Nextsum Splint & Guard Workflow
1. Assessment & Digital Scanning
Evaluate patient needs (e.g., bruxism, TMJ, sleep apnea) and capture 3D scans using intraoral scanners (iTero, 3Shape) for precise customization.
2. Design & Treatment Planning
Import scans into CAD software for detailed design, select the appropriate material (hard, soft, hybrid), and have the dentist approve the treatment plan.
3. Fabrication with CAM Technology
Use 3D printing or CNC milling to fabricate the appliance with durable materials, ensuring a perfect fit based on the patient’s dental anatomy.
4. Fitting, Adjustments & Monitoring
Conduct initial fitting and make necessary adjustments. Follow-up with digital monitoring and refine the appliance based on patient feedback for optimal comfort and effectiveness.

Tension Suppression Splint, a front-teeth splint specifically designed to prevent clenching and grinding, often used to treat TMJ disorders and reduce tension headaches.
Anterior Deprogrammer
A dental appliance worn on the front teeth to relax jaw muscles and prevent full tooth contact, helping to reduce bruxism effects.
TMJ Splint
A specialized splint designed to manage TMJ disorders by repositioning the jaw and alleviating symptoms such as pain, headaches, and limited jaw movement.
Guard Your Smile, Sleep Tight!
A night guard is important for several reasons, especially for people who suffer from bruxism (teeth grinding) or TMJ disorders (temporomandibular joint disorders). Here’s why they’re essential
Prevents Tooth Damage
Teeth grinding or clenching, often occurring during sleep, can cause significant damage to tooth enamel, leading to worn-down teeth, chips, cracks, and sensitivity. A night guard acts as a protective barrier to prevent this.Reduces Jaw Pain and Tension
Constant grinding or clenching can strain the jaw muscles and lead to discomfort or pain, especially in the morning. Night guards help reduce this pressure, easing jaw pain and minimizing discomfort caused by TMJ disorders.Minimizes Headaches
Bruxism is often linked to tension headaches and migraines. By cushioning the teeth and relaxing the jaw muscles, a night guard can reduce the frequency and severity of these headaches.Prevents Teeth Alignment Issues
Long-term grinding or clenching can lead to misalignment of the teeth, causing bite problems or even more severe orthodontic issues. Night guards help keep teeth in their proper position and prevent unnecessary shifting.Improves Sleep Quality
By reducing the physical discomfort associated with grinding and clenching, night guards can help improve overall sleep quality, allowing for more restful and uninterrupted sleep.
