About Blue-covered Molt mouth gags

Our Molt mouth gags hold the mouth open during professional dental and oral-surgical work, and they come in three sizes so you can match the instrument to the patient and the procedure. Each gag has ring handles, a hinge, a ratchet and blue-covered contact ends.

Three sizes to compare

  • 10 cm: head span 3.5 cm.
  • 12 cm: head span 4 cm.
  • 14 cm: head span 6 cm.

The first figure is the nominal overall length of the instrument. The head span is the nominal horizontal width across the head in its documented position, which gives a practical sense of how the three sizes step up. Opening the gag with the ratchet then sets the working opening within each instrument's range.

How the Molt design works

The ring handles move the hinged arms apart, and the ratchet holds them in the position you select, so the opening stays steady without constant pressure on the handles. The blue covers sit over the contact ends where the gag meets the teeth.

That mechanism is what sets a Molt gag apart from a bite block or mouth prop, which simply rests between the teeth at a fixed height, and from a cheek retractor, which moves soft tissue aside rather than holding the jaws apart.

Ordering

Tell us the size or sizes you need, 10, 12 or 14 cm, and the quantity of each, and we will quote them. If you would rather have a small, medium and large Molt gag together as one set, see our Molt mouth gag set.

Dental Mouth Gags, Props and Retractors Questions

Which nominal Molt mouth-gag sizes are listed?

The smaller form is 10 cm overall with a 3.5 cm horizontal head span, the middle form is 12 cm with a 4 cm span, and the larger form is 14 cm with a 6 cm span. These are size comparisons for the blue-covered forms.

Is the head-span value the maximum mouth-gag opening?

No. Here, head span is the horizontal dimension across the head in the documented instrument position. Maximum opening, clear interpad gap, pad width and jaw depth are different measurements, so use the named dimension when you compare a size requirement.

What does the ratchet contribute to a Molt mouth gag?

The ratchet retains a selected instrument position in the hinged, ring-handled arrangement, which makes it a construction feature of an adjustable mechanical gag. These forms also have blue-covered contact ends; cover color and cover material are separate attributes.

What is the difference between a mouth gag and a cheek retractor?

A mouth gag maintains mouth opening, while a cheek retractor primarily moves soft tissue away from the working area. Commercial names can overlap, so compare the actual working form and intended instrument role when you select between them.

How does a Molt gag differ from a block-style mouth prop?

A Molt gag has hinged arms and ring handles with an adjustable retaining mechanism, while a block-style prop is a passive block form. They are different mechanical arrangements, so a common mouth-opening purpose does not make their size descriptions or construction equivalent.
