The Fränkel II (Frankel Type II) appliance is a unique, tissue-supported device that focuses on muscle training and spatial awareness within the oral cavity. Unlike traditional tooth-borne appliances, this bioblock-style regulator rests on the soft tissues and gently guides the natural posture of the lips, cheeks, and tongue. Crafted to fit your individual dental impression, the Fränkel II is a standout among removable appliances – lightweight, flexible, and easy to wear.

Wearing Experience:
This appliance feels noticeably different from traditional tooth-supported devices. It rests in the vestibular areas rather than on the teeth themselves. You may feel the functional shields gently pressing against your cheeks and lips, which may influence speech and facial posture in the beginning. The tongue remains free, and breathing and swallowing feel natural.

Key Features

  • Functional Shields:
    Soft acrylic side panels extend into the vestibular spaces between the lips/cheeks and the dental arches. These shields help reduce muscle pressure on the teeth and promote balanced facial muscle activity.
  • Wire Framework:
    A carefully contoured stainless steel frame provides structural integrity and secures the appliance’s position without anchoring directly to the teeth. The labial and lingual wires are shaped for comfort and resilience.
  • Palatal-Free Design:
    The Fränkel II does not cover the palate or bite surfaces, allowing for free tongue movement and uninhibited growth of the dental arches.
  • Color Options:
    The visible acrylic shields can be personalized in a wide range of colors to reflect your individual style.

Frequently Asked Questions

For a custom-made appliance, suitable records are needed for each jaw required by the product and selected options. You may be able to use recent dentist-taken impressions, compatible intraoral scans, or suitable records retained from a previous order. If you do not have suitable records, add an impression kit to your order. Records are required before fabrication, not before checkout.

Upload clear photos through the customer portal before returning your impressions. We will review them and let you know if another impression is needed. The kit contains material for two attempts. If you need another kit, contact us about a discounted replacement.

Overall processing for most custom-made products usually takes approximately 10 to 20 business days after usable impressions or suitable scan files have been received. This includes fabrication and forwarding to the fulfillment center. Final delivery takes additional time depending on your destination and shipping method. These timeframes are estimates.

Email [email protected] with your order number, a description of the problem, and clear photos. We will review the case and explain the available options. Minor rework is normally free apart from applicable shipping. If a complete remake is needed, its cost depends on the cause and the case review.

In many cases, yes. Digital scans are archived, and physical impressions are generally stored for at least 1 to 2 years, subject to availability. Reuse depends on whether suitable records remain available and your teeth have not changed. Mention your previous order in checkout Notes so we can check.

Upload clear photos through the customer portal linked in your order-status emails. If you cannot use the portal, email the photos with your order number to [email protected]. After approval, you will receive the appropriate return instructions and address or return label. Please wait for these instructions before sending your impressions.

Orders delivered within the USA from our US fulfillment center or within the EU from Germany normally do not incur import duties within those regions. Other destinations may be subject to local customs fees or import taxes.

We can explain product construction, available options, and ordering requirements. We cannot assess dental conditions or recommend a product for treatment. For treatment-related suitability, consult a licensed local orthodontist.
