Place the clutch in the patient's mouth and bend the
wings to fit on the lower tooth arch. Allow 1-2 mm of
space between the teeth and the clutch, for the plastic.
Place a wax plate between the upper and lower teeth,
and have the patient bite down. The wax plate prevents
the plastic from flowing onto the upper teeth, and elimin-
ates the tiresome job of having to polish the clutch's
plastic surface.
Prepare the composite according to the manufacturer's
information.
Coat the surface of the clutch, which should be facing
the labial and buccal teeth, with a 2 mm thick layer of
plastic. Wait until the material begins to set.
Place the clutch in the patient's mouth and instruct the
patient to close, without allowing the upper teeth to
touch the clutch (check this).
The clutch shaft should lie in the median sagittal plane.
Wait until the material has set, then remove the clutch
from the patient's mouth.
