Occlusal rests 0.7 mm spring hard, pendulum spring out of 0.8 mm rematitan® SPECIAL
Function:
The loops of the rematitan® SPECIAL springs are moved from the horizontal to the sagital plane to move the molars distally without transversal side effects
Description:
Big designed pendulum loops without U-loops, removable
The pendulum springs are bent with big loops which are not placed near the mid palatal suture, but fixed sagitally underneath the molars. This way the length of the pendulum is notoriously shorter.
The relatively big palatal plate is extended in a mushroom shape behind the loops of the pendulum spring. To be able to activate the springs extraorally, they are slightly blocked out in the retention area. This wax coverage is minimal so that the retention does not sit too loose in the acrylic but is still removable.
In order to guarantee an almost normal swallowing and speaking pattern and to prevent tongue-pressing, the acrylic base has to be finished very thin. The penguin is Mayes distinguishing mark.
