A lingual dental splinting device having an elongated bar-like body member with at least two tubular members extending perpendicularly from one side thereof, the tubular members being received in corresponding holes which respectively extend transversely through adjacent teeth when the body member is disposed in a side wall channel laterally extending between the adjacent teeth, the tubular members including axial openings therethrough. A brace member is disposed in an opposing side wall channel which also laterally extends between the adjacent teeth. A U-shaped wire has its legs passing through or extending from the brace member. The legs extend from the opposing side wall through the axial openings in the tubular members so as to extend from the bar-like body member. Restraining devices are then disposed at the distal ends of the legs so as to hold the body member in place.
