What is a small c shape cheek retractor?

It gently holds the cheeks and lips away from the teeth, ensuring that dental professionals or cosmetic specialists have a clear, unobstructed view of the oral cavity and can work precisely without interference.

Key benefits of using a cheek retractor

Incorporating a small c shape cheek retractor into dental, orthodontic or cosmetic workflows offers several advantages:

• Hygienic and reusable: Made from materials that are easy to clean and disinfect between uses, supporting professional standards.

How to use your small c shape cheek retractor

Using the small c shape cheek retractor is simple and straightforward. Before insertion, ensure your hands and the retractor are clean and sterilised.

During the procedure, avoid forcing the device further than necessary to ensure optimum comfort. Remove gently once the treatment is complete.

Who can benefit from this dental tool?

This cheek retractor is ideal for dental professionals, orthodontists, cosmetic practitioners and even individuals performing at-home teeth whitening treatments. Whether you’re a clinician seeking better access during procedures or someone using dental photography tools at home, a small c shape cheek retractor helps achieve clearer results with ease.
