My last one was okay but I didn’t realize that it can be done better and apply greater force it i just reinvented the wheel; the copeandrope appliance.
This one keeps the original design, but eliminates the painful acrylic swoosh that irritated my gums and made the appliance from an engineering standpoint weak.
It’s just using some 12 gauge steel wire that has been shaped to fit in the palate and provide a more comfortable and practical appliance. This appliance does not interfere with the teeth and puts all the pressure on the palate. I put it in and I feel the irritation from the previous appliance, but better.
