Holding, Space Maintenance & Habit
Bluegrass Appliance
Habit appliance with a roller on a palatal bar the tongue plays with instead of the thumb. Gentler than a crib, and no sharp edges.
Catalog / Fixed
Expanders, distalizers, holding arches, habit appliances and bonded retention — soldered and finished by hand from your models or scan. Every band is fitted to the model before it is soldered, and if the prescription leaves something open we call you rather than guess.
