In order to save newly created and desired inter-jaw relations and teeth arrangement, it is necessary to do RETENTION FOIL (OCCLUSAL SPLINT), that is worn during sleep and is very comfortable for a patient. Corrected teeth tend to return to their original position so that the foil is an ideal solution to save the desired teeth arrangement.
The foil is fast and simply made on the basis of the tooth- print taken in a clinic. In the dental clinic "Vukovic", teeth retention foils are made of high-quality materials which provide a high level of patient comfort, achieving at the same time excellent functional results.
The objective of wearing retention foils ( occlusal splint) is to make contacts of the neighboring teeth at one point with the opposing jaws , so that the teeth fit on the principle "key-lock" and the inter-relations are saved.
