Research
The benefits of Philosophy 1™ are demonstrated and documented
Evolution
Dramatically improved compared to the older generation of palatal expanders
Innovation
A new level of refinement of this important orthodontic appliance

Thanks to its innovative features, small dimensions, method of activation, and positioning at just a few millimeters from the palate, Philosophy 1™: 

  • Has a far less invasive presence in the mouth 
  • Minimizes interference with chewing, swallowing and speaking 
  • Eliminates or greatly reduces intra-oral tissue irritation 
  • Improves oral hygiene 
  • Reduces bad breath problems due to fewer food traps

 

Due to the design of the arm and the single expansion mechanism, the dimension of the screw body does not change during treatment. 

Innovative design and Micro-Mechanical technology allow Philosophy 1™ RPE to fit very close to the palate. 

This means it is much closer to the center of resistance of the palatal suture and provides optimal transfer of expansion force. 

Thanks to its design and manufacturing technology, Philosophy 1™ is also applied parallel to the palate. 

Malleable in the laboratory and strong in the mouth. 

The special steel alloy used has unique biomechanical properties that facilitate forming the device while ensuring dimensional stability in the mouth during treatment.
