Services
Distalization Appliances
Our distalization appliances provide precise molar movement without tipping or rotation using advanced spring systems and activation tools. These devices offer improved hygiene and patient comfort compared to traditional methods while maintaining exceptional accuracy. Designed for both maxillary and mandibular applications, our solutions include patented designs that simplify activation and enhance treatment outcomes.
Herbst Appliances
Custom Herbst appliances address Class II malocclusions with telescoping mechanisms that reduce tissue irritation and improve lateral jaw movement. Available with optional expansion components and habit cribs, these devices enable incremental mandibular advancement while maintaining patient comfort and treatment efficiency through precision-engineered mechanical systems.
Digital Workflow
Our digital workflow accepts STL files from leading intraoral scanners and processes them using 3Shape software for appliance design. This technology enables faster production times, reduced material waste, and enhanced accuracy compared to traditional methods while maintaining compatibility with major digital impression systems used by dental professionals.
Expansion Appliances
We manufacture rapid palatal expanders and quad helix appliances that correct transverse deficiencies using calibrated nickel titanium springs and precision screws. Our designs include tissue-borne and tooth-borne options with variable expansion capabilities, featuring patient-friendly profiles that minimize tongue interference and improve comfort.
Retention Solutions
Our retention portfolio includes bonded retainers, Essix clear aligners, and functional retainers designed for post-treatment stability. These solutions feature low-profile designs that enhance patient compliance while maintaining tooth position through customized wire configurations and thermoplastic materials that balance durability with aesthetic considerations.
