What is a cheek retractor?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Typically, a cheek retractor<\/a> serves two purposes: it pulls tissue away to expose an area that needs dental work, and it keeps the tissue in a retracted position during the procedure. In the past, dental assistants have worked as manual retractors for dentists, but today most professionals rely on products so that they have plenty of space to work unencumbered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
