The Dental Directory has introduced two new retractors to their orthodontic range. The Lip Ring Retractor has a unique rolled front to shield the patient's lips, making it ideal for interproximal reduction techniques. It can be sized for either adults or children and is made of high quality medical grade plastic. The working field can be accessed with ease and minimal discomfort for the patient, making it ideal for bonding and intra-oral photography. The second new product is a photo lip retractor, Retract EEZ, which can be used as an aid for occlusal photography as well as during bleaching procedures since its design moves the patient's lips to allow maximum exposure. It can be cold or heat sterilised up to 143°C.
