Simpli5Breathe Easy Sleep - SnoringAOA’s Simpli5 is an express aligner system thatprovides a fast, effective and simple solution tominor and moderate anterior misalignments.The patient wears five appliances per arch that areprogrammed with incremental correction to movethe teeth to their desired end result. There’s onesimple-and-attractive fee per arch (upper andlower), which allows you to quote the righttreatment cost to your patients.Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can be treated inmany patients with the use of a removable dentalappliance. The most common approach is theforward positioning of the mandible to a “Class III”type relationship to the upper jaw. AOA’s appliancesoffer a range of options - all removable. Appliancescan be mechanically attached between upperand lower arches, or a single unit. All appliancesrequire a healthy dental environment but can bemodified in material choices to accommodatevarious considerations such as under-cuts andpotential periodontal problem.Every Simpli5 treatment can be supplemented withtwo “refinement” aligners if needed to fine tune thefinal results. In this instance, you’ll just forward theoriginal set-up models and new impressions to ourcustomer service department.*The cause of snoring may be a serious medicalconsideration and it is advisable that all complaintsbe referred to the patient’s physician for evaluationbefore dental intervention is considered or initiated.*Extra charge for refinement appliances.Breathe Easy SplintThe Simpli5 Clear Aligner SSystemystemem isi perperfectrfecfectt foror minminoror too modmoderamoderateeratetetooth movement, and can be used in most relapse cases.Upper Breathe Easy SplintConsusuultatattionigners are great for in-offiin officeConsultationModels with a set of aalignersceeducation!Breathe Easy Removable Herbst markedmad forforo easyeasyAligners are markedidentification with one dotrepresenting each aligner(upper blue/lower red).Breeaththe Easy Elastic MandibularBreatheEasy Advancement Appliance (EMA)Suggested Reading MaterialShoaf, S.C.: Sleep Disorders and Oral Appliances, J. of Clin.

AdvanSync Class II Molar to MolarMiniscope Herbst AdvanSync represents a breakthrough infunctional appliances that makes it possible totreat Class II cases in Class one time. AdvanSync produces stable orthopedic changes while itadvances the mandible to a Class I occlusion injust six to nine months. This occurs while thepatient has brackets placed upper and lower 2ndbicuspid to 2nd bicuspid. AdvanSync ’s arms are50% shorter than arms used in Herbst appliances,minimizing mouth discomfort. Unlike removableappliances, AdvanSync does not create speechproblems and patients adjust to it very quickly.AdvanSync is ideal for patients in mixed orpermanent dentition. AdvanSync was developedin collaboration with one of the worlds leadingClass II authorities, Dr. Terry Dischinger. AOA isthe only lab licensed to produce the customAdvanSync Molar to Molar series.The use of the “fixed functional” appliancecontinues to grow as witnessed by the many newdesigns of Herbst type appliances. Now AOAoffers an updated telescope design called theMiniScope Herbst .There are several significant advantages tothis design. First, the mechanism is a selfcontained telescope that cannot disengagewhen the patients open wide, unlike the traditionalHerbst which comes apart. This potentiallyreduces emergency appointments. Another majoradvantage of the MiniScope is the doctor’s abilityto better position the lower pivots (attachments)near the lower second bicuspids instead of thefirst bicuspids. By moving the lower pivot distallya full tooth position, the tissue is much less proneto irritation and the patient settles into theappliances more readily.AdvanSyncTM Molar to MolarMolarbacck inin thetheh mouthmou h andnd is virtuallyvirtuvirtuallal yAdvanSyncTM sits further backunnoticeable.AdvanSync ’ss arms aarerree halhalflfthe size of those in traditional Herbst appliances for greaterpatient comfort.TM800.262.52216With a telescoping mechanism, the lower pivotcan be positioned near the second bicuspid andthe upper pivot can also be placed at the centerof the crown (or reinforced band). This aidstremendously during the insertion and adjustmentappointments in gaining access to the hex headscrew, which secures the mechanism in place. Inaddition to the MiniScope Herbst , we offer thehex head screw called the AppleCore , whichconnects the telescoping mechanism to thecantilever bar and the upper molar crown orband. The AppleCore screw improves upon therestricted lateral movement of a standard Herbst pivot due to its curved inner radius. Not only doesthe curved inner radius offer more lateral freedomfor the excursion of the bite, but it reduces stresson the overall appliances that we believe willreduce appliance breakage.Herbst Miniscope HerbstHerbHerbst Herbst Miniscope openocclusion with open crowns AppleCoreAppppaxle and archwire tubtubesAOA has over twenty years of Herbst fabricationexperience, producing thousands of Herbst annually.

