Product information "OrthoPreventAligner® open bite"

The OrthoPreventAligner® OB is a training device manufactured of high elastic silicone (shore hardnesses 45 and 60) for treating frontal open bite in the primary and mixed dentition. This tooth displacement is already caused in the primary dentition by persistent sucking habits. The OrthoPreventAligner® OB has an extended and strongly retroverted lip screen for the upper jaw, which covers the shortened upper incisors and the arched jaw section. The first indirect effect takes place by preventing the tongue to permanently lay between the front teeth. In addition, a direct effect is achieved by placing the lip screen of the upper jaw on the mostly protruding and shortened teeth, which in this way are guided towards the palate and lengthened at the same time. By closing the open bite, incorrect articulation is removed, pronunciation improves and biting with the incisors is possible again.
