Identical principles of splint design are employed as in other cases:
\nSolid posterior stops
\nLight anterior occlusion
\nShallow anterior guidance
\nSmooth crossover<\/p>\n

\"Freedom<\/a>
Freedom of anterior tooth contact at splint delivery appointment<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Patients with posterior open bites experience repetitive occlusal trauma to the anterior teeth. Designing the splint to provide a little clearance to these teeth on full closure will allow the PDL to recover from the trauma. \u00a0<\/span>As the PDL of the front teeth tightens, the upper incisors will yet again make an impact against the leading edge of the splint. Several appointments may be necessary to relieve the anterior tooth contact pressure over and over.\u00a0 <\/span>As the lower jaw has more freedom to come forward, the cranium has the freedom to rotate posteriorly on the Atlas.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
