Palatal expanders
Snap Lock Expander A reliable solution for effective palatal expansion
The Snap Lock Expander ensures precise expansion of the palatal suture. A locking leaf spring prevents back-rotation, and the activation hole allows for easy reactivation. In case of over-activation, the screw can easily be turned back.Additionally, all models are available without arms, allowing for seamless integration with metal-printed support structures—offering a versatile solution for modern laboratory configurations.
Your benefits

Standard and Anatomic Expanders Different designs for individual requirements
I Along with the Snap Lock Expander, we provide a range of other palatal expansion screws in various designs and sizes, enabling precise customization for each treatment scenario.
Standard palatal split screws have arms on the underside of the screw body (towards the tongue), which may be necessary in narrow palates because the screw extends further into the oral cavity.
Anatomic expanders, in contrast, feature arms positioned on the upper side of the screw body (toward the palate), which allows the screw to sit deeper in the palate. This design enhances comfort by reducing protrusion into the oral cavity and positioning the screw closer to the soft tissue.
