KeySplint Printed Bite Splints
KeySplint Printed Bite Splints are 3D-printed, temperature-responsive occlusal appliances designed to protect against bruxism and safeguard new restorative work, all without sacrificing comfort.
Printed from KeySplint Hard/Soft resin, these appliances soften slightly at intraoral temperature so they adapt to the dentition in the mouth while remaining strong and fracture-resistant in use. Patients feel less pressure, more even contact, and a smoother transition into wearing a nightguard.
Every splint is printed in-house at Derby using advanced print settings and a cassette polishing process that produces a high-clarity, glass-like finish. Designs are created with AI-assisted setup and always refined by a technician, so fit and occlusion are predictable from case to case.

FAQ
What are Derby KeySplint splints made from?
They are printed from KeySplint Hard/Soft or KeySplint Hard resins --- FDA-cleared materials known for clarity, fracture resistance, and temperature-adaptive comfort.
How long do these splints last?
Longevity depends on patient habits and parafunctional load, but KeySplint materials are highly fracture-resistant and perform well for long-term nightly wear. Printed and Milled splints are the strongest and longest lasting options.
Are they comfortable?
Yes. These splints soften slightly in the mouth, allowing them to adapt to tooth contours and reduce pressure points, which often improves patient compliance.
Do you offer upper and lower versions?
Yes. Derby fabricates KeySplint splints for either arch. Dual-arch designs are not common but available.
How fast can I get a splint?
Digital iOS scans receive a 3-day express turnaround. Traditional impressions follow a 5-day in-lab schedule.
What if the patient loses their splint?
Because the design file is stored digitally, we can reprint an exact duplicate, typically within one manufacturing day.
What printing technology do you use?
We use advanced 3D printers from Carbon and HeyGears that are both validated for KeySplint materials to support clarity, accuracy, and strength.
Can these splints protect new restorations?
Yes. Their combination of strength and adaptive comfort makes them well-suited for protecting crowns, veneers, and other restorative work.
