Talon Splints
Introducing the Talon splint appliances from Tanaka Digital Lab, an ingenious fusion of the most beneficial characteristics found in both rigid and flexible splints. This innovation effectively mitigates the inherent drawbacks of each type, leading to a significant reduction in the chair time required for ensuring patient comfort. The portion of the appliance that interfaces with the teeth is meticulously crafted from a gentle, thermoplastic polymer.
Customized Fit of Tanaka Digital Lab’s Talon Splints
These appliances can be pre-warmed in warm water, ensuring a personalized fit every time the patient uses them. This unique feature ensures that Tanaka Digital Lab’s Talon appliances offer an exceptionally comfortable wearing experience while maintaining optimal retention. Engineered to provide ideal comfort and retention at the body’s natural temperature, the Talon material guarantees superior retention without exerting undue pressure on the teeth or surrounding tissues. The need for internal adjustments is significantly reduced due to the consistent “custom fit” achieved with each insertion. The pliable thermoplastic interior is seamlessly integrated with a robust acrylic shell, allowing for occlusal enhancement and regular occlusal adjustments. Unlike other existing thermoplastics, Talon® retains its initial flexibility over extended periods. A durable acrylic surface is chemically bonded with processed Talon® material, creating the splint’s occlusal plane and facilitating effortless, precise occlusal adjustments.
