Molar distalization and uprighting
Accurate Solutions for Complex Treatments
Uprighting first and second molars and distalizing molars are among the most common orthodontic procedures. While often essential, these procedures pose complex challenges for treatment teams and frequently demand additional corrective measures.
Together with Prof. Dr. F. G. Sander, a pioneer in this field, we have created two innovative tools that make these challenging orthodontic procedures easier and more precise.
Our products not only facilitate treatment but also create the basis for lasting treatment results – precisely, efficiently and safely.
Molar distalization
Effective space creation without extractions.
1st molar uprighting
Correcting tilted or misaligned molars to improve occlusion.
2nd molar uprighting and alignment
Optimizing tooth position and occlusal function by precisely uprighting and aligning molars.
The Memory Titanol® spring
One possible solution
For uprighting molars is our Memory Titanol® spring, which allows you to upright the first molars in a controlled manner. Depending on the activation, you can apply either an extrusive or intrusive force to the tooth simultaneously. This saves you the additional step of leveling after uprighting and saves valuable time.
Leveling spring
One possible solution
For second molars, our leveling spring is an option. It supports the targeted uprighting of inward tilted teeth, while at the same time effecting a derotation – and all without the need for time-consuming reactivation.
Frog II appliance
A possible solution
For molar distalization, our Frog II appliance, created in collaboration with Dr. Kevin Walde, provides the perfect solution. It is securely anchored using our OrthoEasy® screws and activated in the same way as an expansion screw.
The force of this screw is transmitted via the spring legs to the lingual cleats welded to the bands. By carefully adjusting the loops at the end of the springs, you can effectively counteract unwanted rotation and tipping and achieve precise molar distalization.
