A n approach is presented for the construction of an extracoronal temporary splint that meets the demands of stabilization in the presence of a compromised attachment apparatus. It is completely reversible and esthetically acceptable. It also combines the versatility of two often used materials—orthodontic grid material (for bracket placement) and self‐polymerizing resins and composites, giving the combined effect of strength, stability and esthetics.
