Explanation:
"retention arch" yields nil relevant hits. Thus, "retention arch" is not in common use. Could "tandställning" (="brace") be intended?

gomplatta


Explanation:
jag gissar att det handlar om en gomplatta, i samband med protesbygge.

Käkortopedi används vid behandling av gomspalt. Länken nedan beskriver en sådan behandlingsvariant.
