Do I Need Dental Splinting For My Teeth?

Have you recently experienced your teeth mobility?

Have you recently experienced your braces removal due to finished orthodontic treatment period?

Have you recently experienced your jawbone injury?

Have you recently experienced your front tooth breakage or planning your front tooth removal?

Having teeth mobility can be caused by gum diseases accompanied by bone loss. This situation occurs when teeth are staying unfixed in jawbone due to some common diseases of a human body. Cases like that can be fixed by using dental glass fiber splint tape, which should be placed to the inner (for front group) or upper (for grinding teeth) surface of your teeth. The tape is invisible and can help you to keep your teeth in place while your jawbone undergoes the treatment. Such condition should be treated as soon as determined. Please visit your dentist immediately for further examination and treatment.

It seems you may need to secure your teeth row with an orthodontic wire (retainer) since your brace treatment period is finished. Such method is used to keep your teeth in their new places until the bone structure becomes strong. The wire should be placed to the back surface of your front teeth including premolars with the liquid light-cure composite material. This can help you to fix the result and get a satisfying smile. Contact your dentist for more information and treatment.

Having an oral area injury of any nature is a serious state which should be treated immediately. You may need a titanium splint to keep your teeth in place and your jawbone static as much as possible. This is a healing method to help your bone structure recover. A splint is placed with composite resin to match your dentition and the arch form. Be ready for some short-term inconveniences such as a speech impairment, oral hygiene difficulties and unusual feelings. All this is temporary and finishes as soon as you get used to it. The whole treatment period duration depends on the trauma severity and the recovery dynamics. Schedule a visit to your dentist immediately to get the splint fixed.

It seems you may need dental splinting due to your front teeth area damage. If you faced your front tooth breakage it can be temporary fixed with composite resin splint until you get your dental crown or veneer placed. In case of a front tooth removal, the solution is also temporary due to aesthetics. Since you cannot stay without your front tooth it can be fixed to your neighboring teeth with glass fiber tape immediately after removal. Be careful because such structure is quite fragile and you should slightly bite your food. This can help you to hide the defect and keep the place until dental implant or ceramic bridge is placed. Contact your dentist for more information and further treatment.

Based on your answers, it is difficult to determine whether you need dental splint or not and find a suitable solution. Please, consult your dentist for more information.
