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.
