  • Patent number: 8784101
    Abstract: An improved retractor device which includes a first main flat arm portion for extending along the outer surface of a patients cheek, that can be grasped by the dentist or hygienist performing the procedure; (or even in some cases, the patient); a second arm that extends into the mouth in use and is attached to the main arm at an acute angle of approximately fifty degrees and having that connecting area gently curved convexly from upper lip to lower lip and concavely from the intraoral to the extraoral portions so as to present a atraumatic surface to oral commissure, and the intraoral arm being convex as it extends to the posterior part of the mouth and getting narrower as it goes posteriorly and ending in a high convex end portion that extends behind the last tooth to reflect the cheek outwardly and posteriorly to produce an increased volume of space for conducting the dental procedure in a dry field and with greater and better comfort, access and visualization.
