Abstract

In contemporary dental practice an orthodontist often faces the inability to use regular preformed Goshgarian transpalatal arches (TPA) due to limited range of their size and/or individual anatomical characteristics of dentoalveolar system of the patient. In such cases an orthodontist has to recourse to individual TPA fabrication considering anatomical and morphological conditionals of specific patient. This paper describes the technic of TPA fabrication and adjustment without the need to fixate the orthodontic bands on the plaster models.

Key words:

individual fabrication, TPA, Goshgarian bar
