Correct Deep Overbite -- Even in Small  Children, with the Rick-A-Nator

The Rick-A-Nator is truly the orthodontists’ best friend. This popularly used, simple fixed appliance consists of a maxillary anterior inclined plane placed on a lingual wire attached to molar bands. It can drastically improve deep overbites, improve a patient’s profile, and improve TMJ symptoms.

In some cases, you may see very young patients with deep overbites. Children aged four to six often present compliance issues. They don’t like sitting for extended periods. They don’t like having dental work done. They don’t like appliances in their mouth.

The Rick-A-Nator is an ideal option in such cases. Lap springs can be added to correct retroclined incisors and vertical elastics can be used to reduce treatment time.

That means drastically increased compliance, comfort and results -- even among your most difficult patients. To find a lab that manufactures the kid-friendly Rick-A-Nator, contact SML Global.
