Distalization, Fixed Appliances

Lip Bumper

The Lip Bumper Appliance is a removable orthodontic device specifically engineered to facilitate the distalization of the lower molars. Each bumper is custom-fitted to ensure optimal contact with the lip muscles, allowing for even distribution of force that effectively creates space in the dental arch. This innovative design not only aids in addressing overcrowding but also contributes to the overall alignment of the teeth during orthodontic treatment. By gently pushing the molars backward, the Lip Bumper helps achieve the desired dental arch expansion and improved occlusion while remaining comfortable for the patient.

More About Lip Bumper

Mandibular lip bumper

Who Made Me:

Korn and Shapiro developed the lip bumper, an orthodontic appliance that uses stainless steel wire and multiple loops. Lip bumpers, introduced in the mid-20th century, were designed to modify oral musculature forces on the lower teeth. They allow the natural eruption of lower molars and premolars by reducing the force exerted by the lips and cheeks. The concept has been refined to improve patient comfort and reduce unwanted side effects, remaining a common choice in early orthodontic treatment.
