Getting a smile you love is an exciting adventure, and sometimes we need a few extra "sidekicks" to help your teeth and jaw move into the perfect position! At Abdoney Orthodontics, we use cutting-edge technology like the iTero™ scanner and a variety of treatment options to make sure your results are precise and long-lasting. Here is a look at some of the cool tools we might use during your journey!
Forsus Appliance
The Forsus appliance is a real powerhouse for overbites! It uses a small, comfortable spring attached to your braces to help guide your jaw forward. It works around the clock, so you don't have to worry about taking it in or out!
Herbst Appliance
For more serious overbites, we love the Herbst appliance. It’s a fantastic alternative to orthognathic surgery! This tool helps guide lower jaw growth and is great for both teens and adults. It’s all about creating a stable, healthy bite that lasts a lifetime.
Elastics
You might know these as rubber bands! We use these tiny, stretchy loops to connect different teeth. They provide the gentle, constant pressure needed to make sure your top and bottom teeth fit together like a perfect puzzle.

Palatal Expander
We usually use expanders for our younger friends. This appliance gently widens the upper jaw to create more room for permanent teeth to grow in. It’s a key part of our Phase I treatment to prevent crowding before it starts!
Facemask
This sounds a bit intense, but it’s actually a very strategic tool for underbites! By wearing a facemask (usually just at home or while sleeping), we can help move the upper jaw forward. Catching this before age 9 is a great way to avoid orthognathic surgery later on.
TPA and Lingual Arch
Think of these as "space savers."
- The TPA appliance runs across the roof of your mouth to keep your teeth from shifting after using an expander.
- The Lingual Arch does the same thing for your lower teeth!
Both are excellent for holding the right amount of space if a baby tooth falls out a little too early.
Fixed Retainer
You’ve worked hard for that smile, so let’s keep it! A fixed retainer is a thin, custom wire bonded to the back of your teeth. It’s totally invisible to your friends, and it’s there to make sure your teeth stay exactly where they belong. We often pair these with Vivera™ retainers for proven results.
