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.
