Transpalatal Arch (TPA)

The Transpalatal Arch is a wire that goes across (trans) the roof of the mouth (palate). It attaches onto bands or rings that are cemented onto the two upper first molar teeth. The TPA can be fixed or soldered to the bands or removable and slide into tubes or sheaths on the inside of the bands.
