A removable splint for treating certain orofacial disorders has a chewing surface and can be worn while the patient is eating. The splint fits over some or all of the maxillary or mandibular teeth. The chewing surface is preferably shaped like the occlusal surfaces of the natural teeth of the patient. The device may be made to look like natural teeth and gums. Preferably, the natural look is achieved by coloring the material of the splint during or after casting and placing denture teeth in the part of the splint that shows when the patient smiles.
