Product Description
The Hyrax Expansion Screw is a clinically proven orthodontic device designed for precise mid-palatal suture separation in fixed appliance treatments. Engineered for reliability and efficiency, this stainless steel screw enables controlled palatal expansion to correct crossbites, narrow arches, and skeletal discrepancies. As a core component of modern dental orthodontic expansion screw systems, it integrates advanced safety and functionality features tailored for both orthodontists and lab technicians.
Key Structural Innovations:
-
Built-In Safety Stops: Automatically lock the screw at maximum expansion (indicated by a laser-etched arrow), preventing over-expansion or accidental disassembly.
-
Break-Resistant Retention Legs: Reinforced stainless steel legs ensure stable guidance throughout the entire expansion process.
-
Anti-Retraction Spindle: Integrated friction technology eliminates unwanted backward rotation, maintaining consistent expansion force.
-
Compact Design: Achieves maximum expansion range with minimal intraoral footprint, enhancing patient comfort.
-
Solder-Free Construction: Reduces corrosion risk and simplifies sterilization workflows.
Included with each screw is a dedicated safety key, ensuring secure activation and precise control during adjustments.

How It Works
-
Installation: Bond the Hyrax screw to maxillary molars using stabilizing bands.
-
Activation: Use the safety key to turn the screw daily (as prescribed), guided by the laser arrow.
-
Monitoring: Built-in stops halt expansion at the predefined limit, while anti-retraction mechanics stabilize progress.
-
Post-Expansion: Lock the screw with ligature wire and transition to retention proto
