Which appliances require an opposing arch?

To guarantee the fit of the appliance, we will require a scan or model for both arches for the following appliances:

  • Any splint
  • Habit appliances i.e. tongue crib, thumb guard
  • Appliances with pontics
  • Appliances with bite plates: Incline and posterior. Anterior bite plates only require the opposing arch when asking for a particular overbite amount
