An interim bite raiser.
Patients with deep bites or crossbites often need temporary bite opening to prevent mandibular brackets from being sheared off and to allow unobstructed tooth movement. Here we present a simple auxiliary occlusal extension for temporary bite opening to correct an anterior crossbite. The bite plane is hygienic, less intrusive to the tongue space and prevents supra-eruption of the adjacent as well as opposing teeth.
