MiniScopes®


Specialty 3-Part MiniScope®


The Specialty MiniScope® is a self- contained telescope that cannot disengage when the patient opens. The MiniScope® is attached to crowns or bands with special threaded nuts from Specialty along with the AppleCore® screws. The AppleCore® screw allows for additional lateral movement. The mechanism has a right and left side and is available in four lengths.




Specialty 4-Part MiniScope®


The new 4-Part MiniScope® allows the patient a 54 millimeter vertical opening with 40 degrees of lateral movement. The mechanism cannot disengage and is only 16 millimeters from center to center. The AppleCore® screws are used routinely with the 4-Part MiniScope® mechanisms and can be activated using Crimpable shims. The new 4-Part MiniScope® allows the doctor to bracket the upper from second bicuspid to second bicuspid and the lower from first bicuspid to first bicuspid.

The Hanks Telescoping Herbst® arm is a telescoping mechanism with the attachment hex screws built into the connecting housings. The housings feature a ball and socket assembly which promotes lateral movement. The HTH® mechanism has a right and left side and is available in four lengths.
