description <strong>Background</strong>: Apart from the instruments used to work and develop adequate treatments, there are some other instruments in General Dentistry and in Orthodontics in particular, called auxiliary instruments or accessories that help to get a better view of surgical field. A capable surgeon appreciates good instruments and recognizes their urgent need in an efficient way. <br /><strong>Objective</strong>: To show a new device to work in the oral cavity. <strong><br />Methods</strong>: the device which was made of 1,8 mm stainless steal wires is 0,61 meters long . For its construction universal forceps 003-180 for facial arcs and 003-233 heavy corrugated forceps were used. The elaboration of the device started on the one side of the lip retractor, then a first fold was done and after that another fold in the right angle was done in which the wire went down to continue forming a stainless steel strong crossbow-like pattern. After this has been done the lip retractor of the other side was done. <strong><br />Results</strong>: The device has a single size hence, it can be used in other fields of dentistry such as Dental Surgery and Endodontics. Although the device is a standard unit, it has three main parts: two lip retractors joined to a resort or crossbow –like pattern. <strong><br />Conclusions</strong>: This device makes easier the inspection of the oral cavity, has a standard size. It can be used in different fields of dentistry with great economic advantages.
