Guest guest Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 A splint is a flat piece of plastic that has the imprint of your upper and lower teeth in it. It is put in between your teeth to hold them in the correct position while you are wire or banded shut. It makes eating very difficult with one of those in. You will absolutely need zip & squeeze bags to get the tube toward the back of your mouth to put food into to push thru the back teeth. Dave I don't have one, lucky I guess. 5 days post op, banded very tightly shut. > > Ok, I have a dumb questions.
