Retention and Splints

In the field of dentistry, achieving optimal results often requires the use of specialized aids, such as retention and splints. These tools are crucial for maintaining the health and aesthetics of your teeth, as they help preserve the results achieved after various types of therapies.

Splints: protection and prevention

Splints are an important tool in a broad range of dental therapies. For instance, after placing cosmetic veneers, splints can be created to protect them from cracking during intense jaw movements or pressure.

Additionally, splints are beneficial for patients suffering from bruxism—a condition involving the clenching and grinding of teeth, often leading to tooth wear and issues with the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).

Sports splints are another example, providing teeth protection for athletes during physical activities, thereby preventing injuries to the teeth and oral cavity.

Retainers: preserving your smile

After orthodontic therapy, which may involve the use of fixed or mobile dental appliances, it is crucial to ensure that the results are maintained. Retainers are essential in this phase, as teeth naturally tend to revert to their original position. Using retainers keeps the teeth in their new, correct position, ensuring the durability of orthodontic results and the investment in a beautiful smile. Retainers can be fixed, typically placed on the inner side of the teeth, or removable, which can be worn at night.
