The cheek retractor is an indispensable aid in the field of orthodontics. It is of great importance for moisture control as well as for the provision of a clear field of view during intraoral photography. In this report, we present an innovative technique to modify the cheek retractor for simultaneous use of suction and high volume evacuation during the bonding procedure. Moreover, the use of the same cheek retractor for photographic purposes has been made possible with this modification. This modification leads to better patient comfort and minimal inventory.
