Product Description

HABIT BREAKER we use is the tongue crib, which is a fixed appliance that keeps your tongue positioned posteriorly and also keeps you from resting your thumb on the roof of your mouth.

Different types of Habit Breaker are the following:

v Habit Vertical Crib is used on the upper arch to restrain the tongue from excessive anterior movement or thumb sucking

v Habit Flat Crib is used to restrain the patient from sucking their thumb. Wires are place across the palate parallel to the occlusal plane to prevent it from contacting the rugae.

v Habit Rake is used on the patient that seems to get around all the other designs.

v Habit with Pearl is used on the upper arch to restrain the tongue from excessive anterior movement.

Suggestion

v The proximal margins of the abutments should be parallel or slightly tapering towards occlusal surface. Eliminate undercuts to the maximum. Round all corners.

v We always prefer perfect rubber base impression. Don’t pour die stone type IV immediately to the rubber base impression. Pour only after 1 hour.

v Don’t allow the alginate impression to get dried. Pour die stone type IV immediately. If the model thus prepared is found defective (air bubble, broken stump etc.) discard it and take a new impression rather than trying to produce a second model from the old alginate impression.

v We need upper and lower full Die Stone IV models to check the occlusion correctly.

v Provide the bite registration in Silicone putty (not in wax), if necessary.

v The shade will be perfect only if the labial and occlusal clearance is 2mm.

v VITA classical and VITA 3D Master 9of Ivoclar A-D shade number should be given for ceramic shade selection.

v Avoid grinding the metal prosthesis at the time of metal trial. This may lead to contamination of metal and ceramic chipped – off.

v In anterior case, if the patient is satisfied with the temporary crown / bridge, kindly provide a model of that which will help us in imitating the shape and arrangement. Pre – operative models will also be useful in some cases.
