This anterior bite distortion shows an uneven amount of anterior open bite. The upper right canine looks as if it never touches the tooth below, and is called a non-functional tooth. However, even a canine out of position can receive sensory input from a food bolus. Designing a splint to engage this tooth with \u201ckissing\u201d contact during lateral excursions will reawaken the sensation of normal function on this otherwise out-of-position tooth. This sensory processing of tooth engagement is important for normal neck mechanics.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Patient<\/a>
Patient cannot engage this R canine at all in any of her tooth-to-tooth jaw functions.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Bite<\/a>
Bite splint is designed to functionally reduce the distortion in the unilateral anterior open bite.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Note in picture with patient sliding lower jaw to Right (photo on right) how there is slight contact.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Processing<\/a>
Processing contact to the lingual side of upper canine is necessary for normal lateralization of neck. With a tooth previously out of reach, contact is scant or “kissing”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"While<\/a>
While contact on lingual of upper canine is desirable on bite splint, contact across canine tip is not. Quickly engaging, then disengaging, from the splint is shown here.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
