Stop Grinding. Start Sleeping.
Bruxism appliances are high-volume, functional devices. The challenge is not just the anatomy, but the Fit Parameters. A Night Guard designed for a Milling Machine (PMMA) requires different settings than one designed for a 3D Printer (KeySplint/NextDent).
Our Dental Splint Design Service tailors the Offset/Spacer and Block-out settings specifically to your manufacturing hardware, ensuring the appliance drops in with minimal chairside adjustment.
Technical Engineering Specs
We configure the design based on your clinical philosophy (CR vs. MIP) and material choice:
Occlusal Schemes
- Flat Plane: Even contacts on all posterior teeth, canine guidance in lateral excursion.
- Michigan Splint: Full coverage with precise ramp guidance.
- Anterior Deprogrammer: (e.g., Kois-style) For resetting the bite.
- Essix / Retainer: Simple retention appliances.
3D Print Optimization
- Offset Control: We adjust the internal gap (e.g., 0.1mm – 0.2mm) based on your printer’s accuracy to prevent “too tight” fits.
- Minimal Thickness: Maintained (1.5mm – 2.0mm) to prevent flexible resins from tearing.
- Smooth Surface: Minimized undercuts for easy insertion without locking.
Why Outsource Splints?
Splint design is tedious. Setting the articulation and smoothing the surface takes valuable time. By outsourcing to China Dental Designs, you turn your 3D printers into passive income machines. Just download our STL, nest, and print.
Submission Workflow
- Scan: Upper/Lower arches + Bite Registration (Open bite if possible, or we can open VDO virtually).
- Specify: Appliance Type (Upper/Lower) and Manufacturing Method (Print vs. Mill).
- Receive: Download the STL file by 8:00 AM EST.
Calibrate Your Fit
Send us a test case. Tell us your printer model (e.g., SprintRay, Asiga), and we will dial in the offset.
