Excellent video on torquing springs.Makes all the concept clear.Having read everyone's questionnaire and answers I understood that using 17*25 Rect as the archwire and torquing loops can be made with .016 or .018 ss or 18*25 TMA wire.The technique is so helpful. Thanks so much once again
Thanks a lot for sharing this. If I Wanted to apply a lower force to begin with, should I make the spring not so flat to the floor (3:50), but pointing towards the roots (for root lingual torque - lower teeth) at an angle? Also because the force depends on the size of the main AW too
If the spring is bent to push lingually on the crown, the edgewise wire will twist to produce labial root torque (Figs 1-3b). This is an example of an impossi- ble appliance. Placing the auxiliary on a round wire makes the mechanism possible (Fig 1-3c). The biomechanical foundation of clinical orthodontics
If I am using slot 22 MBT what minimum size of wire should I use 19*25? In other words can the torque spring be applied on AW circular SS wires or it will cause alot of uncontrolled tipping?
Hi doc, for all anterior teeth torqueing, is it needed to attach each anterior brackets with torque springs? Or Is it possible to put only two springs while wire ligating the anteriors together? Thanks
hi! i use regular grade SS. the round wire is wrapped around the rectangular tightly to provide the force. in most cases, I have to crimp the springs to better the grip.
@@jvaraneta I will discuss this with my orthodontist. It's my tooth that's at an incline and they plan on removing the braces in January 2019. I'm not sure if they've taken this tooth into account
Andrada Fița i dont know how i can help but it would be best to talk to your dentist about your case. Or you could get a second opinion. If you don’t agree with your current dentist, it is your right to find someone you like.
