Objectives and features of the application of the oral dental retractor Optragate

In its work, the dentist has to use numerous improvised tools that simplify the performance of certain diagnostic or therapeutic actions, and also provide the opportunity for better access to the teeth and gums of the patient.

One of the serious problems for every dentist is that most patients at the reception can not hold their mouth open for a long time, moreover, at the required level. People experience significant difficulties from such a situation, they have increased salivation and a persistent involuntary desire to shut their mouths.

This significantly complicates the dentist's work because his efforts are directed precisely at making the patient's mouth in the right position for his job.

Each year, new ways of solving this problem are proposed and one of the latest inventions in this area is an adaptation called OptraGate, a special rotor-expander, sometimes called the lip retractor.

cost What is Optgateit

This device is very different from numerous dental hard fixation systems, it has a pleasant structure and softness, very simple to use. With his help, you can quickly and easily isolate the patient's lips and cheeks, create the widest possible space for the dentist's work.

In addition to the direct task of opening the oral cavity, OptraGate also performs the task of isolating the mucous tissues of the mouth, lips and cheeks from getting on them any dental medical preparations and active substances that can cause allergies and other unpleasant consequences.

Also this device perfectly copes with the task of protecting the oral cavity from possible injuries and damages.

Here, this possibility is completely ruled out.
