Digital W Arch Appliance (Orthodontic Appliance)

pinshape

The Digital W Arch appliance, also known as the Porter appliance, is crafted with precision using high-quality .036 wire. By carefully opening the apices, orthodontists can easily adjust this versatile device to provide controlled expansion in either the anterior or posterior regions of the mouth. To ensure optimal results, the appliance should be manually opened 3-4 millimeters before insertion, allowing for precise force delivery. As treatment progresses, gentle expansion should continue at a steady rate of 2 millimeters per month until the crossbite is thoroughly overcorrected.
