Instructions for Using a Myorelaxation Splint (Night Guard)

How to Wear the Splint

– Wear time is determined by your doctor.
– If prescribed for full-day use, remove only for oral hygiene. Avoid any contact between your teeth during this time.
– You should attend regular follow-up appointments.
– It may take 5–7 days to get used to the splint.

Normal Sensations

– Increased salivation.
– Changes in speech.
– Mild nausea (rare).
– Temporary discomfort in the muscles or joint during the first few days.

How to Reduce Discomfort

– To improve speech, talk more or read aloud.
– If you feel pain, stop using the splint and consult your doctor.

How to Clean the Splint

– Clean twice daily (morning and evening) with a toothbrush and toothpaste. Rinse under running water.
– If you wear it while eating, rinse both mouth and splint after meals.
– 3–4 times per week, clean the splint using special cleaning tablets or liquids for removable appliances (e.g., President, R.O.C.S., Curaprox, LacaLut) according to the product instructions.

What to Eat While Wearing the Splint

– Eat soft or mashed foods: porridge, cottage cheese, yogurt.
– Vegetables should be cooked and soft: soups, purees, stews, casseroles.
– Meat should be finely chopped or ground (cutlets), and fish should be steamed.
– Avoid nuts, croutons, chewing gum, chewy candies, or sticky sweets.

Why the Splint Might Break

– The plastic base may break from falling, squeezing (e.g. manual adjustment), or exposure to heat.
– It may also break due to eating forbidden foods.
– If the splint breaks, schedule an urgent visit to your doctor.
