SPACE CLOSURE BY
FRICTIONLESS MECHANICS
INDIAN DENTAL ACADEMY
Leader in continuing dental education
www.indiandentalacademy.com

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Introduction:
Space closure is an important step in mechanotherapy,
solely dictated by clinical treatment objectives and is
irrespective of method employed
Space closure should be individually tailored based on the
diagnosis & treatment plan
Selection of any method should be based on desired tooth
movement

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Goals for any space closure method
Differential space closure capability
Axial inclination control
Control of rotation & arch width
Optimum biological response
Minimum patient cooperation
Operator convenience

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Determinants of space closure
Amount of crowding

Anchorage
Axial inclination of canine & incisors

Midline discrepancy & L/R symmetry
Vertical dimensions

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Amount of crowding:
Extractions are Usually done to relive crowding
In case of severe crowding anchorage control becomes
very crucial
Maintaining anchorage while creating space for
decrowding is important

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Anchorage:
Anchorage classification & concept of differential
anchorage is important.
Using the same mechanics for different anchorage need
limits the results

Reinforcement methods can be used in critical
anchorage situations.
Using a force system determined appliance design can
improve chances of success.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Axial inclination of canines & incisors
Inclination of canine and incisor are particularly important.
When same force and moment applied to a tooth or a group
of teeth with different axial inclination will result in
different type of tooth movement.
Example in case of unfavorable positioned canine(root
mesial crown distal)

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Axial inclination of canines & incisors

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Midline discrepancy & L/R symmetry:
Mid line discrepancies with or without an asymmetric
L/R occlusal relationship corrected as early as possible
Asymmetrical forces on L/R could result in unilateral
vertical forces, skewing of dental arch or asymmetrical
anchorage loss.

Vertical dimensions:
Undesired vertical forces may result in ↑ Lower Facial
Height, ↑ interlabial gap & excessive gingival display.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Minor & major cuspid retraction:
Depend upon severity of crowding in anterior segment,
anchorage requirements & axial inclination of canine
• Minor : refers to uncontrolled tipping of canine when 1-2
mm arch length is required per side (lace back)
• Major :controlled tipping or translation of canine when
more than 3 mm arch length is required per side.
• If canine inclination is ideal then translation is preferred

Retraction mechanics divided into
• Sliding (Frictional) mechanics involves either moving

the brackets along the arch wire or sliding the arch wire
through bracket & tube

• Loop (Frictionless) mechanics involves movement of
teeth without the brackets sliding along the arch wire
but with the help of loops

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Moderate Anchorage situation
Treatment with 18- slot:
either sliding or loop mechanics can be used.
Single or narrow twin brackets on canine & PM is ideally
suited for use of closing loops in continuous arch wire

Treatment with 22- slot:
As a general rule space closure done in two steps
First retracting the canine usually with sliding mechanics
2nd retracting four incisors usually with closing loop
Enmasse – using Opus or T loop but less than ideal

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Maximum Anchorage situations
Treatment with 18- slot:
Friction from sliding is usually avoided, and employing closing
loops preferred.
Anchorage is augmented & anchorage strain is reduced by:
Adding stabilizing lingual arch.

Reinforce maxillary posterior anchorage with Extra-Oral force.
Class III elastics from high pull head gear to supplement
retraction force in lower arch
Retraction of canine independently, preferably using a
segmental closing loop & then retracting incisors with 2nd
closing loop.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Maximum Anchorage situations
Treatment with 22- slot:
Like 18 – slot Anchorage is augmented & anchorage strain is
reduced
Canine can be retracted with sliding by
Reinforcing posterior anchorage with extra oral force
Application of extra oral force directly against canine
to slide them posteriorly.
Use of segmented arch mechanics for retraction
Segmented arch mechanics for tipping/ uprighting

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Minimum Anchorage situations
Requires anchor control, to reduce incisor retraction by:

By incorporating as many teeth in anterior segment
Locating the extraction site more posteriorly.
Placing active lingual torque in incisor section of archwires

