Abstract

Precise positioning and stabilization of the expansion screw are crucial steps in fabricating a removable expansion appliance. The current method of inserting the plastic handle of the screw into a wax-filled well in the working model is unwieldy and often unsatisfactory. We present a simple device that is easy to construct and effective for the purpose. It permits adjustments in the depth and angulation of the screw and secures it firmly during appliance fabrication.
