The time needed to make a custom-made, hard TMJ (temporomandibular joint) mouthguard or splint can vary depending on the dental laboratory's workload, the complexity of the case, and the specific processes involved. Generally, it may take a few days to a couple of weeks to fabricate a custom TMJ splint. As for how the splint should feel the splint should feel snug and comfortable in your mouth. It's designed to provide stability and support to your jaw joint. It's not uncommon to experience some initial discomfort or awkwardness when wearing the splint. This is because your jaw and oral muscles are adjusting to the new appliance. While some initial discomfort is normal, persistent pain or discomfort may indicate an issue with the fit. If this occurs, it's crucial to contact your dentist promptly for adjustments. With time, most individuals adapt to wearing the splint, and any initial discomfort should diminish.
