The Snodgrass expansion appliance offers the benefit of two appliances in one. Doctors enjoy lateral expansion first, followed by the option of molar distalization. Johns Dental can pre-activate the distalization capability if desired. The convertible caps on the lingual of the molar bands make additional adjustments easy. The Snodgrass appliance is used before bracket placement.
To learn more about the Snodgrass treatment options, doctors should attend lectures with American Orthodontic Society (AOS) Instructors. Johns Dental Lab has manufactured Snodgrass appliances for more than 30 years.
