occlusal splints
At ROE we offer numerous TMJ, Bruxism, and Orthotic
appliances using a variety of materials and occlusal designs.
Many of our clients have specific preferences for the fabrication
of the appliance. However, if no specific instructions are
provided bruxism splints will be flat planed with point cusp
contact and 3mm of labial coverage. TMJ appliances are fabricated
with posterior cusp contact, 3mm of labial coverage and cuspid
disclusion.
We fabricate appliances with four different materials
(refer to the comparison chart below). More than half
of the splints we produce include our “adjustment free” Thermaflex
thermoplastic lining. A splint which includes Thermaflex is
the most advanced interocclusal appliance available. A Thermaflex
splint consists of a hard methyl-methacrylate occlusal surface
and a patented, elastomeric acrylic in all other areas. Thermaflex
thermoplastic significantly improves the comfort, accuracy
and retention of splints, nightguards and TMJ appliances.
Seat splints quickly without adjustments
with Thermoflex soft elastomeric lining, available on all splint applicances.

From bruxism splints to anatomical neuromuscular
orthotics, our highly trained and experience technicians have created a
reputation of fabricating exceptional orthotic appliances for all situations.
All splints and orthotics are fabricated
on duplicate models for pre-fit verification, minimizing chairside adjustment.
Master models are returned with the finished case.
From Denar Combi to Acculiner to Stratos
200, we can accommodate your articulator of choice.
