Fixed Orthodontic Appliances
Fixed orthodontic appliances play a crucial role in orthodontic treatment, especially when it comes to arch development. These appliances consist of brackets, bands, and wires that are fixed to the teeth, allowing for precise control and manipulation of tooth movement. Ohlendorf Appliance laboratory provides dentists with custom fixed orthodontic appliances to help align patients teeth, correct bite issues, and create harmonious dental arches for children and adults.
Arch Development
Our arch development orthodontics facilitate the proper positioning of teeth within the arch, leading to improved aesthetics, better functionality, and long-term oral health benefits. Additionally, arch development with fixed appliances can address overcrowding, spacing issues, and overall symmetry of the smile, contributing to a confident and healthy dental structure.

Williams Expander
Mandibular expander for younger patients where the 1st molars have not erupted enough to band. A wire is extended to the 1st molars so they will expand along with the rest of the arch. A lingual wire helps to align the anteriors as the arch is expanded.
3D Wilson Multi Action

CD Advancer
Maxillary Anterior Drive Sagittal to advance the premaxilla forward. An expansion screw can be added if needed. The doctor makes all the adjustments. Composite Anchors should be placed on the lingual of 2 anterior teeth to prevent the appliance from sliding down the lingual of the teeth and help direct the force in the proper direction.
Magill Sagittal

Rick-a-Nator with an expansion screw to widen the arch. The bite plane can be flat or inclined. Made with Wilson 3D Slots on the molar bands so it can be removed without having to take off the bands.
Banded Twin Block

This appliance will advance the mandible and reduce the overjet but will not increase the vertical. A Rick-a-Nator is placed after the Twin Block to help increase the vertical and close the posterior open bite.
Banded Herbst
Maxillary and Mandibular appliance that work together to advance the mandible and correct Class II cases. The mandible can be advanced during treatment by adjusting the buccal arms if additional advancement is needed.
Upper Fixed Orthodontic Appliances
Upper fixed orthodontic appliances, also known as upper braces, are a specific type of fixed orthodontic treatment that focuses on correcting alignment and bite issues in the upper jaw or arch. These appliances typically consist of brackets, bands, and wires that are affixed to the teeth in the upper jaw, allowing for targeted adjustments to achieve proper tooth alignment and arch development.
Upper fixed orthodontic appliances play a crucial role in addressing issues such as crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and other malocclusions that may affect the upper teeth and jaw. By applying controlled forces to the upper teeth, these appliances help shift them into their optimal positions, leading to improved aesthetics, better functionality, and overall oral health. Additionally, upper fixed orthodontic appliances can contribute to a balanced bite, proper jaw alignment, and a confident smile.
Lower Arch Development Orthodontics
Lower fixed orthodontic appliances, commonly referred to as lower braces, are essential components of orthodontic treatment aimed at addressing alignment and bite issues specifically in the lower jaw or arch. These appliances consist of brackets, bands, and wires that are securely attached to the teeth in the lower jaw, allowing for targeted adjustments to correct misalignments and achieve proper arch development.
Lower fixed orthodontic appliances play a significant role in treating conditions such as crowding, spacing irregularities, underbites, overjets, and other lower jaw-related malocclusions. By exerting controlled forces on the lower teeth, these appliances help reposition them effectively, leading to enhanced aesthetics, improved functionality, and long-term oral health benefits. Additionally, lower arch development orthodontics contribute to a balanced bite, harmonious jaw alignment, and a smile that instills confidence.
