Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze the importance and applicability of ARMflex® in the odontological area and its influence in preventing or stopping the involuntary habit of improperly positioning the hand under the face or under the pillow. The ergonomic usage of ARMflex® influences the design in odontological areas and innovates in the semi-immobilization of the patient to prevent future orthodontic problems.
