The Hilgers Pendex appliance is a specialized orthodontic device designed for effective molar distalization and palatal expansion. Here are its key features:
Bands on Molars: Secure bands are placed on the molars to provide stability and anchorage for the appliance.
Occlusal Rests: Positioned on the 1st and 2nd bicuspids, these rests help in distributing the forces exerted during treatment.
Palatal Acrylic: A durable acrylic component sits on the palate, serving as a base for the appliance and support for the expansion mechanism.
TMA Springs: Located lingually on the molars, these springs are designed to apply gentle pressure, encouraging the distal movement of the molars.
Expansion Screw: Embedded within the acrylic, this screw facilitates controlled palatal expansion, allowing for adjustment of the appliance as treatment progresses.
