It typically consists of two separate plates (upper and lower) with angled bite blocks that posture the lower jaw forward. It is commonly used in growing patients to help manage certain Class II bite patterns (often called an \u201coverbite\/overjet\u201d presentation). It is made and adjusted by dental professionals as part of an orthodontic treatment plan."}
