ABSTRACT:
Multiple purpose orthodontic appliances for correcting the malocclusion of teeth in all planes; correcting jaw discrepancies in all planes of space; stimulating maximum development of dental arches; orthopedically widening the upper jaw bone; and stimulating development of the orofacial musculature and a method of employing the applicances includes the utilization of a face bow with suitable plastic shields affixed thereto to provide orthopedic treatment as well as the usual orthodontic correction provided by the face bow itself. The face bow includes interconnected outer and an inner arch wires and in one form, the shield is positioned in the anterior area of the inner arch wires so as to provide labial or anterior pressure on the lip muscles. In a second form, the shields are disposed along the sides of the inner arch wires to provide buccal or lateral influence on the cheek muscles. In a third form, the shield covers both the anterior and lateral area of the inner arch wires so as to provide both labial and buccal pressure. A modified form of the invention includes the provision of a centrally located air passage or aperture in the anteriorly disposed shield to facilitate oral breathing while wearing the appliance. Another form of the invention includes the provision of superior and inferior hooks on the inner surface of the shields to enable the appliance to provide fairly specialized corrective orthodontic forces. Still another form of the invention includes a spring loaded arch wire and shield combination designated for entirely interoral use.
