9. INDICATIONS:
* Hold teeth in a new position after dentition has been
orthodontically corrected.
* Prevent relapse while bone fill occurs around the roots of the
moved teeth.
* Minor tipping movement of teeth mesio-distally and buccally.
* Correct simple anterior crossbites.

13. ADVANTAGES
•* Simple to construct.
* Fabricated in lab, resulting in a reduced chair time.
* Can be removed for brushing, flossing and social reasons.
* Acrylic palate is rigid → offers significant anchorage, maintains
transverse expansion.
* Versatile → easily modified, and can be adjusted for finishing
of treatments.
* Durable → can last for several years.DR.SALEH ALWADIE 13
14. DISADVANTAGES
•* Success depends on patient compliance.
* May be considered unaesthetic due to labial bow.
* Speech might be impaired.
* Wire crosses the occlusal plane.

* prepare the models .
* Separating medium, secure wires to model with wax and soaked
in water for 5 min .
* Salt & Pepper method involved applying monomer and polymer
directly to the model .
* curing the appliance in warm/humid ( 120F / 49C)pressure pot
under 20-30 psi for 12-15 min.

20. ACRYLIC TRIM
* Lower R thickness=3-4 mm and the upper = 2.5-3 mm
* Using a grinding stone.
