Ortho Organizers is pleased to announce the new Clark TRANSFORCE® Transverse and Sagittal appliances (U.S. Patent Pending), which were developed in consultation with Dr. William Clark, the inventor of the Clark Twin Block. These appliances allow doctors the ability to correct arch form for patients with a pre-programmed single-piece appliance instead of utilizing multiple procedures to achieve the same results. The Clark TRANSFORCE® Transverse and Sagittal appliances are made of medical surgical stainless steel and incorporate a Nickel Titanium TWIN FORCE® spring module, which generates 100 to 200 grams of smooth continuous force while developing arches. Each Clark TRANSFORCE® appliance is inserted into a lingual sheaths on molar bands and are pre-activated via the “TWIN FORCE®” springs. The Clark TRANSFORCE® Transverse appliance has an expansion module to increase the inter-canine width (expands at the cuspids) and may be used in the upper or lower arches when expansion is required to accommodate crowding in the labial segments, or to correct arch width in contracted arches. The Clark TRANSFORCE® Sagittal appliance is specifically designed for anterior arch development (creates space by advancing the 3x3 mesially) in upper or lower arches and is often indicated for simultaneous use in both arches. The Clark TRANSFORCE® Sagittal appliance operates on the slide principle and may be used unilaterally or bilaterally to extend arch length.
Both Clark TRANSFORCE® appliances can be left in place after activation to act as a retainer while bonded fixed appliances and other finishing is completed or easily removed from sheaths by compressing the coil spring to remove the wire tags from lingual sheaths. Clark TRANSFORCE®.
Transverse and Sagittal appliances are available individually or in an assorted starter kit. An optional development planner is available for both appliances and helps doctors to establish the most appropriate size to use and to determine the activation adjustment necessary for achieving the desired development results. The charts are included in the kits or can be ordered individually.
