A *quad helix* is a fixed orthodontic appliance used to gently widen the upper jaw (palate) . It treats conditions like crossbites and crowding by creating more space .
It has metal bands cemented to the back molars to provide adequate anchorage, connected by a wire with four helical (spiral) loops . These loops act like springs to provide a continuous, gentle force .
The "slow expansion" allows the bone to adapt more naturally, often leading to more stable results .
This constant intermittent force allows an average increase in molar width of nearly 9 mm over roughly 5 months, afterwards allowing the use of orthodontic braces to realign all teeth,giving you that natural straightened teeth.π
With over a decade of service, Matnodentech Dental Laboratory provides lab based services that facilitates this treatment.
