Additional Information for Dental Expander
Dental expanders are orthodontic devices used to widen the upper or lower jaw to create more space for crowded teeth or to correct bite problems. They are part of the supply class Dental Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies, which falls under the supply group Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Equipment and Supplies.
Dental expanders are typically made of metal or plastic and consist of two halves that are connected in the middle. They are custom-made to fit the patient's mouth and are usually attached to the teeth using bands or brackets. By gradually applying pressure, dental expanders help to widen the jaw and create more room for proper alignment of the teeth.
These devices are commonly used in orthodontic treatments, especially in cases of crowding or narrow dental arches. They are often used in children and teenagers whose jaws are still growing and can be adjusted periodically to achieve the desired expansion.
Dental expanders are an essential tool in the field of dentistry, helping to correct dental and skeletal irregularities and improve overall oral health.
