What is it in dentistry?

lips bumper is a dental device used in orthodontic treatment of children. It is basically a wire that is partially covered with plastic. The wire is connected to two stools at both ends and limits the lower teeth on the front of the lower teeth. It is used as early intervention, the lip bumper basically stretches or extends the arch of the lower jaw to introduce the added capacity to eruption of permanent adult teeth. In general, this is the preferred alternative to tooth extraction, which is usually installed by an orthodontist that is likely to have to make periodic adjustments over the year. It allows the tongue to gently push against the lower teeth, creating more space for them. At the same time, it keeps the faces and lower lip before too much pressure on the teeth, the pressure that can lead to the crowd. The device also pushes the patient's lower stools back to create space for permanent hits. The lip bumper is sometimes used on the upper teeth, but its primary application is in the lower mouth. In this way the lip bumper works as the opposite of the holder,Equipment worn by an orthodontic patient for a certain period of time after the braces are resisted.

The device itself is a plastic metal wire that connects to the tubes anchored to the bottom and lower lip. Although it is a removable device, it is usually worn 24 hours a day, including food and sleep. However, some orthodontists may allow patients to remove the equipment when eating and brushing. If the bumper is worn continuously on the lips, patients must assure plaque from the lower teeth.

patients may experience some pain or sensitivity in the teeth or gums in the first few days after placing the bumper on the lips. During this transitional period, it can help eat soft foods, gargle with salt water or take Tylenol®. If irritation persists, the orthodontist should be seen to assess whether it may be necessary to end again. The bumper on the lips usually remains in place after dObu approximately one year for a successful result. During this time, patients will have to return to an orthodontist office for regular adjustments.
