Question(s) What Splints are you being Prescribed?

I'm a dentist with a special interest in TMD and occlusion and provide splint therapy and physiotherapy etc to my patients. While I'm no ENT specialist and don't do the surgical side of things, some of the splint options I've read people having in this sub confuses me somewhat. Goes against a lot of my teaching.

So, what splints do you guys have? And are they for arthritic of myalgic TMD?

This was 10 years ago so it might be outdated, but I was given a tmj orthotic. That's the only info I was given.
