Produktbeschreibung
Two of the most common problems encountered by orthodontist are crowding and protrusion of teeth. A primary factor in dental crowding is often maxillary transverse or sagittal deficiency. Expansion is a means of gaining space with the added advantage of being a conservative procedure. Expansion can be done in an antero-posterior direction, lateral direction or a combination.
