The purpose of the modified repositioning appliance was to overcome the shortcoming of existing design for repositioning protruded premaxilla in a child with bilateral cleft lip and palate.
The basic principles of design were similar to Latham's appliance but the surgical pinning of premaxillary segment was avoided and instead acrylic splint was prepared.
This technique avoids any invasive procedure, is useful to reposition protruded premaxillary segment in bilateral cleft lip and palate cases specifically in child who reports late with deciduous dentition.
改良复位矫治器的目的是克服现有设计在双侧唇腭裂患儿中复位前突上颌前部的缺点。
设计的基本原理与莱瑟姆矫治器相似,但避免了对上颌前部节段的手术固定,而是制作了丙烯酸夹板。
该技术避免了任何侵入性操作,对于双侧唇腭裂病例,特别是乳牙列期就诊较晚的患儿,重新定位前突的上颌前部节段很有用。
