Many patients display a V-shaped or Gothic arch form due to abnormal habits or airway issues during their development. In such cases, the arch may only be narrow in the front region. Therefore, using an expansion appliance that expands equally in both the posterior and anterior areas would not be advisable. The Fixed Fan Screw appliance can achieve up to 9mm of lateral arch development, primarily focusing on movement in the anterior/cuspid area.

This appliance is usually soldered to bands attached to the first permanent molars and first bicuspids, though some practitioners to band only the molars. In such instances, it is recommended to secure the anterior part of the appliance by applying bonding material over a wire rest.
