Management of space in the mixed dentition: The use of lip bumper
Keywords:
Interceptive orthodontics, Management of space, Crowding, Mixed dentition, Lip-bumper device
Abstract
Management of dental space problems continues to play a substantial role in interceptive orthodontics. In the mixed dentition, moderate crowding problems can be resolved through preservation of the Leeway space, regaining space or producing limited expansion. The lip bumper is a functional device that is used successfully to intercept developing dental and occlusal problems by allowing a proper development of the arch length and width for eruption of the permanent teeth. A nine-year-old female patient with the chief complaint of delayed eruption and lack of space in the left mandibular quadrant for the eruption of the entire permanent teeth. She was successfully treated in duration of 9 months with a lip bumper and expansion therapy.
