description Patient discomfort due to the excessive length of the distractor rod is one of the disadvantages of alveolar distraction osteogenesis. Although this seems to be a minor complication, it can cause severe mucosal irritation on the opposite arch, and uncontrolled forces can lead to the loosening of the screws and the inactivation of the distractor. The purpose of this case report is to introduce an acrylic appliance that is very useful in avoiding the mucosal irritation caused by the long distractor rod. The appliance is simple, effective, and easy to fabricate.
