Palatal Crib with Omega Loop
$45.00
This fixed appliance is designed to aid patients in overcoming thumb-sucking habits. Fabricated horizontally, it effectively prevents the thumb from contacting the palate’s roof. For stability against thumb or tongue forces, occlusal rests for premolars can be laser welded. Additionally, the inclusion of omega loops allows for potential molar rotation, enhancing its versatility and effectiveness.
