T-Rex

The T-Rex variation is a Pendex design with additional wires extended out of the acrylic plate and soldered to the molar bands. These wires prevent the pre-activated springs from distalizing the molars until after the arch has been widened. When the clinician wishes to release the springs, they can clip these wires and smooth off the sharp ends to allow the springs to begin distalizing the molars.
