Acrylic Materials
Specialty offers the following materials for Splint fabrication.
- Clear acrylic is our standard for all splints unless otherwise indicated. Several of our standard designs use a two step construction technique with a template material first formed, followed by processed acrylic to finalize the occlusal scheme. These materials combine to form a clear appliance.
- Variflex® is a unique acrylic with dual hardness properties. At room temperature, Variflex® is a hard material similar to standard acrylic. In the mouth, Variflex® softens slightly to facilitate seating. In addition, the tooth borne portion of the appliance made with Variflex® remains flexible in the mouth while the occlusal surface can be processed with hard acrylic. (Variflex® is a registered trademark of Great Lakes Orthodontics.)
- Tooth shade acrylic can be used for any splint. Specialty has several shades of this material. Please indicate a light, medium or dark color.
