[QUOTE="Betalab, post: 95916, member: 9682"] Hey Kacey, I can try to give you my knowledge from Australia if you want. If you have been doing ortho for 30 years then you don't need to much info on where to set a screw. We choose to you forestadent "s" type screws as they have a narrow setting width allowing you to set them deeper into the palate and consequently be more effective. The down side is they don't expand as far. ( see PDF.) [url]http://www.forestadent.com/documentpool/infoblaetter_usa/ad_expansion_screws.pdf[/url] It will depend also on what your clients send you. Some will band on 6's and some will band 6's and 4's. whatever the case you need to bend them.
