Using the most advanced materials, we can ensure the fit, comfort, and longevity of the appliances we custom fabricate. Replacing hard acrylics, which shrink during polymerization and cause poor fit, with Pressure Molded Technology (PMT) materials covered with composite resin, we create appliances that not only fit better, but are also more biocompatible than traditional methylmathacrylates. We can also fabricate appliances from thermoplastic materials, which soften under warm water or in the oral environment. This will help to diffuse the occlusal forces and act as a type of shock absorber. We can fabricate the appliance out of Thermoplastic material or have the thermoplastic material inside the appliance with a hard acrylic occlusal surface.  This may help to relieve some of the stress or pressure patients experience with hard materials. And to satisfy their esthetic demands, the appliances, are available in a variety of colours.

There is nothing standard about today’s “standard flat plane splints”. Their designs can be modified in a great number of ways. These appliances were originally designed as a full coverage appliance with a flat occlusal table, occluding with every tooth in the opposing arch. Now, through correct material selection, the design can be altered to enhance the patient experience. Appliances can be fabricated with or without anterior tooth coverage, increasing air flow and making it easier for the patient to breathe and communicate. This also eliminates the tightness and discomfort caused by lingually directed forces placed on the anterior teeth by appliances. For additional strength, lingual braided bars or mesh can be incorporated into the splints. The design can be altered to add anterior and/or cuspid guidance and the posterior occlusion can be left smooth or incorporate guiding grooves.

What really sets us apart is how we mount your models. Most labs quickly mount models on standard hinge articulators and guess at the amount of verticle opening. Using this technique usually leads to an appliance where the occlusion is very heavy in the posterior areas and open in the anterior. This forces the dentist to waste time grinding in the bite, leaving the distal areas thin and compromised.

We choose to do things differently. We mount your models on special articulators that allow us to take into consideration the translation and rotation of the mandible, thus reducing the amount of chair time it takes to calibrate the occlusion of one of our appliances.

Our Thermoplastics are now available in a variety of colours, designed to be as individual as your patients are.

We are proud to be able to offer our clients a variety of options when it comes to splint therapy, and now all our Thermoplastic Splints can be tinted in 8 additional colours to complement our original crystal clear shade.
