Palatal expanders
Leaf Expander Self-Activated A2705
Every advantage of the Leaf expander, with no need for periodic reactivation — the therapy is predetermined.
A2705A2706
This expander includes all the advantages of the Leaf expander without the need for periodic reactivation. Its effectiveness is based entirely on the elastic capacity of the leaf springs made of Nickel Titanium, which release controlled and continuous forces. The choice of expander is decided on the basis of the transversal discrepancy of the patient: the therapy is predetermined and does not require any further action either by the clinician or by the patient.
It is available in two models, 450 g and 900 g, each in two expansion capacities: 6 mm with four leaf springs and 9 mm with six leaf springs. The expander is supplied with leaf springs ready-compressed by two metal staples that the technician removes after construction of the device. The package includes a special clip with safety leash to keep the springs compressed, plus practical instructions illustrating all construction steps and delivery methods.
