Garcia Nighttime Splint

This mandibular, pull forward splint is named because it is worn at night as part of a two part system with a daytime component being worn during waking hours. It consists of  a  lower splint with long posterior lingual flanges in the posterior section. The anterior cap provides support to prevent intrusion of the posteriors.  Posterior contact is on the lingual  buccal cusp of the upper teeth. This daytime component looks the same except for the shorter lingual flanges in the posterior.
