Features
Features
- Anchorage Reinforcement: Enhances molar stability during orthodontic treatment, ensuring other teeth can move into correct positions without molar drift.
- Molar Movement: Facilitates distal or mesial movement of molars, aiding in the correction of bite alignment and creating space for other teeth.
- Hypotonic Lip Treatment: Assists in the treatment of hypotonic lips, encouraging proper muscle function and reducing the negative impact of weak lip muscles on dental alignment.
- Pressure Buffer: Strategically positioned in front of anterior teeth to deflect lip and cheek pressure away from both front and back teeth, preventing unwanted tooth movement.
- Durable Construction: Features a robust wire framework and a comfortable plastic shield that withstands daily wear while ensuring patient comfort.
- Crowding Prevention: Effectively prevents dental crowding by maintaining or creating space in the lower jaw, allowing for proper eruption and alignment of permanent teeth.
- Habit Correction: Aids in correcting detrimental oral habits such as lip sucking and cheek biting, which can lead to malocclusion and other dental issues.
- Ideal for Pediatric Patients: Specifically designed for children, offering a medium size that ensures a secure and comfortable fit while accommodating normal lip movement.
- Oral Health Improvement: Promotes better oral health by maintaining proper spacing and alignment, which facilitates easier cleaning and reduces the risk of cavities and gum disease.
- Regular Monitoring Required: Ensures optimal results through routine dental check-ups, allowing for adjustments and close monitoring of the treatment progress.

Direction to use
Direction to use
- Patient Assessment: Conduct a comprehensive oral examination to determine if the JJ Ortho Lip Bumper - Medium (70.01.05) is suitable for the patient's orthodontic needs. Assess for conditions such as crowding, need for molar movement, or treatment for hypotonic lips.
- Impressions and Measurements: Take precise impressions of the patient’s lower jaw to ensure a custom fit for the lip bumper. Measure the arch length and determine the appropriate size of the lip bumper.
- Appliance Fabrication: Send the impressions to the lab with specific instructions for fabricating the JJ Ortho Lip Bumper - Medium (70.01.05). Verify the specifications for wire thickness, length, and the fit of the plastic shield.
- Fitting the Appliance: Schedule a fitting appointment once the lip bumper is ready. Secure the wire ends of the lip bumper with bands around the patient’s lower molars. Ensure the plastic shield is positioned correctly in front of the anterior teeth, between the lip and teeth.
- Adjustment and Comfort: Adjust the appliance to ensure a snug and comfortable fit, making minor tweaks as necessary. Provide the patient with instructions on managing any initial discomfort.
- Patient Instructions: Educate the patient and their guardians on the importance of maintaining oral hygiene by brushing teeth and the lip bumper thoroughly after meals. Advise avoiding sticky, hard, or chewy foods that could damage the appliance. Instruct the patient to avoid manipulating the lip bumper with their tongue or fingers.
- Regular Follow-Ups: Schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor the patient’s progress and make any necessary adjustments to the lip bumper. Check for any signs of wear or damage to the appliance and address any patient concerns.
- Duration of Use: Determine the appropriate duration for wearing the lip bumper based on the patient’s specific treatment needs. Provide guidance on the expected treatment timeline and milestones.
- Monitoring and Adjustments: During each follow-up, assess the effectiveness of the lip bumper in reinforcing anchorage, facilitating molar movement, and maintaining space. Make adjustments as necessary to ensure continuous progress and patient comfort.
- Removal and Post-Treatment Care: Once the desired orthodontic outcomes are achieved, remove the lip bumper. Discuss follow-up treatments or the use of retainers to maintain the achieved results.
- Documentation: Keep detailed records of the patient’s progress, adjustments made, and any observations noted during each visit. Document patient compliance and any issues encountered during the treatment period.
