AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing spiral arch expansion device can only perform dental arch expansion, but cannot perform bone arch expansion, which cannot effectively solve the problem of too narrow arch caused by insufficient maxillary development.

Method used

A new spiral expander including a bracket body, a screw, a guide rod, a short bracket rod and a long bracket rod were designed. The fixation and expansion of the maxillary bone was achieved through the combination of two long bracket rods and the fixation of external bolts.

Benefits of technology

The bone expansion is achieved, which can effectively expand the arch and enable the teeth to be arranged naturally, solving the problem of too narrow arch caused by insufficient maxillary development.
