Essential Guide to Choosing Bite Accessories
- Bite Turbos for Bracket Protection — Bite turbos create vertical separation to prevent lower teeth contacting upper brackets. Available in pre-formed pads or mouldable kits, they bond directly to occlusal surfaces and reduce bracket debonding during treatment.
- Mouth Props for Isolation — Check retractors and mouth props keep the oral cavity open during lengthy procedures. They reduce patient fatigue, improve visibility, and allow hands-free retraction for restorative or orthodontic work.
- Bite Sticks for Aligner Seating — Bite sticks help seat clear aligners fully onto teeth for optimal tracking. Patients bite down on the stick to eliminate air gaps and ensure consistent aligner fit across all tooth surfaces.
- Material Considerations — Choose between light-cure composite turbos or silicone-based mouldable options. Composite turbos offer precise placement and strong adhesion, while silicone options allow chairside customisation.
- Size and Application Method — Bite turbos come in mini and standard sizes for different occlusal needs. Kits often include applicators for accurate placement, reducing chairside time and improving consistency.
- Patient Comfort Factors — Smooth edges and appropriate sizing minimise soft tissue irritation. Select accessories with rounded profiles and biocompatible materials to enhance patient acceptance during extended wear.
