Orthodontic power arm

163 devices · GMDN 63223

Orthodontic power arms are small, specialized attachments used in braces to apply extra force to teeth, helping with vertical alignment or horizontal positioning. They connect to elastic bands, springs, or chains to guide tooth movement beyond what the main archwire can achieve alone.

These devices are typically single-use, designed to be affixed to brackets or bands via crimping, soldering, or other methods. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified as dental devices and must comply with local medical device standards before use.
