Halterman Appliance

The Halterman appliance is a specialized orthodontic add-on designed to assist in the eruption of impacted teeth. Typically used in conjunction with a lower lingual arch or an upper Nance appliance, it provides targeted support to guide impacted teeth into proper alignment. The appliance features a bar that is securely laser welded to the lingual or buccal side of the band, ensuring stability throughout the treatment. The Halterman is an effective solution for managing impacted teeth while maintaining overall dental structure and function.

More About Halterman Appliance

Also Known As:
Halterman distalizer
Who Made Me:

Developed by Dr. Scott Halterman in the 1980s, the Halterman Appliance is designed to distalize upper molars without the need for patient compliance. It uses a hook bonded to the upper first molar and an attachment to the primary second molar to guide the molar distally. The appliance has undergone minimal modifications since its creation and remains a widely used method for achieving molar distalization in mixed dentition.
