WILLIAMS EXPANDER

The Williams Expander specializes in lower arch expansion. Laser-welded tubes on the lingual bars house a Ni-Ti wire, aiding in anterior rounding during expansion. Incorporating occlusal rests is advised. Each expander comes with a custom swivel key, featuring an integrated activation tracker on the handle.
