Now that it has CE mark approval, Orofacial Therapeutics can initiate marketing efforts and commercialization of its QuickSplint interim oral appliance in Europe. The QuickSplint is the only oral appliance that can be fabricated quickly and easily in the dental practice, the company reports. It also is the only oral appliance designed for short-term use of up to 2 to 4 weeks, according to Orofacial Therapeutics.
“QuickSplint, for me, has so many functions in my general practice,” said Lee Ann Brady, DMD. “I use it all the time. It’s a quick, easy, inexpensive device—a practice builder, a patient rapport builder, and a great service to be able to offer our patients.”
