Nylon Splint Explained
What Is a Nylon Splint?
Unlike conventional materials, nylon allows for an exceptionally thin design while maintaining high strength and flexibility. This enables improved patient comfort, easier adaptation, and reliable long-term protection against the forces generated by bruxism and clenching.
With a posterior thickness as thin as 0.5 mm, nylon splints maximize tongue space and reduce bulk in the oral cavity, enhancing wearability and patient compliance.
The Rationale
Why Use Nylon Splints
in Your Practice?
Nylon splints provide dentists with a reliable treatment solution that combines advanced material science with digital manufacturing. The result is a durable, comfortable appliance that supports effective bruxism management while improving the patient experience.
These appliances are designed to withstand the intense pressure generated by grinding and clenching while remaining comfortable enough for nightly wear.
Clinical Advantages
Benefits for Your Practice
Ultra-Thin Design
With a posterior thickness as low as 0.5 mm, nylon splints are significantly thinner than traditional acrylic appliances, reducing bulk and increasing patient comfort.
Exceptional Durability
Medical-grade nylon offers high tensile strength and resistance to cracking, wear, and breakage, ensuring reliable long-term use even under heavy occlusal forces.
Improved Patient Comfort
The lightweight and flexible material allows patients to speak, drink water, and move their jaw more naturally compared to rigid appliances.
Hygienic and Biocompatible
The material is hypoallergenic and BPA-free, making it suitable for a wide range of patients and reducing the risk of irritation or sensitivity.
Custom Digital Manufacturing
Each splint is digitally designed and manufactured for precise fit and reproducibility, ensuring consistent clinical outcomes.
The Protective Solution
A custom-fitted splint acts as a protective shield between your teeth. By absorbing the intense pressure of clenching and grinding, it safeguards your natural smile and prevents costly dental repairs before they begin.
A Better Experience for Your Patients
Patients benefit from an appliance that is
- Lightweight and comfortable to wear
- Custom-fit for their unique dentition
- Durable enough for long-term nightly use
- Designed to reduce bulk and maximize tongue space
By improving comfort and wearability, nylon splints help increase patient compliance and treatment success.
Indications
Nylon splints are designed to support dentists in managing a variety of clinical situations, including
- Bruxism and teeth grinding
- Night-time clenching
- Occlusal stabilization
- Protection of restorations such as crowns, veneers, and implants
- Management of occlusal forces
These appliances act as a protective barrier between the upper and lower teeth, absorbing pressure and preventing further structural damage.
Patented Finishing Technique
Smooth and Polished Surface
Vapor polishing is a specialized technique used to improve the surface finish of 3D-printed objects. We have developed a unique vapor polishing formula in which the nylon object is placed in a chamber filled with biocompatible solvent vapors, which gently softens the outer layer of the material. This softening allows for the smoothing of any surface imperfections, resulting in a glossy, polished appearance.

Improved Comfort
Our nylon devices are fabricated using advanced 3D printing technology, resulting in a posterior thickness as thin as 0.5 mm. This design is less bulky and maximizes tongue space compared to acrylic options, helping patients adjust quickly and comfortably.
High Durability
Medical-grade nylon is tough and resistant to cracking, wear, and breakage, unlike traditional acrylic, which can be brittle. With high tensile strength ( ≥ 47 MPa) and modulus ( ≥ 1650 MPa), these devices can handle daily use and the stress from clenching and grinding teeth.
Fast Laboratory Turnaround
Appliances are produced with an in-lab turnaround time of approximately 5 days (excluding shipping), supporting efficient workflows for dental practices.
Lightweight and Ultra-Thin Design
The laser-sintered nylon construction allows for an exceptionally thin appliance design with a posterior thickness as thin as 0.5 mm. This reduces bulk compared to traditional acrylic appliances and maximizes tongue space, contributing to improved comfort and easier adaptation.
Flexible and Comfortable Fit
The lightweight nylon material provides a snug yet flexible fit. This flexibility allows natural jaw movement and helps improve overall appliance acceptance during nightly wear.
Custom-Made for Precision
Each appliance is custom manufactured to ensure an accurate fit and optimal function. This allows clinicians to provide a tailored solution that meets individual patient needs and improves treatment acceptance.
