Essex Splint is a clear dental appliance made from thin plastic that covers the entire set of teeth in one arch. The device is custom-made to fit snugly over the teeth and is designed to hold them in their corrected position after orthodontic treatment. The splint provides stability during the period when teeth and surrounding tissues are most likely to shift back to their original places.

The splint is valued for its transparent material, which makes it almost invisible when worn. This characteristic allows the appliance to provide dental support without affecting appearance. As the material is smooth and wire-free, the device is generally more comfortable to wear than traditional metal-based options. In addition to stabilization, the splint can also be fabricated with an artificial tooth to fill gaps, offering a cosmetic replacement until permanent dental work such as an implant or bridge is placed.

Essex Splint not only assists in maintaining dental alignment but also promotes confidence in everyday activities such as speaking and smiling. The removable design allows easy cleaning, which supports better oral hygiene compared to fixed appliances. The balance of comfort, discreet appearance, and versatility makes the Essex Splint a widely chosen option in modern dental care.

Essex Splint begins by consultation with the dentist at our affiliated clinic. During this first step, the dentist will examine the teeth, review dental history, and determine the suitability of the splint. An impression or digital scan of the teeth will then be taken to create a model that serves as the foundation for fabricating the splint.

The next stage involves the laboratory process for 5 to 14 days, where the clear plastic material is molded to fit accurately over the dental model. Once ready, the splint is returned to our affiliated clinic and fitted on the patient. The dentist at our affiliated clinic will check comfort, alignment, and bite to ensure the appliance functions properly. This fitting session usually takes about 30 to 45 minutes.

The benefits of this procedure include maintaining corrected tooth positions, providing an invisible appearance, and allowing removable use for easy cleaning. There is no surgical involvement and no recovery time, meaning the appliance can be worn immediately after fitting. Most patients return to normal activities right away without any downtime, making Essex Splint a convenient and effective option in dental care.
