Removable Retainers for Upper or Lower arches are fabricated to hold teeth in place. Acrylic on Labial Bow can be added for that extra hold for Anterior Teeth. Retention Wires are; Adams Clasps, Modified Crozat Clasps, Ball or "C" Clasps or Wrap-Around's are some retention wires that are used depending on the Occlusion of the Teeth. Also shown, third from right, is a Crozat-type Hawley with Modified Crozat Clasp can be made with Adams Clasp. Requirements: Check your impressions and models for distortions. BACK TO TOPSpace Maintainers (Band & Loop)
Premature loss of Primary Teeth or Permanent Teeth may result the loss of space. Space Maintainers or Band & Loops can protect this space loss. One Arm Band & Loops are used when the area is very small or if the Band slipped during pour-up (the band must be reposition by our experienced technicians), so adjustments can be achieved by the Dr. Requirements: Good impressions or models will give you the best fitting appliance. BACK TO TOPPedo Partials (Dentures)
Pedo Partials are made with a wire frame and soldered spurs for each tooth to support the teeth. Acrylic Flange is used when the alignment of the teeth shows a gap on the gum tissue. Partials can be removable with retention wires to support and hold appliance. Requirements: Need opposing models and accurate impressions that will make your patients smile and Mom will be happy! BACK TO TOPRPE’s
Expansions from 7mm to 14mm, RPE can be used with 2 Bands or 4 Bands. Third from right is a Lingual arch with Ellis Loop or Adjustment Loops Requirements: Bands must be fitted properly in impressions and check position of bands after pour-ups, no room for errors. BACK TO TOPTMJ Splints
TMJ Splints are made with strong clear acrylic designed to withstand tough grinding. Splints can be made with or without Labial Acrylic and with or without Ball Clasps. BACK TO TOPHalterman Appliances
