Clinical Applications

Open Bite Correction
An efficient solution for open bite cases. Position a Trillium Hook strategically on the archwire for effective open bite correction.

Applying traction to a Trillium Hook installed on the archwire results in corrective forces being applied to the entire arch, reducing the potential for the undesirable side effects that can be caused when applying traction to an individual tooth.

Open Bite Correction
Pre-Surgical patient with a Trillium Hook placed in the upper arch in the canine position. Triangular elastics are running from the Trillium Hook to the lower canine / first bicuspid to correct the cant of the mandibular occlusal plane. This approach will avoid the need for the patient to undergo a mandibular osteotomy, limiting the surgical procedure to the maxilla.
