Quadhelix
The Quadhelix appliance is commonly used in orthodontic cases where arch expansion, crossbite correction, or early intervention is required.
Benefits
Arch expansion: The primary function of the Quadhelix is to expand the dental arches. The helical loops or springs exert gentle and continuous forces on the teeth, gradually expanding the arch width. This can help correct crowding, create space for impacted or crowded teeth to align properly, and improve the overall balance and harmony of the dental arches.
Correcting crossbites: The Quadhelix can be effective in correcting both anterior and posterior crossbites. By exerting controlled forces, it helps align the upper and lower teeth into a more ideal bite relationship. This improves the functionality of the bite and reduces the risk of uneven tooth wear and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues.
Anchorage control: The Quadhelix appliance allows for selective movement of teeth while providing anchorage control. It minimizes the risk of unwanted tooth movement and maintains stability in the posterior region while facilitating desired tooth alignment in the anterior region.
Early intervention: The Quadhelix is often used in growing children and adolescents to address orthodontic issues at an early stage. It can guide dental development, correct minor crowding, and prevent the need for more extensive orthodontic treatment later in life.
Versatile and customizable: The Quadhelix appliance can be customized to suit the specific needs of each patient. It can be adjusted and modified to achieve the desired orthodontic outcomes, including arch expansion, crossbite correction, and space creation.
Efficient treatment: The Quadhelix appliance offers efficient treatment outcomes by combining arch expansion and tooth alignment in one device. It eliminates the need for separate appliances or treatment phases, resulting in shorter treatment duration and fewer dental appointments.
Recommended Use
Arch expansion: The Quadhelix is often used when there is insufficient space in the dental arch, leading to crowding or narrow arches. It can help expand the arch width, creating space for proper alignment of crowded or impacted teeth. This is especially useful when there is a need to address crowding in the upper or lower arch.
Crossbite correction: The Quadhelix can be effective in correcting both anterior and posterior crossbites. It helps align the upper and lower teeth into a more ideal bite relationship, ensuring that the upper teeth fit properly with the lower teeth. This can improve bite function and reduce the risk of uneven tooth wear or TMJ issues.
Early intervention: The Quadhelix is often used in growing children and adolescents to address orthodontic issues at an early stage. It can guide dental development and correct minor crowding before more extensive orthodontic treatment is required. Early intervention with the Quadhelix can help prevent the progression of dental problems and potentially reduce the complexity of future orthodontic treatment.
Space creation: The Quadhelix can create space in the dental arch, allowing for proper alignment of impacted or crowded teeth. By gently expanding the arch, it provides room for teeth to align in their correct positions.
Anchorage control: The Quadhelix appliance allows for selective movement of teeth while providing anchorage control. It minimizes the risk of unwanted tooth movement and helps maintain stability in the posterior region while facilitating desired tooth alignment in the anterior region.
