There are certain instructions and precautions that have to be followed while you are wearing a splint. A detailed list will be provided to you by the dentist you are getting treated from. However a limited mouth opening is recommended. Opening the mouth wide ( yawning ) or forceful stretching can have effects. Elastics have to be kept clean and oral hygiene should be taken special care.
