The Adult Ortho-T® Appliance: Treatment for 12-Year-Olds to Adults in Only 1 to 12 Months!





 The Ortho-T® provides adolescent and adult orthodontics by straightening adult teeth with only one appliance worn only one to two hours a day, for a period of one to twelve months. The same active appliance is also used as the retention device.

Ortho-T® Adult Appliance:

  • Is a combination orthopedic, functional and finishing appliance
  • Eliminates overbite, overjet and produces a Class I molar relation and ideal intercuspation
  • Every Ortho-T® appliance is in perfect Class I to 0.001 inch accuracy
  • Restricts the maxilla while advancing the mandible
  • Straightens the incisors (rotations, crowding or spacing)
  • Depresses the anteriors and allows the posteriors to erupt
  • Is completely preformed and requires few adjustments
  • The same appliance used for both treatment and retention
  • Is available in 13 sizes – including non-extraction (NT), two upper bicuspid (UT) and four bicuspid extractions (XT)
  • Add our Perfit Bumper® to correct additional crowding
  • Rotation cleats can be easily added to any appliance to correct further rotations
  • Can relieve the pains of TMJ
  • Can be used to correct relapsed orthodontic cases
  • Built-in Cooperation Detector® allows you to ensure compliance with recommended wear time, by visibly seeing a change in the color of the appliance.
  • If patient suffers from a bruxism, these appliances prevent further wear of the teeth.
