The first medical examination of babies, aimed at identifying possible anomalies in the development of the jaws, occurs approximately at the age of six months. From time to time in newborn babies a bit older can detect a variety of bite defects.
Timely detection of present anomalies and taking appropriate measures to eliminate them largely will contribute to the absence of problems in the near future.
The causes of abnormalities of speech functions and bite may be caused by birth defects, as well as some bad habits, the development of which starts from the very infancy.
To correct various defects found in infancy, special corrective orthodontic devices were invented. Today such devices are called vestibular plates.

Preventive orthodontic appliances
Modern vestibularplates provide the opportunity to eliminate various defects of the vestibular apparatus, starting with infancy.
The main thing is that it is necessary to determine in good time the bad inclinations of the baby, which can actually contribute to the curvature of the dentition in the future. To prevent the possibility of various disorders, a vestibular plate will be required.
Plates contribute to the correction and prevention of malocclusion in young children. So that children do not have any health problems after using such products, special hypoallergenic materials are used for their production.
Consider the main vestibular plates, which you can buy yourself or on the advice of the orthodontist.
Muppy - a leader in its niche
Manufacturer produces several modifications of products.
Proven and in-demand standard
Standard plates are a good substitute for a finger or nipple. On average, to get used to a bad habit, the child will need about one week.
These plates are made of a special soft silicone, used to strengthen the circular muscle with its poor development.
Special exercises are performed in the form of a game. The adult will pull the ring in different directions while the child will try to hold the plate.
The use of standard designs facilitates the performance of such functions:
- normalization of the lip closure closure;
- ensuring proper breathing through the nose;
- adjustment of the language;
- self-regulation of existing deviations;
- development of circular muscle;
- performing myo-functional training;
- help in dealing with various speech defects.
Plates can differ in the degree of rigidity.
Design with a bead
Vestibular plates Muppy with a special bead are necessary to ensure the prevention of possible deformation of the upper and lower dentition.
The plate is fastened with curved wire with a bead in the middle.
Model with visor
A vestibular plate with a visor is used to eliminate bite anomalies of class 2 according to Engle. In order to correct the deviation of grade 3, simply turn the plate upside down.
The visor is clamped by the lower teeth in such a way that the jaw protrudes slightly forward. Thus, its growth is stimulated.
The model with a visor contributes to the achievement of such results:
- normalization of the function of the language;
- improvement of lip closure;
- development of nasal breathing;
- improving the interaction of the upper and lower jaw;
- promotes the transition to nasal breathing;
- the circular muscle becomes firmer, as in the example with the standard plate.
Device with damper
Vestibular plates Mappies with a flap are necessary for the child to disaccustom, during the dialogue or swallowing, to stretch the tongue between the teeth.
Such habits often contribute to the formation of an open bite. The use of plates is good for speech functions. If a child does not keep his tongue in a natural position, speech difficulties may very likely arise over time.
The construction of the plate does not allow the tongue to be laid between the teeth. In fact, a kind of barrier is created for the language. Such a device promotes the development of skills in correct pronunciation of various sounds, regulates the placement of the language, promotes the development of myofunctional training, and develops a circular muscle.
It is necessary to list the list of problems that can be solved with the use of preventive orthodontic Mappi plates:
- is recommended in situations where the child is always breathing through the mouth - breathing through the nose becomes even when the child wears a plate;
- normalization of development of jaws;
- designs contribute to the correction of speech defects in the shortest possible time;
- with open bite develops the so-called infantile principle of swallowing, the plates also contribute to the elimination of this problem;
- the natural process of self-regulation of the oral cavity is adjusted, thanks to the use of such structures.
The average price of vestibular plates Muppy starts from 1200 rubles.
Silicone plates Stoppi
Stoppy medical plates are created from a material that prevents the occurrence of any rashes and irritation on the skin.
The design of the plate implies the presence of a specially designed area for squeezing jaws in the form of two lateral lintels. When the plate is in the mouth, pressure on the upper teeth is prevented.
There are certain rules that need to be adhered to. When the baby is 2 years old, a complete replacement of the pacifiers with a special vestibular plate should be carried out.
You can wear such plates periodically only as an alternative to the nipple. The duration of application is determined exclusively by the attending physician individually. The cost of these plates is from 1200 rubles.
Kerbitz device
The vestibular plate of Kerbitz is needed to restore the normal functioning of muscle tissues in the oral cavity and expand the dentition.
These products are manufactured individually after removal of the plaster cast. To make such an apparatus, 
must first make several anatomical impressions from each tooth row. After that, with the help of a wax cushion, a constructive bite will be fixed. After this, the gypsum models will be obtained during the laboratory processing.
The accuracy of the plate is tested on the vestibular surface for specially manufactured models. Qualitatively manufactured construction will contribute to the expansion of dental rows. In some situations, a special wire ring is placed in the wax plate.
Opinion of consumers
Reviews of parents, children of which were installed this or that vestibular plate.
My daughter was recently put a plate after she began to show the habit of sucking a thumb, from which she could not escape in any way.
Now everything is completely different. From the pacifier she is weaned, periodically holding in her mouth a funny amusing multi-colored plate. Now you can not worry about the fact that your daughter will have crooked teeth when she grows up.
Margarita, Rostov-on-Don
It would be wrong to just take and take away the baby's pacifier or strictly forbid to pop your fingers in your mouth. In such situations, there is a need for a certain psychological substitution.
Until recently, such devices were used only as vestibular plates for children from 3 years old. We also had to wait until the child turns three. Now he uses a plate and all defects of the oral cavity are gradually eliminated with a sufficiently high efficiency.
Sergey, Sverdlovsk
Summarizing the
In order for our children to have the right bite, the muscles of the oral cavity worked well and there was the correct pronunciation, at the age of about 6 months each child is checked for all kinds of anomalies.
If these can be detected, then you must install a suitable vestibular plate, through which all defects of the oral cavity can be carefully removed.
Dental arches can also bend outward when a toddler reaches the age of three and develops the habit of sucking a finger or constantly holding a nipple in his mouth. This is a fairly widespread problem that must necessarily be dealt with, since such defects are largely capable of ruining a person's life during adulthood.
The main purpose of using medical plates is to normalize the placement of the tongue in the oral cavity, improve the muscle tone of the lips, adjust the ratio of both jaws.
This design also contributes to the withdrawal from the constant presence in the mouth of the thumb or ordinary pacifier. Vestibular plates help to solve a lot of problems associated with the formation of an occlusion in infants at an early age.
