to all dentists doing ortho! Here’s Part 1 of the transpalatal arch series.

🦷 What’s the difference between these 2 transpalatal arches? 🤔 After my previous video, I could tell many of you were curious! 😄

In Part 1 of this series, I’m breaking down how a transpalatal arch made with traditional molar bands is fabricated 🛠️👩🏻‍⚕️

(And yes… the photo with separators is actually me 🤭 — I know they’re on the lower arch but you get the idea! Fun fact: we placed separators on each other during residency)

Stay tuned for Part 2 — the digital version! 💻✨ If you found this helpful, do give it a like or save — and let me know what else you’d like to see! 💬
