The 3-way screw is designed for both widening and lengthening the arch, with the anterior section directing forces forward via the incisors. An alternative design uses three distinct screws: one for widening and two in the sagittal plane for posterior distalization. For optimal retention, Adams clasps on the 6’s (if present) and ball clasps between premolars are recommended. Additional features include a labial bow for anterior control and a posterior bite plate, bolstering anchorage for the upper appliance.

Custom-made for precision, our Clear Fusion Hybrid Retainers offer the discreetness of "invisible appliances" ideal for post-orthodontic retention. Merging the aesthetics and comfort of invisible retainers with the durability and efficacy of Hawley-type retainers, they represent the pinnacle of retainer innovation.

The Phase 1 Hawley is designed for retaining the arch post-expansion and after initial treatment. It focuses on securing the incisors and first molars. We offer variations: a 2-2 bow (with or without a loop) or a 3-3 bow with lateral spurs. Adams clasps ensure retention while accommodating deciduous teeth shedding. Lingual acrylic relief in the premolar area is advised.

The Schwartz appliance addresses narrow arch issues in orthodontics, preventing severe crowding and ensuring normal occlusal function. It's vital for correcting and preventing anterior or posterior crossbites, especially in younger patients whose dental development is still ongoing.

The 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.
