Lower Lingual Arch

There are 48 activations on the standard RPE; each activation is equal to 1/4 millimeter.

Ordont™ carries most manufacturers' screws. They include Leone, Dentaurum, Forestadent, Super Screw, and Summit.

Ordont™ was the inventor of the RES (Ratcheting Expansion Screw). We also offer the Dentaurum "Click", and the Forestadent "Snap-Lock".

The Dentaurum MiniPalex Screw (also known as the Variety) is the most commonly-used expansion screw.

It has 12 millimeters of expansion capability and is half the size of the traditional RPE screws.

The Rapid Molar Distalizer has proven to be a very effective distalizing appliance. The distalization is controlled by the expansion screws in 1/4 millimeter increments.

The standard cage-style thumb habit works on most patients. We also make the rake style for the determined thumb habit patients.

We use the vertical habit cage with a pearl in the vault of the palate. This will stop the tongue habit and also retrain the tongue.

At Ordont™, we fit bands, crowns, and ROC "Removed Occlusal Crowns" on about 60% of all the metal appliances we construct. This saves time for the doctors and staff.

The Lower Fixed Expander is the most commonly used lower expansion appliance. The Quad Helix, Frozat, and J.I. Williams expander are frequently requested as well.
