Esthetics and strength are the key advantages to this popular design. The Groper Fixed Anterior Bridge is made extra strong by attaching each tooth separately to a specially designed, stainless steel pad (an SML exclusive). Each unit is then welded and soldered to the arch wire. Placing rest seats and bonding rests into place will prevent the patient from bending or breaking the appliance. Note: As with all bridges and partials, opposing models and a bite registration are necessary for proper construction.
NOTE: Replacement teeth are made of ACRYLIC by default. The replacement teeth are also available in COMPOSITE when requested. Composite pedo partials incur an additional fee. Composite material allows the practitioner to add, reduce or repair the device easier than the standard acrylic. Keep in mind that BOTH the acrylic and composite material may discolor over time based upon a number of factors (Diet and life style etc.)
