What does a distal jet appliance do? ›

The Distal Jet appliance is effective to distalize the maxillary first molars, but promotes increase in mandibular plane angle, distal inclination, extrusion and distalization of maxillary second molars, mesialization of maxillary first premolars, proclination and protrusion of maxillary incisors, and increase in ...

The Schwarz appliance is used in orthodontics to provide expansion and attain normal occlusal function. A narrow arch is a common orthodontic problem that can lead to severe crowding if left untreated.

Catlan's appliance, a low jaw inclined plane, is based on Newton's 3rd law of motion. This appliance generates a slight lingual movement in the mandibular teeth, while generating labial movement in the maxillary teeth.

The Herbst appliance is a fixed appliance which functions like an artificial joint between the maxilla and the mandible.

Initially after having the Distal Jet fitted, you may notice that your speech is slightly altered. This is completely normal and temporary. We recommend reading out loud or even talking a little bit more to help improve your speech.

The Catlan's appliance (Lower Inclined Bite Plane) works on the principle of Newton's third law of motion, the resin slope functions to tip an anterior tooth labially while the mandibular tooth is tipped slightly in the lingual direction [21].

It is a custom-fitted device that gently alters the shape and position of your hard palate and lower jaw, similar to how braces alter the position of your teeth over time. As your palate widens and your jaw moves forward, your upper airway will have more space.

Halterman appliance provides a lever arm distal to the impaction which enables force application. In this case we have successfully uprighted two permanent mandibular first molars with this appliance.

Orthodontic Nance Appliance

The Nance appliance consists of a curved arch that is fitted to the roof of your child's mouth and then connected to the back teeth to set the molars in place while the other permanent teeth come in.

A Hawley retainer is a common type of orthodontic retainer. It consists of a rigid plastic or acrylic plate connected by a thin metal wire. This retainer is designed to fit comfortably on the palate, with the wire positioned against the front of the upper teeth.

What is the Denholtz appliance also known as? ›

Lip bumper in maxillary arch is known as Denholtz appliance.

What is MARA? MARA is a fixed orthodontic appliance, it is “fixed” in place and cannot be removed by the patient. This specific orthodontic appliance works to move the patient's lower jaw forward so that the top and bottom teeth will meet.

It can be used to move single teeth, units of teeth or an entire arch. It can deliver functional, bite jumping forces, headgear-like forces, elastic-like forces, or a combination of these. The element of control is the most important advantage of the Jasper Jumper.

The Herbst "bite jumping" appliance is used to enhance the growth of the lower jaw in a forward direction. It can also be designed to apply pressure to the upper jaw in a backwards direction. This appliance helps to correct the front-to-back relationship of the upper and lower jaws.

It rotates and uprights the first molars while moving the canines or premolars to molars into the correct position. It does this through applying a light consistent pressure to the teeth so that they can move independently as a unit.

Myofunctional appliances use the facial muscles and masticatory muscles to produce changes in the relation of teeth or arches. This means that these appliances aim to utilize, eliminate or guide the forces arising from muscle function, tooth eruption and growth in order to alter skeletal and dental relationships.

Bite plate is usually used to correct deep overbite in adults by allowing the posterior teeth to extrude. However bite plate should be used cautiously because of undesirable side effects related to TMJ, musculature and poor stability of attained result.

An anterior bite plane (ABP) is an orthodontic appliance that prevents posterior teeth from making contact. This appliance's functional concept is to reduce muscle activity, overcome deep overbite, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders (TMD).
