SpaceCHQR

The SpaceCHQR device is a series of medical grade stainless steel gauges of specific thicknesses which allow both patients and dental health care professionals to measure the distances between teeth down to a 10 micron (0.01mm) tolerance. Gauge Widths: The Green Gauge is 50 microns(0.05mm) The Amber Gauge is 40 microns (0.04mm) The Red Gauge is 30 microns (0.03mm) This is a particularly useful device as it verifies: (1) if too much space exists between teeth (a food trap) or (2) if there is insufficient space to allow for tooth movement during orthodontic treatment. ▼Clinical indications Checking for Food traps with SPACE CHQR: The patient simply slides the gauge down between the teeth: if the largest, the Green Gauge (50 microns) can enter, then the patient is often aware that an irritating and potentially problematic space exists that needs attention in the clinic. Ideally, only the 30 micron gauge should be able to fit in between teeth. Clear Aligner Orthodontic use for SPACE CH
