Cheek retractors are dental accessories used to hold lips and cheeks away from the teeth and gums during procedures. They create a clear working area, allowing dentists to perform treatments with greater accuracy.
These instruments are widely used in orthodontics, cosmetic dentistry, restorative treatments, and dental photography. By maintaining hands-free retraction, cheek retractors help reduce procedure time and improve clinical efficiency.
Cheek retractors also enhance patient comfort by minimizing repeated manual retraction. Their smooth surfaces help prevent tissue irritation during use.
Depending on the procedure, cheek retractors may be reusable or disposable. High-quality retractors are designed to be durable, easy to clean, and comfortable for patients.
