Splints and De-Programmers for TMJ + Muscle Relaxing

When Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) relationships do not coincide with dental occlusion or teeth occlude abnormally, muscles may become tender and other symptoms such as headaches, sinus pain, clicking jaw joints, and chronic neck and shoulder pain can occur.
TMJ problems, when left untreated, lead to osteoarthritis, osteoarthrosis, and degenerative joint disease.
Over the years, our splint team at Castle Ceramics has seen many changes in the design of appliances to treat TMJ. Our expertise is reflected in the broad range of appliances that we provide at Castle Ceramics.
Please allow 3 working days for fabrication.
When unmounted models are received, we will mount them on a Denar Articulator. We have Kavo and Amann / Girrbach - Artex articulators available. Feel free to call Ian Taylor to organize any priority cases.

Mouthguards

Each mouth guard is constructed differently by pressure lamination, this is far superior to the vacuum form process as it produces a mouth guard of an even thickness and eliminates any thin areas at the incisal area. Tests have shown a mouthguard made by pressure laminating two layers together is 40% more energy absorent than one constructed from only one layer of equivalent thickness. As every mouth guard is taylor made to your requirements, we can colour them ( even stripes ) to match your team colours, school kit.... etc, see below for our range of colours. A mouthguard is an essential piece of equipment in any contact sport. It provides protection, not only from direct contact, but prevents injuries from the lower jaw impacting the top. Custom made mouthguards are made by taking an impression of the user's mouth and forming a mouthguard blank around the resulting model. The mouthguard is then trimmed for aesthetic appeal and comfort. We offer several mouthguards types depending on your sporting activity.

Budget Mouthguard

These are suitable for sports players who may encounter a hard weapon or hard ball going at speed. The Heavy-Pro mouthguard contains a high impact protective shield to deflect the destructive energy.
