RMO Named Exclusive North American Distributor for Imported Orthodontic Titanium Bone Screws

RMO to distribute orthodontic implant titanium bone screws.

Denver, CO (PRWEB) April 16, 2005 -- Rocky Mountain Orthodontics today announced an agreement with South Korea's Jeil Medical Corporation to be the exclusive distributor of the Asian firm's FDA approved titanium screws for orthodontic implants in North America. Jeil screws provide fixed anchorage for the implants which facilitate orthodontic movement. They are for temporary use for a specific procedure, and are removed when that procedure is completed.

According to RMO, implants employing Jeil screws eliminate the need for patient compliance associated with other treatment protocols. In addition, they have been shown to reduce the need for surgeries and extractions and to shorten treatment time. Only a local anesthetic is needed for placing the screw, and no anesthesia is required for screw removal. The manufacturer also reports that screw-secured implants limit detrimental and unwanted tooth movement and provide for greater stability.

Clinical applications for the implant system include upper molar intrusion, lower molar protraction, molar positioning controlled in all directions, anterior cross bites, open bites and upper molar distalization.

RMO has been a pioneer in the creation and marketing of a broad range of quality products and services for more than 70 years and is a leading multinational specializing in orthodontics. Jeil Medical Corporation, based in Seoul, South Korea, has concentrated on manufacturing bone plate screws for dental implants since 2000.
