PowerBar™ Class II Corrector
American Orthodontics has strengthened its Class II correction offerings with the introduction of the universal PowerBar, which is applied earlier in treatment than the PowerScope.
PowerBar is a fixed functional, direct bond orthodontic appliance for correction of Class II cases into Class I through efficient segmental tooth movement. The universal design of PowerBar allows use on left or right sides of the maxillary arch. Initial application of PowerBar can reduce total treatment time and provides easier segmental correction. After bonding attachments to the lower arch first or second molars, the correct size universal PowerBar is placed in the upper arch. Once Class II is corrected, the PowerBar can be removed, and space closed with traditional braces.
PowerBar permits the use of almost all complementary appliances but combined with award winning buccal tubes, buttons or UT hooks, thermoforming plastic, and elastics from American Orthodontics provides a coordinated and effective treatment.
