The Morelli Stainless Steel Bite-Builder is a bonded orthodontic accessory whose main function is to reduce the impact of the upper teeth on the lower brackets. It works by opening up the bite, keeping the occlusion clear of the lower appliance while re-educating and resting the muscles. Its convex base adapts to the lingual morphology of the anterior teeth for a strong, impact-resistant hold.
Key Features
Bite opening — raises the occlusion so the upper teeth no longer strike the lower appliance
Bracket protection — limits occlusal impact and reduces bracket detachment on the lower arch
Muscle re-education — rests and re-educates the muscles while the bite is held open
Convex base — contoured to the lingual anatomy of the anterior teeth for full adaptation
Single-body construction — molded-in stainless steel, strong and impact-resistant
Easy installation — direct bonding with standard adhesive technique
