What are Obturators ?

Obturators are specialized dental prosthetics designed to restore the function and esthetics of the oral cavity by closing defects in the hard or soft palate. These devices are custom-made to fit comfortably and securely, helping patients regain the ability to speak, eat, and maintain proper oral hygiene. Obturators can be constructed from various materials, including acrylic and silicone, to ensure a natural appearance and durability.
Commonly used for:

  • Restoring function for patients with cleft palate or other congenital defects
  • Enhancing speech clarity and reducing nasal regurgitation
  • Improving oral hygiene by closing gaps and preventing food impaction
  • Supporting facial esthetics and boosting self-confidence
