Which patients are ideal candidates for the CLEARsplint™, and what should I consider?
The CLEARsplint™ is a versatile appliance, but certain patient profiles benefit most from its specific properties.
| Patient profile | Why the CLEARsplint™ fits |
|---|---|
| Severe bruxers | The stronger modified composite formulation is built for maximum durability |
| Patients with material sensitivities | Amine-free and MMA-free chemistry suits patients allergic to acrylics or metals |
| Image-conscious or daytime wearers | Optically clear and virtually unnoticeable, with comfortable speech and minimal saliva stimulation |
| Patients needing repositioning | The appliance can incorporate ramps and guide planes for mandibular repositioning |
| Patients who want appliance longevity | Designed for enhanced longevity versus traditional nightguards, and engineered to resist yellowing |
Considerations to keep in mind:
- The appliance is effective for both day and night bruxism management, so confirm with the patient when and how often they will wear it.
- The material is heat-responsive by design, so include warm-water-only handling guidance and caution patients against high-heat exposure.
- If the treatment plan involves a specific therapeutic mandibular position, document the ramps or guide planes clearly in the prescription so the lab can build them to plan.
- For unusual occlusal schemes or complex cases, ROE's certified technicians can provide case planning support; reach out through Customer Service or Chairside Support.
