Elements:
Labial bow 0.8 mm spring hard, spring bow 1.2 mm spring hard
Function:
Activation through muscle function
Description:
Through the spring bows, which can be activated horizontally or vertically, the muscle activity is stimulated
The base appliance only contains few elements, but can be replenished in any way. A labial bow is bent for each upper and lower jaw and the single plates are finished with plane lateral bite blocks.
The polished and finished plates are set onto the models which were articulated according to the construction bite. Now the unifying spring bows can be bent and be added into the acrylic of the single plates of the activator. These spring bows are supposed to enhance muscle activity.
The spring bows reach distally over the base plate for a proper activation. Different directions for their activation are possible (horizontal, vertical).
