Appliances, Arch Development, Fixed ApplianceSagittal
$80.00The Sagittal Appliance is tailored to lengthen the arch, either by moving molars backward or pushing the anterior section forward, effectively addressing crowding. It features expansion screws aligned with the sagittal plane, with optional screws on each side. For optimal retention, Adams clasps on the 6’s (if present) and ball clasps between premolars are advised. Additional features include a labial bow for anterior control and a posterior bite plate, enhancing anchorage for the upper appliance. -
Appliances, RetentionMadibular Hawley with Adams
$63.00For optimal results, wear the appliance for 22 hours daily and clean with toothpaste to prevent plaque and odor. Steer clear of effervescent solutions like Efferdent, which might erode appliance components. Instead, consider using DentaSoak or Retainer Splash for maintenance. -
Appliances, RetentionMaxillary Hawley with Adams
$63.00The Hawley Retainer, equipped with soldered Adams clasps, primarily ensures the retention of anterior teeth. -
Appliances, ExpansionQUAD HELIX
$64.00The Quad Helix, made from .036 wire, is available as fixed or removable. Designed to expand the arch, it utilizes helices at its four corners and anterior lingual wires. Unlike pre-bent versions, ours are shaped from straight wire, ensuring tailored vault contouring without compromising wire integrity. Suitable for crossbites, mixed dentition, Class II and III cases, and cleft palate patients. Options include a tongue crib and facemask hooks. -
Appliances, Arch Development
Transverse
$80.00The Transverse Appliance effectively widens both upper and lower arches, addressing bilateral crossbites and anterior crowding. Given the force from the screw, robust clasping is advised. For optimal retention, we recommend Adams clasps on the 6’s (if present) and ball clasps between premolars. Additional features include a labial bow for anterior incisor control and a posterior bite plate, enhancing anchorage for the upper appliance. -

Appliances, Space MaintenancePalatal Crib with Omega Loop
$45.00This fixed appliance is designed to aid patients in overcoming thumb-sucking habits. Fabricated horizontally, it effectively prevents the thumb from contacting the palate's roof. For stability against thumb or tongue forces, occlusal rests for premolars can be laser welded. Additionally, the inclusion of omega loops allows for potential molar rotation, enhancing its versatility and effectiveness. -
Appliances, ExpansionW-ARCH APPLIANCE
$55.00The W-Arch, also known as the Porter appliance, is crafted from .036 wire. Activated by opening the apices, it offers adjustable anterior or posterior expansion. For optimal forces, manually open it 3-4 mm before insertion. Expansion should proceed at 2mm per month until the crossbite is fully corrected. -
Appliances, ExpansionE ARCH EXPANDER
$70.00Drawing inspiration from "The Mandibular E-Arch" by Neal Kravitz, the E-arch stands out as a fixed, spring-loaded expander tailored for the gradual expansion of both maxillary and mandibular arches. Initially designed for maxillary orthopedic expansion in cleft palate patients, its versatility shines in the mandible, where it can create up to 4-5 mm of arch space in the anterior region through orthodontic tipping and also distalize the first molars.
