Repositioning Splint (Enhance Oral Stability And Relieve Jaw Strain)

· Those in Krakow looking for relief jaw pain and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
· Those with clicking, popping, or grinding sounds in the jaw joint.
· Those with jaw locking or stiffness that makes movement uncomfortable.
· Those who want to improve comfort while chewing or speaking.
· Those who wish to correct jaw posture.

Repositioning Splint is a custom-made oral appliance created by the dentist at our affiliated clinic using hard acrylic resin. The device is designed to adjust the position of the lower jaw so that the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can function in a more stable and less painful way. The splint helps to reduce stress within the joint and encourage the disc to return to a more favorable alignment. This adjustment provides an opportunity for the jaw joint and surrounding muscles to rest in a healthier posture.

The primary purpose of Repositioning Splint is to ease discomfort caused by TMJ disorders such as clicking, popping, joint tenderness, or restricted movement. When the jaw is repositioned properly, strain on the muscles of the face, neck, and head is reduced. Many patients notice relief from related symptoms such as headaches, earaches, or stiffness that interfere with daily activities. The splint also helps to prevent further aggravation of the joint by limiting harmful movements and reducing uneven bite pressure.

Another important benefit of Repositioning Splint is the non-invasive nature of the treatment. It offers a reversible approach that can be used before considering surgical options. The appliance can improve chewing comfort, enhance jaw function, and decrease muscle tension without the need for permanent alterations at the start of care. Although long-term stability may vary, the splint remains a valuable method for short-term relief and management of TMJ dysfunction under the guidance of the dentist.

Repositioning Splint begins by consultation with the dentist at our affiliated clinic. The first appointment usually takes around 30 to 60 minutes. During this time, the dentist examines the temporomandibular joint, observes jaw movement, and records the bite. Any symptoms such as clicking, popping, or pain are carefully noted to determine whether the splint will be effective. This evaluation is essential for planning the correct therapeutic position of the lower jaw.

After consultation, dental impressions and bite registration are taken so that the splint can be designed accurately. These records are sent to a dental laboratory for fabrication, which generally requires about 5 to 14 days.

Once the splint has been made, a fitting appointment is arranged. This session normally lasts around 20 to 40 minutes. The dentist places the splint, checks comfort, and adjusts the device to ensure the jaw is guided into the intended position. Follow-up visits are then scheduled allowing the dentist to monitor progress and make further refinements if necessary.

The benefits of this treatment include a reduction in jaw pain, relief from tension headaches, smoother chewing function, and improved joint stability. Since it is non-invasive, there is no downtime, and daily routines can continue immediately after each appointment. Some mild adjustment in the first few days is common, but the splint quickly begins to provide effective relief.
