PowerScope™ Class II Corrector

PowerScope brings you simple, efficient, Class II correction like you've never seen before. This latest generation features a stronger wire attachment nut and visual activation indicators. It addresses critical needs of the orthodontist, including patient comfort and acceptance, extensive range of motion, simple installation and much more.* PowerScope goes from package to treatment in just seconds, and unlike other Class II correctors, there's no need for assembly, measuring, or appliance manipulation. This wire-to-wire device delivers unmatched patient comfort, eliminates the need for headgear tubes or special band assemblies, and can be used with either banded or bonded molar tubes.

PowerScope has the ability to treat the following types of cases:

  • Class II correction with dentoalveolar compensation of occlusion (Class II elastics effect)
  • Class II division 1 malocclusions
  • Class II division 2 malocclusions
  • Unilateral correction of Class II
  • Asymmetric cases - midline correction
  • Distalizing upper posterior teeth (headgear substitute)
  • Mini-screw alternative - anchorage for mandibular arch space closure (aplasia)
  • Aid with opening space for future implants
    • Anterior maxilla
    • Posterior mandible
