Pendex - Distalization and Palatal Expansion in a Single Appliance
Pendex is a fixed orthodontic appliance that combines the efficiency of the Pendulum appliance with the advantages of a medial palatal expansion screw. It allows controlled distalization of the upper molars while facilitating widening of the upper arch, making it ideal for patients who require both space creation and correction of jaw narrowing.
High quality materials for optimal performance
🔹 Sintered Co-Cr metal - Ensures high durability and optimal biomechanical stability.
