Clinical applications and benefits of lip bumper: A literature review
Journal Title: Stomatos - Year 2011, Vol 17, Issue 32
Abstract
The lip bumper is removable appliance which is one of many used by orthodontics for treatment of minor crowding in lower jaw. It is easy to manufacture and well accepted and used by the patient. It can be considered a hearth space being used in the mixed dentition and/or deciduous. Its space saving is due to projection of lower incisors and distal tipping of the molars. The opportune time for the installation of this device is of great importance in future planning of the event, being decisive for extraction of permanent teeth or not. This article aims to emphasize the importance of early orthodontics treatments, which aims to minimize or resolve some orthodontic problems and minimize the treatment time with orthodontic corrective if it is necessary. After a brief review of literature on the manufacture and use of lip bumper, we will present one of the many applications of this device
