The Damon Splint

The Damon Splint is generally utilised to reinforce Class II and Class III correction, as well as lateral tongue thrusting and cross-bite treatment. The appliance consists of two Essix slip covers bonded together from the back molar to the middle of the upper cuspid tip, to retain the teeth and arches in the corrected position. The Damon Splint is manufactured from durable, aesthetically-pleasing materials.

The Damon Splint holds teeth and arches in a fully corrected relationship, reinforcing all the elements of correction. The splint may be used for adult and mixed dentitions following Phase I functional treatment. A minimal vertical opening from the posterior to the anterior accommodates the airway slot.

The splint is available in three materials: hard pressure-formed, dual hardness/soft liner, and elastic silicone.

Models of the patients teeth will need to be taken and sent to the lab for this appliance.
