Quick and easy placement of coil spring.

Area of Science:

• Orthodontics
• Dental Mechanics

Background:

• Palatally displaced teeth often require space creation for alignment.
• Traditional methods of space gaining with open coil springs can be complex and time-consuming.

Purpose of the Study:

• To present an innovative and simplified method for placing compressed open coil springs in orthodontic treatment.
• To address the challenges associated with ligating archwires and compressed coil springs.

Main Methods:

• Utilized a 0.010 supreme AJ Wilcock sectional wire.
• The sectional wire was employed to pre-compress the open coil spring.
• The compressed spring was then easily positioned on the dental arch.

Main Results:

• The described method offers a more manageable approach to space gaining for palatally displaced teeth.
• This technique simplifies the ligation process compared to traditional methods.

Conclusions:

• The use of a 0.010 supreme AJ Wilcock sectional wire provides an efficient alternative for compressing and placing open coil springs.
• This method can improve the clinical workflow for orthodontic space management.
