DEVICE: ATOZ Expander Kit (08800197900075)

A hand-held device designed to manually adjust an orthodontic palate expander (not included), by rotating the expander’s screw, to help create space for correct upper teeth alignment. It is comprised of a handle with an expander-engaging pin at the distal end which is inserted into the screw and rotated to adjust the width of the expander. This is a reusable device intended for single patient use.

An orthodontic device intended to gradually spread the maxillary arch and/or improve teeth alignment. It is typically in the form of either: 1) a segmented body separated by a palate expander screw; or 2) a spring-like mechanism, positioned in the palate cavity with wires extending laterally, ending in bonded teeth-engaging bands. It is intended to remain in the oral cavity for the duration of treatment (fixed), and may be periodically adjusted by an orthodontist to effect skeletal and/or dental changes. This is a single-patient device intended to be used for the duration of treatment (single-use) before being discarded.

A small, metallic, implantable rod with a spiral thread and slotted/formed head that is inserted into the bone of the jaw to serve as a temporary anchor for an orthodontic device (e.g., a spring or plate). It is available in various sizes and lengths, and may have a self-drilling/self-tapping thread for easy insertion and removal after desired alignment of the teeth. It is used in a variety of orthodontic treatment situations, especially when normal anatomy has been compromised (e.g., due to periodontal disease or agenesis, displacement of teeth in the same direction, asymmetrical anatomy). This is a single-use device.

A dental wire in the shape of an arch used with orthodontic attachments (orthodontic brackets) that are affixed to the crowns/surfaces of two or more teeth in order to cause/guide tooth movement. This is a single-patient device intended to be used for the duration of the treatment (single-use) before being discarded.

A non-powered tool intended to fit into a screw head (e.g., slotted, cross/hex head) for the application of rotation to introduce/remove a screw (e.g., craniofacial bone screw, dental screw) into/from a patient in association with a surgical procedure [e.g., orthopaedic, dental, computer assisted surgery (CAS), image registration]. It may also be used to connect/disconnect a device to/from another device attached to a patient (e.g., implant component, fiducial marker). The proximal end of the device may have a handle for manual use or a profiled tang that fits into an independent chuck or power driver; it is typically made of metallic and/or polymer materials. This is a reusable device.
