Michigan Splints AKA Stabilization Splints are the 'gold standard' occlusal splint according to many occlusal camps.
It is actually a great all-rounder splint - but there are some key reasons why Michigan appliances (or Tanner for the lower) is massively overrated!
Listen to this episode as I cover:
- What is a Michigan splint?
- How does this splint work?
- What records do you need for a Michigan splint?
- Do you need a Facebow?
- What are the limitations of Michigan occlusal splints?
- Why might other splints be better for many scenarios?
- Why you should be careful prescribing Michigan splints to primary clenchers
