Together with the tomas® system, amda® offers a safe system for the distalization of upper molars. As a skeletal anchorage device it can be used for the bi- or unilateral distalization or the mesialization of upper molars and for the retraction of the upper anterior teeth depending on how it is fitted. The appliance serves as a skeletally anchored transpalatal arch during the retention phase.
amda® is more than merely a distalization appliance. It is the modern alternative to extractions in the case of class II anomalies. The amda® appliance was invented by Prof. Dr. Moschos A. Papadopoulos and developed by Dentaurum in close cooperation.
Dr. Papadopoulos is a Professor and Chairman of the Department of Orthodontics at the School of Dentistry, Aristotle University in Thessaloniki, Greece.
