Abstract
An orthodontic expansion screw is provided having two screw bodies which are displaceable relative to each other by a screw spindle. A guide pin disposed parallel to the spindle is attached to an attachment section of one of the screw bodies and engages a guide bore of the second screw. The screw spindle has threaded sections of counter-rotating threads which engage threaded bores in the screw bodies; such opposed sections extend from an actuating section to which attached. The second screw body has a guide portion which extends from the second screw body portion. The first screw body has a threaded body portion extending from the attachment section whereby maximum separation of the screw bodies is permitted by virtue of the extended threaded bore.
