VISIONBUTLER
As a clinician, the benefits of lip and cheek retraction in dentistry are obvious and no one solution fits all needs.
VisionButler provides a viable new improved option that gives an effective and efficient solution to the well used single-use disposable retractor.
The idea was born from developing a photocontrastor for photography and developed to a lip and cheek retractor that could be sterilised and re-used, reducing the cost to the clinician and the environment.
The Function of a Dental Photocontrastor
A dental Photoconstrastor is traditionally considered as a lingual plate to “isolate” the teeth from the tissues behind with a uniform colour ( usually a black finish ).
This “masking” of the teeth, allows for a consistent comparison from one photograph to another. eg without the background of the tongue present or not.
The VisionButler provides:
• Comfortable retraction of the lips with the mouth open of closed.
• A black satin finish to Isolate the labial tissues ( lip and cheek ) and leave a clear view of the teeth gingival tissues and buccal corridor
• The VisionButler is a new pliable, comfortable, reusable, autoclavable, soft satin black silicon, retentive lip and cheek retractor.
• The buccal “wings” hold the cheeks away from the teeth and the labial flanges physically hold the lips away from the teeth and prevent the retractor slipping even when the patient closes.
Did you know if you use 10 single use retractors 20 days a month, 12 months a year @ 1.50 Euro each time, this adds upto 3,600 Euro a year.
Tested to over 1,000 cycles a single VisionButler (98.00 euro) is equivalent to 12 boxes of 80 single use retractors )

Every patient is different and sometimes it will work better the upturn the VisionButler ( top to bottom) . The variation in inner lip flange will engage the frame differently.
