A dental splint is an oral appliance that is worn while you sleep. A dental splint is also known as a dental orthotic, occlusal splint, dental appliance, night guard, bite plate or mouthguard. These broadly refer to the same device.

There are a number of types of splints that are customised based on your specific circumstances. Each of these appliances, are custom fitted to your mouth. It does not impinge on your tongue. You can open and close your mouth normally as these splints do not lock or fix your jaws together. The appliances should be comfortable and generally take a few nights to get used to.
