ACCUTECH

Dental Compare
Accutech Orthodontic Lab’s Freedom-Lock™ rapid palatal expander (RPE) can be integrated into multiple types of appliances. Its delivers a rigid and secure appliance, with the clinical advantage of quick and easy removal or reinsertion any time during treatment. Any type of screw that would be used for a fixed RPE can be used with the Freedom-Lock™ system. Its hinged mechanism fills the buccal tube with a snug fit but easily slides in and out, and it has a gentle curve that crosses the occlusal surface. The hinge mechanism locks in--the custom designed “flat” locking clasp ensures retention. Its design delivers a snap-tight lock for insertion and easy release flexibility for quick removal.

Quick and Easy Insertion
Freedom-Lock™ delivers superior expansion – it pushes from the lingual and pulls from the buccal simultaneously; and delivery is simple. After the bands are cemented, the RPE snaps right in. It is not soldered to the bands.

Removal and Re-insertion Advantages
The Freedom-Lock™ comes out, and the bands stay on the teeth therefore adjustments can be easily made outside the mouth. Springs and clasps can be added as needed, and larger screws can be inserted with no relapse or new bands.

Hygiene and Cost Savings
A patient’s oral hygiene is greatly improved because the Freedom-Lock™ can be completely removed at each appointment for a thorough cleaning. When the expansion is complete, the appliance reduces chair time and band usage. The appliance is removed and the bands can remain for continued treatment.
