A hands-free, self-retaining frame intended to be used in the home by a patient to retract the lips/cheeks to facilitate viewing of the teeth (e.g., to allow photographs to be taken and sent to a healthcare professional). It is a synthetic polymer device designed to be placed in and around the lips/cheeks; it is not intended to be placed between the teeth (i.e., not a mouth gag). This is a reusable device.