MARA DistalizersThe MARA (Mandibular Anterior RepositioningAppliance) is a simple and durable Class IIcorrector. The appliance is attached to thepatient’s first molars (or in very young patients, thedeciduous second molars) with stainless steelcrowns. Heavy-duty or Rollo bands may also beused. The advantage of a “noncompliance”approach to Class II correction is reliability andshortened treatment time.It is now possible to distalize maxillary first andsecond molars and retain the results with oneappliance. The Distal Jet is a fixed lingualappliance that can produce unilateral or bilateralmolar distalization and rotation corrections, usuallyin four to nine months, without patient compliance.Nickel-titanium coil springs (240g) provide forcesfor predictable results. The springs are driven by aunique set screw activation lock. After molars aredistalized the Distal Jet can be converted into aNance holding arch with a few easy adjustments without removing the appliance (180g springs areavailable upon request).The upper “elbows” are removable, allowing theclinician to make adjustments for further bilateralor unilateral advancement in skeletal midlineasymmetry cases. Patients generally adapt to theMARA in a few days and sore spots are minimal.The lower “arms” are permanently attached.Upper and lower archwire tubes with hooks arestandard features, allowing the clinician the optionof using fixed mechanics during MARA therapy.A lower lingual arch is also a standard element ofthe appliance. Other popular options include anupper Transpalatal Bow (TPA), and a variety ofpalatal expansion screws and habit devices.An accessory kit of parts is available, whichincludes advancement spacers, extra elbowsand a torquing tool to aid in adjusting the elbowif required.The smaller size of the appliance increases comfort and aestheticappeal for patients.Limited expansion can be introduced with theaddition of an expansion screw to the acrylicbutton. If significant expansion is required, the useof a palatal expander prior to molar distalizationis recommended.MARA ccanann beb usedused withh bracketsbraackecketstss aass a molamolarolarr too molammolarolarr optiooption.pt onEvolution of the MARA ApplianceThe Mambo Jet uses a “sistered” tube to compressthe spring while the screw/tube combinationslides easily along a heavy wire, parallel to thedirector tube.

AOB AppliancesTemporary Anchorage DevicesThe custom AOB Intrusion Splint is patient specificin design and made by laminating a specialpressure formed plastic base with orthodonticacrylic. Two transpalatal wires connect the rightand left quadrants for stability, preventing buccalflaring during treatment. Typically four “ball-hooks”are provided on each buccal segment for choicein force application.In the current orthodontic market, the use ofTemporary Anchorage Devices has dramaticallyincreased in comparison to the use of TAD’s just 5years ago. It has become an expected optionwithin most residency programs, and anothergreat tool in offices around the world.As increasing numbers of Doctors purchase TADsystems the demand for additional applicationshas also risen. Due to this demand, AOA hasresponded with a focus to incorporate the use ofTAD’s into many of our standard customappliances. In doing so, many doctors haverequested personal designs, creative ideas, as wellas, new appliances that have added to the list ofTAD applications in the industry.What to send to AOA for construction: Upper andlower stone or orthodontic plaster models. orPVS impressions. The construction bite should beincluded reflecting a minimal opening of 2 mmbetween the 1st molars. Our goal is to provide thethinnest, most durable comfortable splint possiblebased on the patient’s specific requirements.If the patient is currently bracketed you maychoose to retain the brackets and AOA willcarefully fabricate the splint to accommodate theappliances. Just comment on the Rx form thatyou wish to retain the brackets. Splints made forpatients without posterior brackets includearchwire tubes as illustrated in the images below.Not only does AOA encourage you to exploresome of the common TAD, custom appliances,such as the CIII Jet, or the Smith Molar Protractor,we would further appreciate that if you have anidea that you have not seen from us using TAD’s,please feel free to draw and describe it on one ofAOA’s RX forms and send it in. We will be happy tocustomize your appliance to your preferredmechanics as well as the patient’s needs.AOB SplintThe AOB Retainer designed for use after intrusion isremovable and includes habit screen, labial bow,hooks for spring attachment for clasping if requested.AOB RetainerBowman Horseshoe with TADsMambo Jet with TADsSmith Molar ProtractProtractionctionCIII Jet - Class IIIAOB Splinlinnt withh spsprinr gsgSplintwithspringsMulti-Use TranspalatalApplianceProtraction TranspalatalTransnspalalatalApplianceExcerpt from Ormco’s VectorWorkbook detailing attachmentoptions and forces.800.262.522110The AOA TAD appliances can be designed to work universally with any TAD system.www.aoalab.com11
Light Choice Arch DevelopmentFixed RPE’SLight Choice appliances are designed to deliverlight force when phase one expansion is required.From special open coil springs to titanium alloys,AOA has the right appliance for your patient.Rapid Palatal Expanders from AOA are availablein banded, stainless steel crown, acrylic, or vinylpressure-formed styles. The traditional bandedappliance requires bands properly seated onmolars or molars and first bicuspids. The “modified”design, with bands on only the molars, is theoptimal design for patients with mixed dentition.AOA can provide and seat either bands or crowns.If the upper arch requires an additional expansionassistance, AOA has several low force options. Theseinclude the spring jet and specially designed wireexpanders utilizing today’s unique alloys, as wellas traditional stainless steel. Each expander isdesigned to be patient specific and deliver lowconsistent force.A variety of screw assemblies are available fromAOA. Our standard 11 mm double-guide pin unitis provided unless an alternative style is requested.If the Haas RPE is requested, a 10 mm acrylicborne expansion screw is provided. Popularalternatives include the AOA mini and Snap-Lockratchet expander, both of which are applicable forlower fixed expansion.Adjuncts can be added for a wide variety oftherapeutic purposes.

