Fast space closure

​
Space closure seemed to be space technology - far away and sometimes out of control.
The HYCON™ is the solution for planable, precise, and pain free space closure even in difficult cases.

PERFORMANCE

The tooth movement is determined solely by the advancement of the screw thread. The thread has been precisely calculated to a pitch of 0.014” – enabling you to multiply this pitch by number of turns to precisely advance the screw and close the space with complete understanding and control.

POWER

Activated in small steps of intervals best suited to maintain adequate blood supply, closely emulates ideal bodily movement and produces pain free space closure for the patient.

SPEED

The HYCON™ is activated in small steps at intervals that create an intermittent tooth movement. This allows recovery of the tissue in-between activations, and provides the physiological stimulus for the alteration processes. This perfect balance provides high efficiency in tooth movement.

EXTRA BENEFIT

Easily installed at the beginning of space closure with two options to choose from. Can be used with or without an auxiliary tube on your buccal tube. Also easily activated, a small screwdriver with a uniquely design safety head is simply used to turn the screw.

Conventional Mechanics

Elastic continuous force challenges 

  • Too much force application compresses blood vessels and osteoblasts die off.
  • Periodontal ligament compressed beyond 70% - Blood vessels are compressed, tooth movement stops.
  • Unintentional tooth movement. Too little force application resulting in no movement.
  • High pain and discomfort for the patient. - PAIN FULL

 HYCON™ Mechanics

the mathematics of the screw

  • Movement can be measured as to not overpower the PDL beyond 70% maintaining ideal blood supply.
  • Capable of overcoming any friction in the system.
  • Capable of controlled activation in intervals based on periodontal health. - PAIN FREE

HYCON™ screw — the mathematics of successful space closure.
In contrast to elastic force, you are able to control the compression of the periodontal ligament by activating within the distance of the periodontal ligament. The size and pitch of the screw threads is directly proportional to the movement of the screw. The distance the screw travels can easily be determined – each 180° rotation moves the screw 0.0175mm.
