ABSTRACT:
A buccal sheath for conducting orthodontic procedures for alignment or movement of a patient's teeth permits anterior-posterior and/or lateral expansion of a palatial arch of the patient. The buccal sheath has a slot located in the body of the sheath, the slot running longitudinally, i.e., horizontally from an anterior end of the buccal sheath a portion of distance, generally about 80 to 90% of the distance, between the anterior and posterior end of the buccal sheath an adapted to receive and retain therein various archwires for either anterior-posterior movement, lateral (palatial) movement, or simultaneous movement in both the anterior-posterior direction or in lateral directions. The slot receives the archwires but prevents them from passing through the buccal sheath.