Lingual Indirect BondingSTb, 7-7, Social 6 & Straight WireNow featuring the STb mini bracket and Social 6application. AOA’s lingual indirect departmentoffers several methods and techniques forbonding lingual brackets. The approaches can betailored to your specific patient as well as officeexperience level. Unlike labial, AOA can provide or,we will place other manufacturers’ bracketsprovided by the doctor.With their reduced size and rounded contours,STb brackets provide maximum patient comfort.Light-force mechanics of the light lingual systemdecrease stress of dental movement, makingtreatment far more gentle to the tissues.STb have minimal impact on tongue position andspeech. Clinical studies demonstrated negligiblespeech difficulty just after bonding, whichdisappeared completely within a matter of days.You and your patients will also appreciate theimproved access proved for better oral hygiene.You may request your cases include a singlepatient kit of clinical bonding resin, light activatedEnlight LV with OrthoSolo sealant. Because thecustom composite pads are compatible with mostclinical bonding mediums, you may elect to useyour own bonding material.All of AOA’s techniques allow for requested overcorrections of rotations as well as torque andangulation. This is especially critical in extractioncases or patients presenting with missing teeth.The CLASS method adds the element of precise lotheight and “In and Out” thickness consistency.The process is designed to approach bracketplacement as total arch coordination. The set-upmay also be used for positioner fabrication. CLASSmay be selected for single or dual arch treatment.A further evolution of the CLASS method is theStraight Wire option. This approach drasticallyreduces the cuspid to bicuspid arch wire off-setbend. The entire wire sequence, from Copper NiTito the finishing wire, is comprised of straight curvedwires carefully selected for each patient’s uniquearch shape. AOA can compliment your IndirectBonding case with your patient’s specific arch wireneeds.Archwire Sequence/Ligation: Requires a low-forceNi-Ti or Copper Ni-Ti archwire.

Archwire ExtenderHawley RetainersThe archwire extender is an accessory inserted intothe molar tube to extend the function of the molortube. This extender allows the practitioner to placea single rectangular archwire through the tubeand not have it become dislodged duringcorrections. The majority of cases use the extenderin the maxillary arch first, then in the mandibulararch as needed. By using the extender, theoperator is still utilizing the light force, low frictionconcept to the maximum, and early treatment isnow achievable in cases which traditionally wouldhave required extractions.Although AOA fabricates Hawley retainers in manyways, our most popular method is to use a plastermodel that impressions were taken beforedebonding the brackets. This method allows AOAample time for fabrication, while allowing thepatient to receive their retainers on the day ofdebonding. Many doctors have found this methodan efficient way to transition from brackets intoretention. Fabrication requires you to take theimpressions right over the brackets and pour themodels in either plaster or stone.The archwire extender is an economical accessoryto treatment where a single rectangular archwireis used rather than multiple wires. Easy to insert,comfortable for the patient, and economical forthe practitioner, the AOA extender is a valuableadjunct to all early Damon treatment!AOA’s retainer department can process virtuallyany clasping request; finger springs, and acrylicmodifications such as bite planes and occlusalcoverage. A wide variety of expansion and singletooth movement screws are available.Archwire ExtendersAnterior and posterior pontics may be requestedin most of our designs, or in your custom design.Just indicate shade preference and we canmatch the shade with precision.

