Bonded orthodontic palate expanders and teeth aligners are specialized appliances used to gradually widen the upper jaw or correct the positioning of teeth. These devices are fixed within the oral cavity, where they apply controlled pressure to achieve desired skeletal or dental adjustments over the course of treatment.
These appliances are designed for use by a single patient and are intended to be discarded once the treatment period concludes. They typically feature a mechanical screw or spring mechanism that a professional periodically adjusts to facilitate the necessary structural changes.
