Loose & colorful braces for kids
Tooth straightening with removable braces
Gap holder / Placeholderr
Each milk tooth also serves as a placeholder for the following permanent tooth. If you lose a milk tooth prematurely because of cavities, an inflammation or an accident, a substitute must be provided.
This appliance is removable and is only worn at night. It keeps the gap open for the permanent tooth yet to come.
The space maintainer has no active elements for tooth or jaw correction.
Active plate
The active plate is a removable appliance with spring elements for tooth movement or screws to lengthen the jaw.
A stretching time of at least 16 hours per day is recommended to produce the optimal result.
To move the screws, our patients receive two positioning keys: one straight and one bent.
The springs are activated by the dental staff.
Bite jumper
This appliance is an orthodontic function device. It works by controlling the growth of the jaw parts and adjusting the tongue, chewing and lip functions.
The bite jumper used by Adentics has two bars to shift the lower jaw forward, and a screw in both jaws to stretch them. Usually, only the screws in the upper jaw have to be affixed.
Activators
This appliance is an orthodontic function device. It works by controlling growth of the jaw parts and adjusting the tongue, chewing and lip functions.
The devices used at ADENTICS: flexible-open activator, the Bionator, and the Berliner activator.
Frankel functional appliance
This appliance is an orthodontic function device. It works by controlling the growth of the jaw parts and adjusting the tongue, chewing and lip functions.
At first sight it looks quite large, but in fact they offer maximum comfort since the movement of the tongue is not restricted.
Retention appliance / Retention braces
These appliances/braces are used after the conclusion of an active orthodontic treatment and serve to protect the treated tooth and jaw position. Retaining clips are usually worn only at night.
Since teeth, unfortunately, change their position all through one’s life, retaining clips should also be worn all through one’s life. As an adult, wearing them occasionally (2 nights a week) is generally sufficient.
