Braces Explained: TPA (Transpalatal Arch) • Dr. Greg’s Oral Hygiene Products: https://www.amazon.com/shop/drgregortho • • In this video we will be answering “what are TPAs, or transpalatal arches, and what are they used for?” • The TPA is a bar that runs from one side of the mouth to the other that often has a small adjustable loop on the top of the palate. It is usually soldered to bands on your molars and is made by a laboratory prior to being cemented. It is often used after expansion to hold the width and prevent relapse until the bone has filled in. TPAs can also be used for anchorage by being added to a Nance appliance (see link below) for cases of extractions and/or space maintenance. Additionally, in certain scenarios TPAs can be used to correct rotations. • ⚫️ Link to Merchandise : https://teespring.com/stores/dr-gregs... • 🔴 Subscribe for more orthodontic content: https://www.youtube.com/drgregasatria... • 🔵 Share this video with a YouTuber friend: • Braces TPA (Transpalatal Arch) • Videos on: • Hyrax Expander – • [BRACES EXPLAINED] Palatal Expanders • Bands – • Braces Bands vs Brackets for Molars i... • Nance – • [BRACES EXPLAINED] TADs / Mini Implants • Big thank you to Accutech Laboratory for their continued support of this channel and allowing for me to borrow their model to help demonstrate these appliances. https://www.accutechortho.com/ • As always, if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me via the comments below! • See you next time! • Greg Asatrian, D.D.S., M.S. • http://asatrianortho.com/ • Instagram: / drgregortho • This video may contain orthodontic appliances, devices and/or procedural content.
