Bite splint costs - assumption of costs
Tension as well as headaches and back pain can be caused by jaw problems. An incorrect bite is often the cause. This means that the upper and lower jaws do not close in the ideal position. This causes tension in the chewing, facial and head muscles. This in turn causes what is known as a tension headache, which is mainly felt in the forehead and temple area. However, it can also radiate into the neck and even the back.
In these cases, a crunch splint can usually provide rapid relief from the symptoms. It is also used successfully if you grind your teeth and suffer from jaw pain as a result. This constant strain, usually at night, and the excessive pressure lead to painful tension, while the grinding of the teeth causes increased tooth abrasion. This becomes visible through clear grinding marks on the teeth.
In this case, dentists will recommend functional therapeutic occlusal splints. They are a simple way of preventing teeth grinding at night. In addition, their uncomplicated and painless application brings rapid success. If you regularly experience toothache, jaw pain or headaches or frequently wake up with tension in your neck or jaw area, you should discuss this with your dentist. The first step is to clarify when and where the pain occurs. This is followed by an examination of the teeth, gums and jawbone.
Bite splint costs
Dental splints can be used to discreetly and unobtrusively eliminate various dental problems. Bite splints are generally covered by health insurance. This includes both the manufacture of the splint by the dentist and the material costs. For people with statutory health insurance, the health insurance company usually covers the entire cost of the splint. Costs over and above these standard benefits, such as functional diagnostics or possibly higher splints, must be covered by the patient themselves. However, if you only need a simple, unadjusted bite splint, you can dispense with the complex diagnostic procedures with a clear conscience.

Dental occlusal splints
Manufacture
The production of dental occlusal splints using a 3D printer offers precise and customised solutions for patients. The process begins with a digital scan of the dentition, which is transferred to CAD software. The model of the splint is created and optimised there. The design is then sent to the 3D printer, which produces a customised occlusal splint layer by layer from biocompatible resin. The technology enables fast production, a precise fit and a smooth surface that ensures comfort. The printing process is followed by post-curing under UV light to ensure durability. 3D printing makes production more efficient and cost-effective.

Bite splint: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Which splints are available?
The costs incurred depend on the material used and the necessary diagnostic procedures. They are divided into soft and hard occlusal splints. Furthermore, non-adjusted splints, the so-called mini-plastic splints, or adjusted splints are used. A non-adjusted bite splint is worn during the night as a simple plastic cover over the row of teeth and thus effectively prevents wear of the tooth surfaces.
Even if a dental splint is required as craniomandibular dysfunction therapy (CMD), the costs of the complex diagnostic procedure are often covered by statutory health insurance if a corresponding diagnosis is made. A medical prescription is also possible for patients who suffer from severe, persistent teeth grinding (bruxism). However, anyone who needs or wants a dental splint that deviates from the standard usually has to make at least an additional payment. As a patient, you should definitely clarify this with your health insurance provider before starting treatment.
How often can I claim for a new splint?
The prerequisite for the manufacture of a customised grinding splint is that its medical necessity is justified by your dentist. In the best case scenario, such a splint can last for several years. However, severe bruxism can make it necessary to replace the splint after just a few months.
If you need a new bite splint after just one year, you still have a good chance of having the costs covered by your statutory health insurance. However, it can become problematic if a splint lasts less than a year. In such cases, the health insurance companies usually request further information from the dentist treating the patient. If necessary, a second opinion is requested from a dental practice specified by the health insurance company. If the diagnosis is the same, the costs will be covered.
