The Ultradent Products Umbrella lips, cheek, and tongue retractor has been designed and tested for patient comfort and quick, easy placement, according to the company. Keeping the balance of a stable retractor that gives the patient a serene, relaxing experience is no meager task, Ultradent said. It took years of research and development to get the precise dimensions and architecture to be anatomically correct, the company said.
This retractor keeps the patient’s mouth open in the 2- to 3-mm range, so it’s comfortable and doesn’t strain the muscles, Ultradent said. The name Umbrella refers to the easy way the retractor pops open in the patient’s mouth, according to the company. Clinicians press the two tabs together, slip it inside the mouth, and pop. The Umbrella retractor eases itself around soft tissues, providing optimal access and offering the tongue a relaxing place to settle, Ultradent said. The tongue is gently raised to the roof of the mouth, the company continued, resulting in easy swallowing and easy access.