To breakdown posterior anchorage(moving one tooth a time)
Use of extra-oral force (face mask)
Use of implants/ onplants to protract posteriors.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Retraction methods:
1. Staged approach:
Methods of canine retraction:
Friction
Frictionless: Paul Gjessing spring, Burstone T loop,
Delta loop, L loop, Omega loop
Extra oral: Head gear - Four hooked for both the arches
Other methods:
Retraction using Rare earth magnets
Rapid canine retraction through Distraction of PDL
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Staged approach:
Methods of en-masse retraction of four incisors:
Friction
Frictionless : P.G spring, Burstone T loop, Delta loop,
L loop, Retraction utility arch,
Omega loop arch wire or
Closing loop arch wire
Extra oral : Head gears
Intrusion & retraction of four incisors:
Burstone three piece intrusion arch
Rickets Retraction & intrusion utility arch
www.indiandentalacademy.com
2. Enmasse retraction of six anteriors:
Friction
Frictionless – Closing loops,
Burstone T loop continuous arch wire,
Opus loop (Siatkowaski)

Simultaneous retraction & intrusion of six anteriors:
K - Sir Arch

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Sliding / Friction Mechanics:
Tooth is retracted or slides through the arch wire, it
involves either moving the brackets along the arch wire or
sliding the arch wire through bracket & tube.
It is used for both individual canine and enmasse
Retraction
Friction is present due to surface irregularities of arch wire
and bracket

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Various methods used:
Elastic modules with ligature wire
Elastomeric chains
Stainless steel
Closed coil springs
NiTi
Co-Cr-Ni
J hook head gear
Mulligan V bend sliding mechanics
Employing tip-Edge brackets on canines.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Advantages:
Minimal wire bending time
More efficient sliding of arch wire through posterior
bracket slots
No running out of space for activation
Patient comfort
Less time consumption for placement

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Disadvantages of sliding mechanics:
1. Variable force.
2. Confusion regarding ideal force levels.
3. E-chain absorbs water and saliva when exposed to oral
environment causing degradation of force by 50%-70% by
the 1st day.
4. Excess Stretching of E-chain causes breakdown of internal
bond leading to permanent deformation.
5. Tendency of overactive elastic causing initial tipping & inadequate
rebound time for uprighting if forces are activated too frequently

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Disadvantages
6. Staining of E-chain
7. Dependent on patient cooperation in case of elastic bands
8. Due to friction and binding between bracket and arch wire
applied force should be higher than the required optimum force
because of decay in force
9. Generally slower than loop mechanics due to friction
Due to all these problems in friction or sliding mechanics,
frictionless mechanics stands in better position for retraction, as
monitoring of optimum force can be done effectively and it is
active for a longer duration of time.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Loop / Frictionless Mechanics:
Loop (Frictionless) mechanics involves movement of teeth
without the brackets sliding along the arch wire but with the
help of loops
Force generated intrinsically by arch wire

By incorporating loops in arch wire
Energy is stored in loops and release it in slow and
continuous fashion
There is no friction between archwire and bracket
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Biomechanics of frictionless mechanics:
The teeth in an arch wire will invariably assumes the
passive position of the arch wire.
When a bend is placed in the middle of the archwire and
engaged into brackets two equal and opposite moments are
produced
When offset bend is placed differential moments are
produced. (as anchor bend in Begg technique.)

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Biomechanics
Greater clockwise moment
(extrusion) in posterior
segment (near to the v- bend)
& smaller anti-clockwise

moment (intrusion force) in
anterior segment (away from
the v- bend) is produced.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
This same principles apply in Frictionless mechanics
where instead of a bend a loop is placed in the wire.
Bends are placed on the mesial & distal legs of loop, called
Alpha (α) & Beta (β) bends respectively.

These bends produce Alpha and Beta moments when wire is
placed into bracket
www.indiandentalacademy.com
If β moment > α moment

Biomechanics

anchorage enhanced by mesial root movement of
posterior segment

posterior extrusion & anterior Intrusion
If α moment > β moment

anchorage of anterior segment is increased by distal root
movement
anterior Extrusion & posterior Intrusion
If both equal

no vertical force
www.indiandentalacademy.com
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Biomechanics

Moment is determined by the loop design
Activation of loops produces the force in frictionless
mechanics.

