Bite correctors (Expanders and Plates)
A bite corrector is either a removable plate or a fixed expander worn to correct early dental problems. They are commonly used for the correction of bite problems such as an overbite, single tooth cross bites or for jaw expansion of a narrow arch.
The plate is made with hard acrylic and there are a range of colours and options to choose from. The expander is made with metal and is made digitally to ensure a snug custom fit.
