This appliance should be cleaned every day with toothpaste and a soft toothbrush, morning and night. Encourage the patient to give sufficient time to clean thoroughly around the appliance, gums, teeth, and bands to maintain proper hygiene and prevent inflammation. 3 minutes is recommended.
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.
