INTRODUCTION
The uniquely designed Nite-guide appliances can straighten teeth
in over 90% of 5 to 7 year old patients just while they sleep.
INTRODUCTION continued
Her lower erupting adult centrals are already overlapped and will
probably become even more crowded when the wider adult lat-
erals begin to erupt.

This 6 mm. overjet will carry over into her adult dentition.

Heather’s overjet has also been eliminated due to the function of the
Nite-Guide appliance which encourages lower jaw advancement.

INTRODUCTION continued
The Nite-Guide appliance design restricts the adult anteriors
from over erupting and keeps them level with the posterior teeth,
thereby preventing the development of a deep adult overbite.
INTRODUCTION continued
She still has an ideal Class I occlusion, with a perfect overbite and
overjet, and no crowding in the lower.

She has been out of retention for 3 years.
Since the periodontal fibers are disjoined during the adult incisal
eruption stage, orthodontic corrections are obtained by only pas-
sive wear of the Nite-Guide, which easily guides the incoming teeth.

Incoming Teeth
Once the adult incisors have fully erupted these periodontal fibers
join to lock in an ideal occlusion rather than a malocclusion, which
in many cases can result in extraction’s with full fixed appliances
and high percentage of relapse.
