Splint Therapy
Splints - worn full time - that is 24 hours a day / 7 days a week. Once every few weeks the splint is checked and adjusted to follow the jaw joint "settling" into
its proper physiological position. The person wearing a full-time splint is most often doing so to treat a TMJ dysfunction problem that nighttime wear alone can not
take of. The end of therapy occurs when the patient achieves a jaw joint position that is stable and pain-free. The final step then is to alter the teeth to a correct
bite for the jaw joint so that the splint will be no longer necessary.
