STRAIGHTEN TEETH WHILE SLEEPING

FOR THE 5 TO 8 YEAR OLD CHILD

Nite-Guide® - "C" Series

The Nite-Guide® is worn by 5 to 8 year old children only passively at night to correct overbite, overjet, crowding and some open-bites*. Nite-Guide® is a preformed, self opening appliance, designed for the baby dentition to allow erupting upper and lower adult front teeth to be guided in straight. The appliance then holds these teeth straight while fibers develop around them to hold the correction. The Nite-Guide® also increases the size of the jaws in the area of the front teeth to help correct crowding. The Nite-Guide® is available in 11 sizes.

The Nite-Guide® is indicated for:

• A potentially deep overbite where the upper baby front teeth cover the lowers vertically by 1/8" (1.5 mm) or more.
• Any severity of overjet (buck teeth), however the correction some of those over 4mm may require active daytime wear.
• Up to 4 mm of potential crowding of the permanent adult incisors.
• Correction of Class I (normal jaw relation in profile), end to end, and Class II malocclusions (where the lower jaw is smaller in relation to the upper jaw).
• Correction of some open-bites (an opening between the upper and lower jaw in front) where thumb sucking habits have been corrected and where no swallowing problems exist.
• Correction of some cross-bites in the back tooth area that are not caused by a displacement of the lower jaw.

*Appliance applicable where diagnostic criteria of malocclusion and stage of dental development are met.
