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.
