LM-ACTIVATOR™ MODEL ASSORTMENT FEATURES
With LM-Activator™ alignment, leveling and anteroposterior correction can be done at the same time without separate phases. A large assortment of models makes it possible to select the appropriate appliance for the patient. Treatment complexity for both the clinician and the patient can be reduced.
The two basic LM-Activator™ model features are: Low and High. These are available with shorter or longer molar sections: Short and Long. The appliances are combinations of these features. The choice of model should always be based on an examination and diagnosis done by or under supervision of a specialist in orthodontic treatment.
