Special features

It does not require removal
of the bracket or archwire
for placement. Maintains
a consistent level of force
throughout treatment.
The coaxial spring design
addresses the issue of
fatigue failure. Open-coil
spring assembly design
aids in hygiene and allows
food to be brushed out of
the device easily. Compact.
Does not bow outward when
compressed. Two attachment
module options. Independent
left and right components
that can be installed
unilaterally, if desired.

One-piece design for easy
application. Ball-andsocket design provides
unrestricted movement for
better patient comfort. Low
profile for increased patient
acceptance and comfort.
Telescoping mechanism
will not disengage like
traditional Herbst, reducing
emergency appointments.

This appliance can be
used either before or in
conjunction with braces.
Its minimal parts, compact
design, and location make
it ideal for treating Class II
cases of all ages. Options
can include expansion
screws and a selection of
crown and band varieties.

Aqualizers have a built-in
water balancing and
equilibration for automatic
bite correction. The jaw
is free to float into a
functionally generated
comfortable centric relation.
