Testimonials

"Many have tried to develop a good easy to use device for parents after release of the lingual frenum. Tongue Guide Home satisfies everything we need and want. Easy to use, comfortable and good for parents concerned about placing their fingers into their baby's mouth. For the surgeon doing these releases, Tongue Guide Pro is kinder, gentle yet firm and strong for controlling tongue movements during laser releases. The perfectly designed instrument to retract, elevate or move the tongue for speech pathologists, Myofunctional therapists, lactation and speech therapists, ENTS, and dentists. Both the Tongue Guide Pro and Home Instruments have made the surgical procedure more comfortable for infants, toddlers, children, and adults."

-Dr. Larry Kotlow
"85% of tissue pain and trauma post procedure is caused by harsh, metallic retraction which is largely preventable. Armor Dental is revolutionizing soft tissue management and post procedure patient care and recovery."
-Dr. Marcus Abboud
"Recently introduced Scan-Mate's fully adjustable and non-reflective instrument which definitively solves the problem. Scan-Mate allows me to quickly and clearly visualize the area to be scanned, helping to ensure accurate, crisp, and clean images."
-Dr. Scott Ganz
"I have known Cherie Le Penske and Armor Dental for many years now. They are innovative and manufacture the highest quality products. I don't scan without using ScanMate, their soft retraction instrument. It makes my workflow easier knowing my patients are more comfortable, which means I can scan a lot faster. I am excited about Armor's entire soft retraction portfolio in development."
-Dr. Isaac Tawil

Instructions For Use  - Armor Dental Soft Tissue Retractors
  • Before sterilization, instruments should be washed/disinfected and cleaned using your standard procedure to remove any debris. Using an enzyme-based detergent is preferred but not required. Avoid harsh disinfectants used for metal instruments especially Cavacide type wipes prior to autoclaving.
  • Wash and rinse instrument and place in sterilization bag.
  • Multiple instruments can be placed in a bag.
  • Sterilize in Statim or traditional autoclave on bagged cycle.
  • Autoclave at 250 F to 273 F on bagged setting for at least 20 minutes or per ADA guidelines. Latex Free.
  • Tongue Guide Pro, ScanMate and Comfort Soft are be used by dental and medical professionals and can be autoclaved 30 cycles.
  • Tongue Guide Pro -- As you reach a higher number of autoclave cycles, you will begin to notice some normal wear and tear on the material (minor discoloring or flaking). Discard when flaking after cycle times are met.
  • Tongue Guide Home is single use and used by parents to perform the proper exercises and lifting after a frenectomy. Not autoclavable.
  • MouthMate is single patient used for brushing and retracting. Not autoclavable.
  • ScanMate can be autoclaved 30 cycles and replaced after the normal wear and tear from the autoclave. 
  • Comfort Soft can be autoclaved and is meant to be used chairside and immediately given to patient to use at home for brushing and retracting.
  • ScanMate, MouthMate and Comfort Soft have bendable handles. To maximize use, gently bend the neck of the adjustable tip to desired angle for use and leave it in place. Increased bending frequency and bending to sharp angles beyond 60 degrees will shorten the useful life of the product.
