The interplay between the intraoral and extra oral muscles plays a major role in stability and position of dentition and surrounding structures. This equilibrium is affected by oral habits. Oral habits play a major role in the development of malocclusion and also affect the surrounding hard and soft tissues. To minimize their effects, it is important to intercept the habit as soon as possible which will in turn reduce the treatment time with fixed orthodontics. To do so, an appliance is constructed which can treat a combination of problems simultaneously.
