This Lip Protector is a flexible clear lip bumper shield that covers the front of your brackets from one end of your mouth to the other, protecting your lips and gums. The outside of the device is smooth, and the inside contains soft flexible double hooks that attach to your arch wire. If the hooks don't align perfectly with the spaces between your brackets, you can cut them off with scissors to create a custom fit. Caution: may present a choking hazard if used while sleeping.
The Lip Protector is a great choice for musicans or people who play sports where a mouthguard is not necessary, but comfort and protection from laceration is a factor. It's also a great product for "braces newbies" who desire a little extra help in those first uncomfortable weeks of orthodontic treatment. This product works best on smaller brackets and arch wires that are relatively straight, horizontally (may pop off if your brackets are very crooked across the teeth).
