[QUOTE="wirebender1956, post: 106385, member: 10260"] Bonding pads were along my line of thinking as well. I intend to weld a short piece of 045 tube to each pad and put a wire with stops through the tube which will allow the wire to rotate in the tube but not come out. This wil allow the teeth to tip when we pull laterally on them from the buccal. I am thinking of hooks out of heavy acrylic on the buccal of the mandible that are long enough to allow the doc to adjust the height as the teeth tip buccally to keep the power chains near the center of rotation. Sorry I haven't had time to do an rough drawings yet... We are slammed at work cases 3 deep as far as you can see and I am training a new tech at the same time. When I get home, more work is the last thing on my mind. At this point, I don't have models because the girl will have to be hospitalized to even get impressions. We have a rather long relationship with this doc. He does pro bono work with retarded and handicapped children with severe dental problems and we do the lab work for him pro bono. A year or so ago we worked with him on a case for a young boy who was literally chewing his fingers off. We were a last resort...if we couldn't keep his fingers out of his bite plane, they were going to have to extract all of his teeth. We designed "fixed/removable" cage of sorts that must have worked because he still has his teeth. I do like the interesting cases. [/QUOTE]
