Removable Splint

What is a Removable Splint?

Removable splints are devices that are used by children with mixed dentition (mouth contains both milk and permanent teeth). These appliances are designed in a way that children can easily insert and remove them at any time.

When is Removable Splint applied?

Removable splint is applied in the following cases:

• Chewing and speech dysfunction
• Crowded and displaced teeth
• Limited tooth movements during cross-bite correction
• Widening of dental arch if there is jaw stenosis
• Tongue thrusting, thumbsucking, wrong swallowing

Using removable splints in the early periods, skeletal problems due to faulty habits can be prevented or can reduced the severity of the current problem and prepare for orthodontic treatments.
