Smile 3 Distractor

For pathological small upper jaws and clefts

Smile 3 Distractor

Skeletal expansion or Surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion or distraction is undoubtedly the best treatment option for maxillary constriction and/or severe crowding. The Smile 3 Distractor can be placed on a palate as narrowas 12mm, bone to bone, as well as flat wide cleft palates.

The Smile 3 Distractor is easy to apply and to remove by the surgeon, easy to activate twice a day by the patient and easy to be monitored by a professional. Patients also report great satisfaction on the distractor, due to oral comfort and oral hygiene it offers. 

Advantages

  • Modules of the Smile 3 can be changed to a larger module leaving the plates in place
  • Very useful distractor for pathological small upper jaws and clefts (module 8, 10, 12 mm)

What should you tell your patient?

  • He should see the opening between the 2 front teeth getting larger every day.
  • The smile distractor needs to be cleaned daily by your patient using a soft child toothbrush.
  • The distractor should be kept firm and immobile in the mouth for 3 to 5 months. In case the distractor becomes loose during the healing process, they need to contact you to re tighten or remove it.
