Bruxguard Occlusal Splints

Extremely Hard - Yet Slightly Flexible
The Bruxguard material is a clear thermoplastic-acrylic hybrid that feels just like a conventional hard processed acrylic, but without the usual uncomfortable feel associated with the hard appliances. Just prior to delivery, place the splint into a bowl of hot tap water for a few minutes. Remove and seat. The material "softens" just enough to allow for easy insertion and a comfortable fit, yet doesn't get soft enough to distort against the opposing occlusion.

Highly Accurate
Our Bruxguard splints are hand crafted from start to finish by a small team of technicians to ensure consistent, predictable results. All cases are surveyed for optimal retention, and fabricated on semifixed articulators for occlusal accuracy.

Fast Seating Time
Because of the accuracy of the thermoplastic material, seating time is generally less than 15 minutes.
