The Michigan/Tanner Splint was developed with the object of treating dysfunction of the TMJ muscle and to control bruxism. The hard splint is constructed on the maxillary or mandibular arch to achieve balanced contacts with all opposing teeth and incisal anterior teeth edges. The design incorporates anterior function with immediate disclussion and guidance.
At Dental Design Studio, we have developed a process of manufacture that is extremely robust and virtually eliminates the need for metal clasping in most cases.
