The Design of Buccal Canine Retraction Springs for Removable Orthodontic Appliances
Year: 1977 Journal: British Journal of Orthodontics Vol: 4 (4)Pages: 191-195 Publisher: Maney Publishing
Abstract
The Characteristics of three types of buccal canine retraction springs are investigated. In general, these springs are unduly stiff and so excessive forces can be applied by even small activations. Additionally, they can be unstable vertically. By careful attention to geometry, it is possible to design a spring with acceptable clinical properties.
