Incorporated in 1990, Comfort Acrylics, Inc. provides its products to dentists and dental laboratories throughout North America, Australia and Europe. Protected by international patent rights (#s 5,328,362 / 5,646,216 – registered at the US Patent Office), our flagship acrylic, Talon ®, is the registered trademark for a material that is unique in the dental industry.

Talon is a premixed, thermoplastic, acrylic elastomer that forms the retention for conventional hard interocclusal dental appliances. These appliances are used for the management of temporo-mandibular dysfunction (TMJ), bruxism (abnormal, subconscious grinding of teeth), myofascial pain dysfunction syndromes (chronic headaches related to facial muscle disharmony), snoring and obstructive sleep apnea and a variety of other prosthetic and functional orthodontic appliances.

With properties of thermoplasticity and resilience at body temperature, Talon ® provides the ideal means for retaining these dental appliances to the teeth. Since Talon ® is a methacrylate, its bond to conventional dental methyl-methacrylate is inseparable and its adjustability and polishability are ideal. Talon ® is the only thermoplastic acrylic for dental use that has no leachable chemical plasticizers to provide plasticity. The toxicological literature clearly indicates visible effects in animal studies at both the cellular, tissue and organ levels. Please e-mail us for further information on those studies.

Valuable dentist production time is conserved by the dependable "double book" appointment for the appliance delivery. The dental staff can dependably and accurately seat these appliances for the dentist's approval. Since remake rates are virtually zero, adjustments are few if any, patient comfort is maximized and frustration disappears, Talon ® modified splints are one of the most lucrative procedures in dentistry. Talon ® compensates for the minute dimensional inaccuracies in dental casts resulting from liberties taken with alginate and gypsum techniques in the busy dental office. This compensation provides unrivaled comfort for the patient and therefore results in a higher rate of compliance and treatment goal attainment.

Laboratories find greater profits and the elimination of procedures including: model duplication and survey, wire clasping and undercut "blockout." In the final analysis, Talon ® provides greater fees and greater profits for both the dental laboratory and the dentist.

Please contact us via e-mail to learn how you can evaluate this appliance clinically without risk. The dental laboratory division of Comfort Acrylics, Inc. will gladly provide an appliance fabricated to your specifications. You will never struggle with the fit of splints again!

Thank you for the visit.
