ABSTRACT:
An orthodontic appliance is provided to prevent overbite or overjet from developing in a child. The appliance is U-shaped in plan view and has tooth receiving troughs for the upper and lower teeth to correctly position the jaws antero-posteriorly. Uses of the appliance preferably should begin when the child is in the age range of 12 to 18 months, before all of the deciduous teeth have erupted so that improper development of the jaw can be avoided. The appliance has a non-working portion being a shield and handle portion to cause the appliance to have the appearance of a pacifier as well as to prevent the child from gagging on the appliance and to assist in the proper positioning of the appliance by the child.
