Splints are embedded in the loose tooth and the forked tips of the splints spread to fix the loose tooth in place. |

...They may use a dental splint to fasten the tooth against the teeth on either side...

Dental splints.
A dental splint may be necessary - A splint fits over your teeth and stops the teeth from touching.

(LOOSE TEETH IN ADULTS is caused from BONE LOSS, from gingivitis or periodontitis, which is curable with hydrogen peroxide, but the loose tooth or teeth and bone loss remains. -- THERE IS NO GUARANTEE the dentist would be willing to use the splint alone or inexpensively with loose tooth or teeth, or bone loss.)

Splints - worn full time - that is 24 hours a day / 7 days a week. Once every few weeks the splint is checked and adjusted to follow the jaw joint "settling" into its proper physiological position. The person wearing a full-time splint is most often doing so to treat a TMJ dysfunction problem that nighttime wear alone can not take of. The end of therapy occurs when the patient achieves a jaw joint position that is stable and pain-free. The final step then is to alter the teeth to a correct bite for the jaw joint so that the splint will be no longer necessary.
A splint is meant as a physiologically correct bite that allows the jaw joint (TMJ) to assume it's most correct and least traumatic position. This position will allow for a stable base that will decrease both muscular activity and damaging forces to the joint. What I mean by a "physiologically correct bite" is that built into the surface of as it contacts teeth in closure is a bite that is absolutely correct for proper function of the teeth in harmony with the TMJs and muscles that operate the joint.
