.
- Mouthguards: Should be replaced annually or sooner if signs of wear or damage appear.
7. Are sports mouthguards different from occlusal splints?
Yes! Sports mouthguards are thicker and designed to absorb impact during physical activity, while occlusal splints are thinner and used to protect against grinding and TMJ issues during sleep.
