How to Make a Bruxism Splint with an Intraoral Scanner

To obtain a bruxism splint with a perfect fit and avoid unnecessary chairside adjustments, it is essential to follow a precise digital protocol from the intraoral scan.

The goal is for the splint to adapt from the first moment, ensuring patient comfort and clinical efficiency.

1. Scan the upper arch (where the splint will be placed)

2. Scan the lower arch (antagonist)

3. Scan the bite in occlusion to record the intermaxillary relationship

You can also scan the occlusion with a digital vertical dimension, which makes it possible to define the ideal splint thickness precisely, especially useful in complex cases or rehabilitations. Learn How to Perform an Intraoral Scan for the 3D Occlusal Splint: Splint Brux

Why choose Splint Brux® for your bruxism splint cases?

More control over the design, better clinical outcomes

With our digital protocol, you can fully customize the bruxism splint design according to the patient’s clinical needs.

3D printing technology allows modifications without creating a new scan, resulting in predictable outcomes from the first use:

  • Greater control of the final fit
  • More flexibility during the process
  • Less laboratory waiting time

Design adapted to each patient

We offer multiple configurations that adapt to different types of bruxism and anatomies:

Available design types:

  • Surface with canine and incisal guidance
  • Surface with canine guidance
  • Flat occlusal splint, without guidance

Available finishes:

  • Straight buccal contour and over the gingiva on the lingual side
  • Anterior and posterior scalloping for better retention
  • Combination of straight and scalloped, according to indication

This level of customization allows you to manage cases with retentive arches, reduced stability or patients with high functional demand.

Splint Brux® adapts to the way you work, allowing you to offer a more precise, efficient treatment with better patient perception.

Your patients notice it from day one

A bruxism splint is only effective if it adapts from the first moment. With Splint Brux®, the personalized digital design and controlled manufacturing process allow a precise intraoral fit, with no need for unnecessary chairside adjustments.

This translates into a more efficient experience for you, and a more comfortable and satisfying one for the patient.

3D printed model to validate and explain the treatment

In every case, we print a personalized 3D model of the patient that is delivered together with the splint. This allows you to:

  • Check the clinical fit in advance
  • Visualize contact points
  • Show the patient their own structure and explain the treatment clearly

The 3D model not only reinforces your clinical control, it also increases the perceived value of the treatment and the patient’s confidence in the process.
