Bi-Helix (Correct Crowding And Align Molars With Ease)

· Those in Krakow looking to correct a constricted lower jaw.
· Those who want to create space in crowded teeth.
· Those who want to upright molars effectively.
· Those who wish to improve dental arch development.
· Those who wish to have a comfortable orthodontic appliance.

Bi-Helix is a wire-based orthodontic appliance, typically made from stainless steel. It is designed to expand the mandibular (lower) dental arch while simultaneously uprighting molars. The appliance features two helix coils that apply gentle pressure to move teeth into the desired position. This design allows for patient comfort while achieving effective arch development. Bi-Helix can also be used to create space in crowded teeth, making it a versatile solution for posterior crossbites and alignment issues. It is a modification of the traditional quad helix, with fewer coils to reduce bulk and enhance comfort.

Bi-Helix works through gentle and continuous pressure applied by its helix coils. Custom-made for each patient using dental impressions, it is fitted onto the molars with bands or attachments cemented to the teeth. Once in place, the appliance gradually widens the dental arch and uprights molars over time.

The dentist at our affiliated clinic monitors progress and makes adjustments during regular follow-up visits, ensuring controlled movement and optimal results. Patients need to maintain proper oral hygiene to prevent plaque buildup around the fixed appliance. Treatment typically lasts between 6 to 12 months, depending on the severity of the dental condition, with continued monitoring until the arch stabilizes.

Q1: Which is better, Quad Helix or Bi-Helix?
A1: Bi-Helix has 2 helix coils and is often preferred for mild to moderate arch expansion and molar uprighting, while the Quad Helix has 4 coils and may be recommended for more extensive expansion needs.

Q2: Can adults use Bi-Helix?
A2: Bi-Helix is mainly used for children and adolescents because their jaws are still growing. In adults, the jawbone is less flexible, so expansion may be slower or may require surgical assistance.

Q3: Does Bi-Helix cause pain?
A3: Some mild pressure or soreness is normal during the first few days after activation. This usually eases as your teeth gradually move.

Q4: What foods should I avoid with Bi-Helix?
A4: Hard, sticky, or chewy foods – like nuts, caramel, and chewing gum – should be avoided, as they can bend or dislodge the appliance. Soft foods are recommended until you adapt.

Q5: How long does Bi-Helix last?
A5: The active treatment phase with Bi-Helix usually lasts 6 to 12 months, depending on the amount of expansion required. Afterward, a retainer may be used to maintain results.
