Weird Dentistry Instruments Name

Hello Guys

Could anyone give me the correct name for the instrument that dentists use to keep your mouth open and your lips off your gums whilst they are working on you. I have tried google but to no avail.

Thanks

" You don't have to worry about the glue when you get the brackets on, they will put a plastic cheek stretcher in your mouth to hold it open (basically just a piece of plastic you bite down on so you don't have to remember to open your mouth. It also will have plastic that..." - from google
