The basis of the appliance is fastened on hangers soldered on the fixed part through lingual-vestibular arches (see, Fig2.)  with braces(see, Fig1.) Activation of springs of the obturators basis in the vertical direction promotes the formation of palatal  cupula.  If necessary, the obturator  may be provided with artificial teeth.
