The Comfort3D™ Bite Splint is a custom occlusal appliance that is fabricated using computer-aided design (CAD) technology and 3D printing, providing for a more precise fit than bite splints produced with traditional laboratory techniques. The addition of the Comfort3D Bite Splint to the Glidewell family of occlusal appliances offers clinicians a reliable, cost-effective solution that helps prevent damage caused by bruxing and clenching. The new bite splint is particularly useful in protecting veneers, crowns & bridges, and implant restorations from these damaging forces.

Offering the Comfort3D Bite Splint not only helps to protect the dentition of patients from the forces of parafunctional habits, but it also serves as a great way for clinicians to continue building their practices. Patients will appreciate the care their dentist shows by helping them protect their new restorations. The appliance comes in a clear color and covers the full occlusal plane. It provides durability, bonds with acrylic and consists of a single-layered 2 mm material that is hard yet flexible. Its 3D-printed fabrication ensures that all excess material is stripped away, resulting in a more accurate appliance with additional tongue space for patient comfort.

While there are many occlusal appliances available, the 3D-printing fabrication process of the Comfort3D Bite Splint offers clinicians the accuracy that they need to preserve existing dentition, protect dental restorations, ensure optimum comfort and retention, and grow their practice — all for an affordable price.

List price: $69* for one appliance, $117* for the Glidewell Clinical Twinpak™ (includes two appliances for the same arch).
