Reviv vs Your Dentist’s $900 Splint: The Truth About Bite Relief

Reviv vs Your Dentist’s $900 Splint: The Truth About Bite Relief

Dental Splints Mouthguards

Let’s get honest for a second.

Your dentist just quoted you $900+ for a night splint.
 Meanwhile, Reviv costs a fraction of that… and actually works.

So what's the catch?

Spoiler: there isn’t one.

In fact, Reviv was built specifically to outperform overpriced splints by solving the root problem most dental devices ignore: neuromuscular alignment.

Let’s break down what you’re really paying for—and why thousands are ditching bulky splints for Reviv.

 

1. What You’re Actually Getting With a $900 Splint

A typical dentist-made splint offers:

  • A thick plastic bite block
  • Protection from grinding
  • Basic impression of your bite (usually in centric relation)

But here’s what it doesn’t offer:

❌ Neuromuscular jaw alignment
 ❌ Sleep optimization
 ❌ Posture correction
 ❌ Facial symmetry support
 ❌ Any guarantee it’ll feel comfortable or even work

Most splints = static protection.
 Reviv = dynamic alignment.

2. Reviv Aligns, Supports, and Actively Trains a Better Bite

Reviv isn’t just a cushion.

It’s designed to:

  • Place your jaw in the “aesthetic rest position”
  • Decompress the TMJ and surrounding musculature
  • Train better jaw posture over time

3. Splints Can Widen Your Bite or Flatten Your Jawline

Here’s the part your dentist won’t tell you:

  • Overbuilt splints can push your teeth laterally
  • Many cause facial puffiness or widened jaws over time
  • Others shrink the masseter with disuse, leading to sunken cheeks

Reviv supports your natural facial symmetry instead of distorting it.

4. Splints Don’t Improve Sleep. Reviv Does.

Splints are designed to protect teeth.

Reviv improves breathing.

By supporting forward jaw posture and opening your airway, it helps you:

  • Breathe easier through your nose
  • Stop clenching in REM sleep
  • Wake up rested, not foggy

5. $900 Splints Are Non-Refundable. Reviv Is Risk-Free.

You paid your dentist.
 You hate the splint.
 It lives in your nightstand drawer forever.

That $900? Gone.

Reviv? Try it. Remold it.
 Doesn’t work? Return it.

Simple.

6. Reviv Is Remoldable—Your Splint Isn’t

Your bite can shift.
 Your muscles can relax.
 Your needs can change.

Most splints are one-size-fits-you-forever.

Reviv?

  • Can be remolded multiple times
  • Adapts to your evolving alignment
  • Grows with your progress

7. Reviv Feels Like You. Splints Often Feel Like Foreign Objects.

The number one complaint about dental splints?

“It’s too bulky to sleep with.”

Reviv is:

  • Thin enough to wear without gagging
  • Flexible but supportive
  • Comfortable enough for night or day use

 

8. Reviv Supports Posture. Your Splint Doesn’t.

When your jaw is misaligned, your head shifts forward.
 Your spine curves.
 Your muscles overcompensate.

Reviv restores that foundation—starting at the jaw.

9. Splints Treat the Symptoms. Reviv Fixes the Pattern.

Dental splints = protection.

Reviv = prevention + realignment.

  • Splints block wear
  • Reviv stops grinding altogether
  • Splints ignore your nervous system
  • Reviv calms it by resetting the jaw

10. You Deserve Bite Relief That Works—Not Just Costs More

If price = results, dentists would have solved TMJ decades ago.

But the truth is:
 Most splints are static, overpriced, and outdated.

Reviv was built for:

  • Biohackers
  • Athletes
  • Women chasing symmetry
  • Chronic pain sufferers
  • People who are done guessing
