EXPANDERS - TIGER DENTAL POWERSCREW

Tiger Dental PowerScrew Expander is a double arm telescope screw for use in rapid maxillary palatal expander devices

Can be used as Hyrax device as a tooth-borne expander or as a bone-born, miniscrew assisted MARPE expander.

Available in five sizes: 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 mm (installation size) to suit palate expanders for children, adolescent and adult

Activation is simple, as the 8 cm long flat spanner can be quickly and safely used by the patient on the hexagonal screw.

Narrow palates need a small expansion screw. The PowerScrew therefore grows with it. By simply changing the hexagonal screw for the next biggest, the expander can continue to be used without making a new one (see images page).

The PowerScrew and its retention arms are extremely stable and can withstand the greatest forces and torques.

One turn (6 surfaces) equals 1 mm expansion (0.17 mm per surface); every second surface is marked with increasing points.

Indications:

Expansion of skeletal narrow upper jaws

Contraindications:

Age-dependent, ossified palatal expansion

Areas of application:

The PowerScrew can be used for dental and skeletal expansion of a narrow upper jaw in children, adolescents and adults. It is used for dental braces devices (HAAS-type), dental cap splint devices, for the Hybrid Expander (partially miniscrew-borne and tooth-borne RME devices) and for purely miniscrew-borne expanders (MICRO2 / MICRO4 expander).
