NITANIUM PALATAL EXPANDER2 Nitanium Palatal Expander2 Multi-Purpose Finishing Appliance The easy to use Nitanium Palatal Expander2 takes expansion a step beyond This extraordinary expansion appliance has the capacity to rotate, upright, distalize, and expand the anterior and posterior arches with gentle biocompatible force. The Nitanium Palatal Expander2 Appliance's action is the result of transition temperature and shape memory. Warmth within the patient's mouth activates movement in the thermal nickel titanium energy wire toward the appliance's preprogrammed shape. This produces the desired expansion in unison with tooth movement. Once the exact correction is achieved, the appliance stops expanding and lies passive.
