Five reasons dentists are reaching for them before forceps

This content is sponsored by ArtCraft Dental.

1. No more broken root tips
Xpanders create controlled bucco-lingual and mesio-distal movement before forceps ever touch the tooth, making extractions more predictable and root tip fracture far less likely.

2. Better bone preservation
Controlled socket expansion protects the surrounding bone and soft tissue, offering the maximum degree of ridge preservation—critical to implant success down the line.

3. Stable two-point contact
It comes down to the double-pronged diamond grip: the most stable two-point contact possible at the crest and neck of the tooth. Twist, and one point locks onto bone while the other pushes the tooth laterally, creating buccolingual socket expansion and superior pre-forceps loosening. Because Xpanders penetrate only a quarter to a half millimeter into bone or the PDL space, they are minimally invasive.

4. Faster extractions, less chair time
Luxating is a slower method, and the thin tips of Luxators may not always provide enough power or purchase point. The double-tip design on Xpanders is intended to give clinicians more power and faster results, right where Luxators fall short.

5. Designed by a dentist, for dentists
Dr. David Fyffe spent years testing hundreds of instruments in his own practice. Frustration with what was available led him to design his own solution: Xpanders.
