Abstract:
The structural theory and fabrication of a self-designed rotating auxiliary spring in edgewise technique were described. Rotating auxiliary spring was applied to correct rotated tooth in clinic. It indicated that rotating auxiliary spring was an easy-fabricated, convenient-manipulated device, and could produce an effective treatment results in correcting rotated tooth, especially in the final adjustment stage.
