Simple retention for removable appliances of all types
The horizontally lying triangle continues into a vertical part, then into the transversal tag and finally ends in the retention portion. In order to protect the cheek, the open part of the triangle should face distally.
The tag should be bent exactly over the triangle to avoid disturbing the occlusion.
If the triangular clasp is used as an additional retention in the front, the transversal tag has to run over the labial bow.
