Abstract
The Transmandibular Distractor (TMD) is an intraoral expansion device for symphyseal
widening by callus distraction. Its advantages include limited surgical exposure,
skeletal anchorage, and expansion along the arch segment together with proportional
and differential widening in the frontal plane.
