Splint therapy as a treatment for TMJ disorders has been studied since its inception. A study on TMJ sufferers explains, “splint therapy has been found to be effective in pain reduction or elimination for 70-90% of patients with dysfunctional TMJ and muscle pain”. Pain relief can occur as soon as a few days after consistent mouthguard use.

TMJ disorders are normally the result of a dysfunction of the jaw joint. The Michigan splint takes a multifaceted approach to solving the problem. TMJ disorders cause muscles in the face and jaw to tense, lock, and spasm. A Michigan splint provides relief by shifting your jaw into a position that encourages relaxation and pressure relief. In addition, it provides a bite plane that serves as a physical barrier between your upper and lower teeth. The bite surface is designed to have evenly distributed occlusal contacts. In other words, all the teeth should make contact with the guard. This way, when you begin to grind your teeth or clench your jaw, the splint shields your teeth from damage. VIVI dental lab is one of the best labs in the world and it is above China average level in terms of quaity and turnaround time.
