fixed appliances
Precision-fabricated fixed orthodontic appliances for orthodontists & dental practices, designed for accurate fit, reliable performance, and efficient case management.
hyrax
Expands the upper jaw by applying pressure through a central screw, creating space and correcting issues like crossbites and crowding.
Flea
A removable appliance designed to correct bite issues, particularly open bites or to assist with the movement of teeth.
bonded hyrax
Expands the upper jaw by applying pressure through a central screw mechanism, with acrylic caps bonded to the teeth for enhanced stability and even force distribution during palatal expansion.
nance
Maintains space in the upper arch by connecting to the molars and resting against the palate. Prevents molar shifting, commonly used after extractions.
quad helix
Used to expand the upper dental arch; it consists of a metal wire with four loops anchored to the molars to gradually widen the arch and create more space for the teeth.
IPC E-Arch
Fixed appliance used to widen the dental arch and correct bite issues, applying gentle pressure to align teeth and address problems like cross bites or crowding.
Lingual Arch
Consists of a wire that runs along the inside (lingual) surface of the lower teeth, typically secured with bands around the molars.
Fixed Ricknator
A fixed appliance used to correct bite issues, such as overbites or underbites, by repositioning the jaws to improve bite alignment and function.
Fixed Sagittal 3Way
A fixed appliance that corrects overbites and underbites by adjusting the upper and lower jaws in three directions, promoting proper bite alignment.
Pedo Partial
Designed to replace missing primary teeth, maintain proper spacing for permanent teeth, support speech and chewing development, and prevent the shifting of adjacent teeth until permanent teeth emerge.
Transpalatal Arch (TPA)
Designed to span across the roof of the mouth to stabilize the upper molars. It helps maintain space, prevent tooth shifting, and can assist with mild arch expansion.
Bluegrass
Used to help break thumb-sucking and tongue-thrust habits; it features a free-spinning roller that redirects tongue activity and encourages improved tongue positioning.
Bihelix
Used to expand the lower dental arch; it consists of a wire with two helical coils attached to molar bands to create space and help upright the molars.
keyless expander
Used to widen a narrow upper jaw; it features a built-in activation arm that advances the expansion screw without requiring a separate key, simplifying activation and improving patient comfort.
band & loop
Maintains space after the premature loss of a primary tooth; a metal band fits around an adjacent tooth while a wire loop preserves the opening for the permanent tooth.
Fixed anterior biteplate
Used to widen a narrow upper jaw; it features a built-in activation arm that advances the expansion screw without requiring a separate key, simplifying activation and improving patient comfort.
Haas
Used to widen a constricted upper jaw; this tooth-and-tissue-supported expander combines a central expansion screw with acrylic palatal pads and bands on the posterior teeth to distribute force across the teeth and palate.
Mini Hyrax
Used to widen a constricted upper jaw and correct posterior crossbites; its compact, tooth-supported design uses a central expansion screw connected to two molar bands for controlled rapid maxillary expansion.
Fan Expander
Used to widen the anterior portion of a constricted upper arch while limiting expansion in the molar region; its posterior hinge creates a fan-shaped opening that increases intercanine width.
Halterman
Used to upright and guide an ectopically erupting permanent first molar; a distal extension from a banded primary molar engages an elastic chain attached to a bonded button on the permanent molar to apply distal traction.
rick-a-nator
Used to help correct Class II malocclusion with increased overjet and deep overbite; its fixed maxillary acrylic incline guides the mandible forward while separating the posterior teeth to encourage eruption.
Lip Bumper
Appliance used to push the lips outward, allowing the teeth to align more naturally and preventing further dental crowding.
William
Used to develop the lower arch and relieve anterior crowding during early mixed dentition; an expansion screw widens the posterior arch while a nickel-titanium wire slides through lingual tubes to help align the incisors.
