Saturn™ Molar Bands - Maxillary 1st & 2nd Molar

Saturn™ bands are Ormco** size compatible.Precision-shaped tooth anatomy for a tight, secure fit with excellent retention. Our distinct right and left anatomy is completely proportioned in all planes and for each band size.Stainless steel that exhibits properties of "hardness" for strength to avoid wall collapse when fitting, yet is malleable enough for "snap" fitting that requires little or no burnishing.Increased buccal height for greater flexibility in the placement and positioning of buccal tubes and lingual attachments.Permanently etched using an Electro Chemical Etching process for easy permanent identification. Interiors are micro-etched to provide a rough ended surface for increased bond strength.30 upper and lower sizes graduated in even, closely spaced increments for improved fit.**G&H® is in no way affiliated with Ormco Corporation

Maxillary Skeletal Expander

G&H G4™ Nickel Titanium Closed Coil Springs - 21" Spools

Closed Coil Springs deliver ideal forces for Class II intra-arch maxillary retraction as well as other space closure and maintenance applications.   .030” coil diameter - 21” spool   The unique G4™ Nickel Titanium alloy developed by G&H® is precision formed into closed coil springs. G4™ Springs provide consistent force and remain active until the space is closed. Consistent force values and full recovery are both routinely achieved with G4™ NiTi Springs - and also G4™ NiTi Archwires.

GAC Molar Distallization Coils

Maxillary molars can be moved distally in 4-7 months without patient cooperation using our 100 gram Stop Wound Open Coil Springs. A modified Nance or A.C.C.O. may be used as an anchorage device initially. The coils are placed between the 1st bicuspid and the 1st molar – by passing the 2nd bicuspid. The coils are then activated against the molar using an archwire lock or our special crimpable stop. Cut the Stop Wound Open Coils so that they extend to the end of the buccal tube. Ligate the archwire to the 1st bicuspid, set the stop, then slide the coil onto the archwire. Next, feed the archwire into the tube, ensuring that the archwire is fully inserted with 2mm of wire extending beyond the tube. Uprighting springs may be used from the 1st bicuspid to the distal of the laterals to control any anterior movement. Using this system, you will see 1mm per month in space gained, with any anchorage loss well within clinically acceptable limits.

GAC Anterior Retracting Springs

Anterior Retracting Springs are available for segmented retraction of the maxillary four incisors. The increased force in these springs was designed to overcome the resistance of the roots and the rectangular archwire. Stops may be set on the archwire to ensure the proper destination. The eyelets are engaged from our crimped hook or an archwire lock to the molar hook. Expect 1mm of movement per month of activation.
