FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the turnaround time for a job?
At Splint King quality and efficiency are our objectives. We aim to have splints manufactured and delivered in 5 business days from order acceptance. For full turn-around times on all services please click here.
What are the splint after-care instructions?
It is recommended to clean your splint before and after use with water at room temperature and soap. Any over-the-counter cleaning agents designed for oral appliances are suitable.
Cautions:
-
DO NOT soak appliance in liquid for more than an hour.
-
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning agents (i.e. toothpaste) as they can shorten the life expectancy of the appliance.
-
DO NOT clean in water warmer than 45°C.
What is the protocol for fitting a splint?
Place the splint in hot water (approximately 80°C) and seat in patient's mouth. Get patient to bite forcibly on the splint to further mould fit. Full fitting instructions can be found here.
How can we send jobs?
Jobs can be sent to us digitally via a number of portals. We are available on all of the major intra-oral scanning platforms (3Shape, Medit, Sirona). For more information on how to correctly set up a lab partnership click here.
My practice does not have a scanner, am I able to send impressions?
Splint King is a fully digital lab. Though we preference digital impressions, we do accomodate for those without access to intra-oral scanners and accept PVS impressions and/or models with a bite registration.
