Placed
to prevent mesial drift of the
molars, the Nance uses an acrylic

Used
as an alternative to traditional
habit breaking appliances, this
fixed appliance utilizes a Teflon
roller that spins on a support
wire to distract the patient
from thumb sucking or tongue
thrusting. Colorful beads can
be used in place of the Teflon
roller to make wearing the appliance
more fun. The support wire is
soldered to bands on the first
molars.
