The elaboration of the device started on the one side of the lip retractor, then a first fold was done and after that another fold in the right angle was done in which the wire went down to continue forming a stainless steel strong crossbow-like pattern. After this has been done the lip retractor of the other side was done. Results: The device has a single size hence, it can be used in other fields of dentistry such as Dental Surgery and Endodontics.
