BioBiteCorrector® System
The BioBiteCorrector Hinge is a versatile mandibular protrusion hinge designed for the following BBC applications:
BioBiteCorrector versions MS (without compression spring) and SP (with compression
spring) have a screw connector. These versions can be screwed to a square wire.
BioBiteCorrector MS and SP versions are always placed interproximally due to their screw connectors. The screw connector is placed between the canine and the 1st premolar in the lower jaw, and between the 1st molar and the 2nd premolar in the upper jaw.
The BioBiteCorrector® SP supports the advancement of the lower jaw with an internal coil spring. The BBC MS works based on the functional principles of the Herbst-appliance and therefore does not have an internal coil spring.
The BioBiteCorrector SA (without internal spring) and the BioBiteCorrector FA (with internal spring) designs have a flat wire connector. This connector can be directly polymerized into resin or fixed on special tubes (see BioBiteCorrector Herbst appliance).
Thanks to the flat wire connector, the BioBiteCorrector SA and FA versions are placed centrally on the 1st premolar in the lower jaw and on the 1st molar in the upper jaw.
So these connectors do not have to be placed interproximally, like the screw connectors of the BBC SP and MS.
The BioBiteCorrector® FA supports the advancement of the lower jaw with an internal coil spring. The BBC SA works based on the functional principles of the Herbst-appliance and therefore does not have an internal coil spring.
