    Area of Science:

    • Orthodontics
    • Dental Arch Development

    Background:

    • Contracted dental arches require effective treatment strategies.
    • Lingual appliances offer an aesthetic and effective solution for arch development.

    Observation:

    • Trans-Force lingual appliances are pre-activated and require no further activation after fitting.
    • These appliances are inserted into horizontal lingual sheaths in molar bands.
    • Both sagittal and transverse appliances include components for 3-way expansion.

    Findings:

    • The Trans-Force system facilitates arch form correction in patients with contracted dental arches.
    • Pre-activated lingual appliances enable arch development in conjunction with fixed appliances.
    • The system allows for sagittal and transverse arch development, including 3-way expansion.

    Implications:

    • This approach expands possibilities for interceptive and comprehensive orthodontic treatment.
    • Invisible lingual appliances can correct all classes of malocclusion across developmental stages.
    • The treatment has broad applications for both adolescent and adult patients.
