An occlusal splint is a custom made appliance using computer technology, to fit over the surfaces of the upper teeth, to relieve abnormal pressures on the jaw joint (temporomandibular joint or TMJ), its supporting structures and the jaw muscles, as often seen in temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD), a condition that results in pain in the jaw muscles, jaw joint sounds, headaches, premature wear of teeth and cracks, failure of restorations, and loss of teeth.
