The Loudon Chateau repositioning appliance.
The LCR Appliance if fabricated and used properly, has many advantages over the Herbst and Twin Block appliances in solving tongue thrust, mandibular deficiency and repositioning with proper mandibular advancement and mandibular growth results. The regular Chateau appliance was named in 1904 after Dr. Chateau in Franc. It was originally used in Europe but was an uncomfortable removable appliance with wires used in the mandibular anterior lingual area to reposition the mandible.
