The Positioner is used primarily to help "settle-in" the occlusion at the end of a full-fixed bracket and band case. Fabricated from flexible plastic (silicone or rubber), this retaining appliance is typically used to create a slightly over-treated Class I relationship. The appliance is fabricated after the individual teeth are cut from a current set of models and reset into the ideal relationship. Impressions for this appliance can be taken with brackets still in place. This will allow you to deliver the appliance immediately on the same day that you plan to remove your bands and brackets. Upon delivery, the patient is instructed to clench into the Positioner on a scheduled basis. This action not only allows for a gentle settling-in of the individual teeth (into their correct positions), but also establishes a correct interarch relationship. Various colors (as well as the standard clear material) are available for this appliance. Note: A specific “Set-up and Positioner Prescription” form is available upon request.