Spring RetainersRed, White & BlueAOA’s most popular designs are ideal forcorrecting minor incisor irregularities such asrotations and tipping. The Spring Retainer can alsobe utilized for passive post orthodontic retentionwhere severe rotations have been corrected. AOAwill reposition the incisors ideally or as ideal asthe malalignment will allow. If requested AOA willreduce (strip) the contacts of each or selectedincisors to create sufficient space whenconstructing the set-up. The appliance is selfactivating due to the changes “programmed”into the construction model by the set-up. Theappliance stretches around the irregular incisorsand coaxes them into position. Over-correctionscan be introduced into the set-up for additionalforce. TMA may be substituted for AOA’s specialspring wire to accommodate unusual degreesof correction.The Red, White and Blue aligner system offers asolution to those adult dentition patients who arejust outside the normal range of other removabletooth aligning appliances, such as Hawley orspring type retainers. RWB is ideal for patients whowant the simplest aesthetic system possible tocorrect minor to intermediate incisal toothmalalignments. In addition to being aestheticallypleasing, RWB will not affect the patient’s speechand is very cost effective.AOA will reposition the incisors ideally or as idealas the malalignment will allow.Upper Helix Coil Spring RetainerRd WhiteWhit andd Bltiis perfectf t ffor minoriiRed,Blue AliAligner SSystemspacingorcrowding and is an ideal appliance for relapse cases.A valuable attribute of our designs is that if onoccasion the patient discontinues wearing theappliance for a period of time the appliance willnormally “flex” sufficiently to seat despite someincisor movement and re-engage the teeth forcorrection.Upper Pro Active I Spring RetainerPro Acctivtive Spriringg RetetainainerserActiveSpringRetainersThe above representative arches display a typical candidate for RWBfrom initial to ideal.Upper Modified Spring HawleyRetainer800.262.522120Sample setup with a sets ofset-upaligners.

PositionersSplintsThe positioner has been considered by manyclinicians to be the most complete means offinishing orthodontic treatment. Combiningmodern materials and fabrication techniqueswith the experience of AOA’s technical staff hasadvanced the positioner to a multipurposeappliance. Its reduced wearing time and lightweight mean improved patient cooperation anda refined finish. Even if the patient doesn’t wearthe positioner as prescribed, the super elasticmaterial will engage and correct alignment.AOA can process splints in many designs. Imagesof the most popular ones are listed here. Specificdesigns and preferences can be incorporated intoyour technical standing instruction file (TSI).Most splint designs can be processed in severalchoices of materials or combinations of materials:splint acrylic, thermoplastic acrylic (which softensslightly when worn) and a soft or hard pressureformed clear plastic. Variflex heat softening acrylicprovides a great option for an entire semi flexiblesplint, or in combination with hard acrylic whenthe occlusal scheme and disocclusion is indicated.Options such as clasping or reverse pull facemaskhooks should be requested on the Rx form.Our set-up technicians can process yourgnathnological cases on virtually any articulatorsystem, including the High Post Panadent and theSam III instruments.Our positioner department has the skill tofabricate accurate and cost efficient “bench”set-ups and positioners. We also specialize inpartial and diagnostic set-ups.The critical factor in any splint fabrication is theconstruction bite provided with the models. Thebite should reflect both the desired inter-occlusalthickness and the horizontal relationship of theupper and lower jaws. Models mounted in anadjustable articulator may offer the best combinationof arch positioning and working and balancingmovements. AOA is equipped with Panadent,SAM and Denar systems as well as our exclusivehinge axis system.ProFlex and FlexiClear PositPositionerstiononersThe majority of the positioner cases forwarded toAOA have the brackets reflected on the models.We remove the brackets and fabricate the set-upand positioner.
