(1) The saddle width can be adjusted when necessary through expansion, compression or cutting a part, to make it applicable to any tooth shape, crown/bridge, but also brackets and bands.

(2) Afterwards, the bonding is applied to the inner surfaces of both saddles

(3) The specially fabricated long-term resilient (soft) relining silicone is briskly sprayed onto the inner surfaces of both saddles with high pressure. Use of a dispenser is recommended due to the shore hardness 60 and in order to make work easier

(4) Subsequently, the Aqua Splint is inserted in the lower jaw (saddle on 35/36 or 45/46). A reverse “V“ marks the middle of the tube and facilitates accurate positioning between 31,41. Strong contact between the tube and the gingiva should be avoided.
