True Function

What is Cleft & Craniofacial Awareness Month? It’s a time to build more understanding around conditions that can affect the face, jaws, palate, teeth, and airway - and to recognize the patients, families, and care teams involved. It’s also a reminder that care is bigger than any one procedure. For many patients, that process may involve: • surgical planning • orthodontic and dental development • speech and feeding support • airway evaluation • long-term follow-up across multiple stages of growth That’s where the dental side contributes. From monitoring occlusion and development to supporting treatment with custom devices when appropriate, dentistry can play an important role within the broader care team. Not as a standalone solution. As part of a coordinated plan built around the patient. Awareness matters because understanding helps teams collaborate more clearly. And clearer collaboration supports better care.

Roughly 1 in 5 adult patients grinds in their sleep. A night guard should help protect the bite without creating another round of adjustments for your team. True Function Night Guards are built with a classic full-coverage design, smooth occlusion, shallow anterior guidance, and cuspid rise. When the case calls for something different, we can also fabricate fewer-teeth coverage, flat plane, cuspid rise only, and upper or lower arch options. Materials include Milled Acrylic, Acetal, True Comfort, and Thermoplastic. And with a 7-business-day turnaround, you can keep the case moving without unnecessary back-and-forth. Practical device. Clear function. Less friction at delivery. If you have a case in front of you, submit it today.

Your lab is not just where the case goes. It is one of the best resources you have. One takeaway from this webinar: The lab sees a high volume of cases, which means they see patterns, troubleshoot constantly, and often bring helpful perspective in the design phase. Communicate early. Ask questions. Tap into what they are seeing. That kind of collaboration can lead to better planning, more creative solutions, and fewer surprises later. Catch the full webinar in the education portal.

When a TMJ or orofacial pain case feels difficult to sort out, the answer is to slow down enough to evaluate the case well. That means asking better questions. Looking carefully at what the exam is showing you. And knowing how to connect the patient’s history with the clinical picture in front of you. In one week, Dr. Anita Kabaria will lead a webinar on history-taking and clinical examination for patients with TMJ and/or orofacial pain conditions. As a board-certified specialist, she’ll walk through a practical approach to: • comprehensive history taking • the history details that most shape assessment • examining joint function, muscle involvement, and related findings • using subjective and objective findings to build an appropriate treatment plan If you want a more repeatable way to evaluate these patients, save your seat and join us on Tuesday, July 21 at 4 PM PST / 7 PM EST.

Some designs stay around because they work. The flat plane stabilization splint is one of them. When a TMD case calls for something predictable, most clinicians are not looking for a new twist. They want a design that has held up in real practice. True Function’s Flat Plane Stabilization Splint is built for full coverage, with all opposing dentition in contact and smooth occlusal surfaces that support consistent function. By standard design, it does not include anterior guidance or cuspid rise, though those options are available when indicated. It can be made for the upper or lower arch, worn day or night, and fabricated in Milled Acrylic, Acetal, True Comfort, or Thermoplastic. And with sleep bruxism still affecting about 21% of adults globally—and about 31% in North America—the need for a tried-and-true stabilization device is not going anywhere. Tried-and-true design. Flexible material options. Ships in 7 business days. If you have a case in front of you, submit it today.

The provider guides diagnosis and treatment. Have a case in mind? Submit a case today.
