[Accelerated orthodontic treatment with a device for one-way pushing of teeth]

A device for the treatment of dental-jaw deformities with teeth in medio- disto- and transposition is proposed. The device is successfully applied for pushing of teeth, in medio- and disto-position, to their normal place along the dentition. A modification of an intraoral apparatus, the device proposed is a combination of a palatal plaque with a segment guaranteeing one-way pushing of single teeth medially or distally, depending of the deformity. It is distinguished for its light technological manufacture of materials with low prime cost. Its better effectiveness and applicability than the so far known orthodontic apparatuses have been confirmed on the base of data reported about clinical, paraclinical and X-ray studies of children with dental-jaw deformities--healed.
