Splints

3D-printed soft splints

A 3D-printed soft splint is a flexible appliance designed to protect teeth from grinding and clenching while providing superior comfort.

This makes 3D-printed soft splints ideal for patients seeking protection without the hardness of traditional splints, and are an effective option for patients who need a softer, more adaptable solution compared to rigid splints.

We use advanced 3D printing technology to custom create our 3D-printed soft splints to fit each patient precisely and provide long-term comfort. Our process ensures all our splints are reliable and consistent in quality.

Comfortable flexibility

The soft material adapts to the natural movement of the jaw. This flexibility reduces pressure on teeth and gums, making the splint more comfortable to wear. The gentle fit makes it easier for patients to keep the splint in place, especially during sleep.

Durable protection

Though soft, these splints are strong enough to endure the pressures of bruxism. The materials used offer durability that lasts to give patients ongoing protection without the need for frequent replacements. This balance of flexibility and strength ensures long-lasting effectiveness.

Patient-friendly design

The soft texture and custom fit make these splints comfortable enough for everyday use. Patients are more likely to wear them consistently, leading to better patient outcomes. The design ensures that wearing the splint becomes a natural part of the patient’s routine.

Precision design

3D printing allows for exact specifications in every soft splint. Each splint is digitally designed to fit perfectly, eliminating the need for multiple adjustments. The accuracy of the process ensures consistency in fit and quality for every patient.

Reliable turnaround

Our process ensures each 3D-printed soft splint is delivered within a dependable timeframe. This reliability helps reduce delays and ensures that patients receive their treatment without unnecessary waiting.

Innovative 3D-printed soft splints

In today’s dental landscape, innovation is key to providing patient satisfaction and ensuring optimal oral health outcomes. At Avant Dental, our 3D-printed soft splints combine the latest in digital dentistry with patient-centric design, utilising an intraoral scanner to capture precise digital impressions. The digital impression is crucial for creating accurate CAD models that fit comfortably and serve as the starting point for 3D printing workflows. By utilising cutting-edge 3D printing techniques, we ensure our soft splints are tailored specifically to each patient’s unique oral structure, allowing for a precise fit that enhances both comfort and protection of the patient's teeth. Avant Dental can also offer soft splints with the traditional physical impressions if that is the preference of the dental practice.

Seamless integration into digital dentistry practices

For dental professionals, incorporating 3D-printed soft splints into treatment plans within a dental practice is a streamlined process. The design process plays a crucial role in reducing chair side time by enabling precise adjustments and customisation. The precision of digital design, starting with intraoral scanning, improves the predictability of the outcome, allowing dentists to focus more on patient care and less on adjustments or remakes. This advanced technology ensures minimal manual intervention, helping to reduce overall practice workload while enhancing patient experience.
