The Hyrax rapid palatal expander, the most common fixed expander, consists of two metal wings with straps that fit tightly to the back molars to prevent dropping. It is the treatment of choice for correcting maxillary insufficiency, maxillary contraction, and posterior tooth inversion. To activate the expander, patients need to use a “key” to turn a small screw in the center every day. This tension gradually separates the patient’s two palate bones, thereby widening the jaw.
Usually, orthodontists will recommend that patients wear a palate dilator for at least six months. Then replace it with a retainer. Bestodental Lab has a professional technical team that can design and manufacture suitable Hyrax rapid palatal expanders according to the needs of patients.
