Description
Treatment & Care
This appliance is constructed with a 3×3 labial bow that crosses over the occlusion distal of cuspids. Four-week appointment intervals are recommended. At each appointment, appliance fit should be evaluated, and orthodontic correction monitored. Interproximal reduction, as well as appliance adjustment, may be necessary.
Patients should wear 22 hours a day and clean daily with toothpaste to prevent the buildup of plaque and odor.
Avoid Efferdent and other effervescent solutions, as it may erode components on the appliance.
