Professional Orthodontic Supplies - Hyrax Expansion Screw for Palatal Expansion | Orthodontic Products with Stabilizing Bands | Orthodontic Kits & Ortho Accessories

Product Description

The Hyrax Expansion Screw is a clinically proven orthodontic device designed for precise mid-palatal suture separation in fixed appliance treatments. Engineered for reliability and efficiency, this stainless steel screw enables controlled palatal expansion to correct crossbites, narrow arches, and skeletal discrepancies. As a core component of modern dental orthodontic expansion screw systems, it integrates advanced safety and functionality features tailored for both orthodontists and lab technicians.

Key Structural Innovations:

• Built-In Safety Stops: Automatically lock the screw at maximum expansion (indicated by a laser-etched arrow), preventing over-expansion or accidental disassembly.

• Break-Resistant Retention Legs: Reinforced stainless steel legs ensure stable guidance throughout the entire expansion process.

• Anti-Retraction Spindle: Integrated friction technology eliminates unwanted backward rotation, maintaining consistent expansion force.

• Compact Design: Achieves maximum expansion range with minimal intraoral footprint, enhancing patient comfort.

• Solder-Free Construction: Reduces corrosion risk and simplifies sterilization workflows.

Included with each screw is a dedicated safety key, ensuring secure activation and precise control during adjustments.

Technical Specifications

• Material: Medical-grade stainless steel (ISO 13485 certified).

• Models: 8mm / 9mm / 11mm / 13mm expansion capacities.

• Packing: 1 screw

• Compliance: CE-marked
  

Clinical Advantages

✅ Precision Control

• Permanent laser-marked directional arrow ensures accurate activation alignment.

• Tie-Down Ready: Secure fixation once desired expansion is achieved, preventing relapse.

✅ Durability & Safety

• Resists mechanical stress during chewing or speech.

• Biocompatible material eliminates allergic reactions.

✅ Efficiency in Practice

• Pre-assembled design reduces chairside preparation time.

• Compatible with all standard orthodontic kits and archwire systems.
  

How It Works

1. Installation: Bond the Hyrax screw to maxillary molars using stabilizing bands.

2. Activation: Use the safety key to turn the screw daily (as prescribed), guided by the laser arrow.

3. Monitoring: Built-in stops halt expansion at the predefined limit, while anti-retraction mechanics stabilize progress.

4. Post-Expansion: Lock the screw with ligature wire and transition to retention proto
