The Winning Tongue Plate Half Cheek Bit with Normal Plate has a joint and arms that do not hinge downward — per the manufacturer that prevents pain to the roof of the mouth, the tongue and the bars. An 11 mm low-profile gear casing keeps the mechanism from rubbing the roof, and the flat plate prevents pinching, reducing bit pressure by 85% per the manufacturer.
