    SCHWARZ INSTRUCTIONS

    OBJECTIVE: A removable expander used to correct crowding of the lower front teeth.

    WEAR: 24 hours a day unless instructed otherwise. Make sure to seat the expander fully, it
    should not rock or bounce. If the expander is in the mouth, but not seated fully, proper
    expansion will not occur.

    EATING: The Schwarz should not be worn while eating and should be removed to
    brush.

    CLEANING: The Schwarz should be brushed with a toothbrush and toothpaste. It may also
    be soaked in any denture cleaning product such as Efferdent or Polident.

    STORAGE: While the Schwarz is not in your mouth it should ALWAYS be kept in its
    case. Never wrap your Schwarz in a napkin or leave it on a lunch tray.

    EXPANSION: Your Schwarz has expansion screws and should be activated two times per
    week.

    ULCERS OR PRESSURE POINTS: If you develop an ulcer or sore spot on your


    gums from the Schwarz, please call the office and we will be happy to adjust it for you. If
    possible, please continue to wear the appliance until you arrive at the office – this will help in
    locating the problem area and prevent loss of progress.

    IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO WEAR THE APPLIANCE DUE TO ULCERS – DO


    NOT CONTINUE TO TURN THE SCREW.

    CAUTION: Playing with the front expansion screw with your tongue will cause
    your lower Schwartz to unwind. Please DO NOT do this!
