C-Shaped plastic cheek retractors are intended for use in professional teeth whitening & dental procedures. The design effectively pulls lips and cheeks away from the teeth and front of mouth, holding them in place and leaving teeth and gums exposed for treatment. When using high-strength teeth whitening gel, it is imperative that the lips and gums are not exposed to residual teeth whitening gel. Using a cheek retractor eliminated the possibility of skin irritation due to peroxide exposure. This product may be blue or clear plastic, depending on availability.
