Installation of the Haas appliance is an orthodontic treatment aimed at expansion of the upper jaw in children and adolescents during the active growth period. The appliance is fixed to the teeth and the palate and allows correction of maxillary constriction, creating conditions for proper bite formation and harmonious development of the dentofacial system.
When is installation of the Haas appliance required?
Treatment is indicated in cases of maxillary constriction, crossbite, dental crowding, impaired nasal breathing, as well as discrepancy between the sizes of the upper and lower jaws. The Haas appliance is most commonly used in childhood and adolescence, when bone structures are still responsive to orthopedic correction.
How does the treatment proceed?
Before installation, orthodontic diagnostics are performed with assessment of the bite and jaw structures. The appliance is fabricated individually and fixed to the upper jaw. Expansion is carried out gradually through activation of the screw according to a prescribed schedule. Throughout the treatment, the patient remains under regular orthodontic supervision to monitor the dynamics of expansion and adaptation of the dentofacial system.
Main advantages of Haas appliance treatment in Belarus
Early orthodontic correction is performed with individualized appliance selection and continuous monitoring at all stages of treatment. A structured approach makes it possible to create space for eruption of permanent teeth, improve occlusion, and reduce the need for more complex orthodontic treatment in the future.
Installation of the Haas appliance is available in leading clinics in Belarus, where a modern orthodontic approach, accurate diagnostics, and long-term monitoring of the child’s dentofacial development are provided.
