Product information "OrthoPreventAligner® lower jaw retraction"

The OrthoPreventAligner® class II is a training device manufactured of high elastic silicone (shore hardnesses 45 and 60) for the primary and mixed dentition. It serves treating a retrusive bite of the lower jaw including the removal of the incisors ledging. This tooth displacement is already caused in the primary dentition by persistent sucking habits. The first indirect effect takes place by stimulating the growth of the lower jaw which incorrectly tends backwards. In addition, there is a direct effect by placing the lip screen of the upper jaw on the mostly spaced protruded incisors. By the removing the incisors ledging,pronunciation is much improved and biting with the incisors is facilitated.
