HSSW gauge buccal canine retractor (supported)
0.5mm sheathed with 0.5mm ID tubing
HSSW gauge Roberts retractor
0.5mm sheathed with 0.5mm ID tubing
unsupported buccal canine retractor
0.7mm HSSW - but too much force so don’t work well - don’t really use
palatal finger spring - pressure exerted by spring depends on
size of coil (3-4mm diameter)
thickness of wire (0.5mm HSSW)
overall length of arm inc coil (approx 20mm)
structure of palatal finger spring in URA
active arm engages contact point, applies distal force
guard/guide wire
active arm on top of coil 2/3 into palate/20mm long
3-4mm coil facing mesially
mechanically retained tag embedded within acrylic
waxed out area allowing free movement of spring within acrylic
action of palatal finger spring
can be used to move any tooth M/D along the line of the arch
palatal finger springs to move molars
0.8 mm
palatal finger spring - importance of position of coil
most important as it influences how efficiently the spring moves the tooth
bisect start finish position for position of coil
advantages of palatal finger spring
provides a light pressure and is well tolerated
several springs can be added if required to retract teeth successively
disadvantages of palatal finger spring
cannot move teeth in a palatal direction so unsuitable for buccally placed teeth
if it was used it may move the tooth further buccally and tend to produce rotation
guard wires
incorporated to prevent displacement/distortion of the spring during wear
guard wires position
place away from coil and shouldn’t impede tooth movement
usually 0.5mm HSSW with slight curve so it follows the shape of the arch
open spring and guard wires
may have guard wire placed on tissue side or either side so in action it slides between the 2
boxed spring and guard wires
can have guard wire on tissue side to prevent the spring from becoming distorted
open palatal finger spring
tissues stay much healthier
baseplate of appliance can be much weaker if >1 spring used
easier adjusting as access with the pliers is easier
advisable to use twin guard wires, open springs more liable to distortion if no guard wires used
boxed/closed palatal finger spring
can lead to proliferation of the tissues into the boxed area - not serious problem as only for about 6m
- any temp modification to underlying mucosa quickly reverts to its normal condition after a short time
baseplate much stronger - greater acrylic coverage
acrylic can be used to guide tooth along line of arch
take care to ensure spring over freely within boxed area and has adequate range of movement
what are wire tags needed for in the baseplate?
mechanical retention
ID tubing function
adds strength and rigidity - prevents distortion in buccal sulcus
why does a z spring need a lot of retention?
produces a lot of displacement force
what are FABPs used for?
correction of an overbite
PBP
prop bite open to allow movement of anterior tooth
cover all posterior teeth or some will overerupt
will go back into position when remove
incisors will act as retainer
if 7s are PE where should baseplate finish?
behind 6s
which teeth will overerupt?
posteriors (incisors don’t)
Adams clasp - what should you check first?
flyover then arrowhead
Adams clasp - if flyover distorts and interferes with occlusion
may not engage into UC
if keep biting - metal fatigue - break - could inhale/swallow
arrowhead could dig into gingiva - ST trauma
midline palatal screw
expands the upper arch
