Segmentation by type classifies Occlusal Splints into hard acrylic, soft silicone, dual‑layer, night‑guard, and sport‑guard variants. Hard acrylic splints dominate the product mix, capturing close to 45 % of volume due to their durability, precise fit, and suitability for long‑term therapeutic protocols. Soft silicone devices, valued at approximately 30 % of sales, are favored for short‑term comfort‑oriented applications such as night‑time bruxism control, where patient compliance is critical. Dual‑layer splints, which combine a hard inner core with a resilient outer layer, occupy roughly 15 % of the market, offering a balance of strength and cushioning for complex TMD cases. Specialized night‑guard and sport‑guard splints together represent the remaining 10 %, each addressing niche demands—night‑guard for sleep‑related grinding and sport‑guard for impact protection. The distribution of these types directly influences manufacturing footprints, pricing structures, and supply‑chain dynamics within the overall Occlusal Splints market.