Activated by pulling the distal end of wire through molar
tube and cinching back or by soldering a tie back mesial to
molar tube on archwire
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Biomechanics

Moment to force ratio (M/F) determines the type of tooth
movement.
Moment to force ratio for various tooth movements:
M/F Ratio

Tooth movement

5:1

-

Uncontrolled tipping

8:1

-

Controlled tipping

10 : 1

-

Translation

>10 : 1

-

Root movement

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Biomechanics
According to Charles Burstone - moment to force ratio for
translation is about 10:1.
A regular 10mm high vertical loop offers a M:F ratio of
only 3:1 when it is activated by 1mm.

To get M:F ratio of 10:1, activation should be reduced to
0.2mm, but the force level is not sufficient for retraction

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Biomechanics

M/F could be increased by (Burstone & Koenig)
By ↑ vertical dimension of loop (but it has limitation as
available space in the vestibule)
↑ horizontal dimension in apical part of loop
↑ Apical length of the wire

Helix incorporation
Angulations of loop legs
↓ inter bracket distance
Positioning loop close to tooth to be retracted bodily
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Biomechanics

The most effective way to increase M:F ratio is placing
Pre Activation Bends Or Gable Bends.
These bends can be placed within the loops or where loop meets
the arch wire.
As we try to engage the wire into bracket we pull the horizontal
arm of the loop down producing a moment called the activation
moment and the loop is said to be in NEUTRAL POSITION

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Biomechanics

The M:F ratio increases as spring gets deactivated as the
space closes.

Sequence of tooth movement with changes in M/F ratio:
Controlled tipping (8:1)
Translation (10:1)
Root movement (12:1)

So spring should not be activated too frequently
www.indiandentalacademy.com
SPACE CLOSING LOOPS
Design considerations:
Closing loop arch wires should be fabricated from rectangular
wire to prevent wire from rolling in the bracket slot
The performance of the loop, from the perspective of
engineering theory, is determined by 3 major characteristics
1. Spring properties
2. Moment it generates
3. Its location
[William. R. Proffit]
www.indiandentalacademy.com
1. SPRING PROPERTIES
The amount of force it delivers and the way the force changes
as the teeth move.
It is determined almost totally by the
Wire material - Stainless steel
- Beta-Titanium
Size of the wire

Distance between points of attachment
distance between bracket
amount of wire incorporated

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Changing the size of the wire produce largest change in
its characteristics, but the amount of wire incorporated in
the loop is also important

[William. R. Proffit]
www.indiandentalacademy.com
2.Moment it generates
To close an extraction space while producing bodily tooth
movement closing loop must generate not only closing
force but also appropriate Moments to bring the root apices
together
This requirement to generate a movement limits the
amount of wire that can be incorporated to make a closing
loop springier, because if the loop becomes too flexible, it
will be unable to generate the necessary moments

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Loop design is also affected.
Placing some of the wire within the closing Loop in a
horizontal rather than vertical direction improves its ability
to deliver the moments needed to prevent tipping.
To generate appropriate moments additional moments must
be generated by Gable bends

www.indiandentalacademy.com
3.Its location:
Its location is very important for its performance in
closing space.
As gable bends are incorporated, the closing loops
functions as the V bend in the arch wire. Effect of V bend
is very sensitive to its location
There can be 3 locations of V bend
1.Equal distance

2.Closure to anterior
3.Closure to Posterior
www.indiandentalacademy.com
If it is in the center of the span a V-bend produce:
Equal forces and
Equal couples on the adjacent teeth

www.indiandentalacademy.com
If it is one-third of the way between adjacent brackets,
the tooth closer to the loop - extruded &
moment - root toward the V-bend,
tooth farther away - intrusive force but no moment

www.indiandentalacademy.com
4.Additional design principle
Fail safe: this means that, although a reasonable range of
action is desired from each activation, tooth movement
should stop after that, even if patient does not come for
scheduled appointment.
Design should be as simple as possible
During activation of loop it is considered more effective
when it is closed rather than opened

www.indiandentalacademy.com
www.indiandentalacademy.com
INDIVIDUAL CANINE RETRACTION:
It is important to do individual canine retraction in
maximum anchorage cases.
Correct positioning of the canine after retraction is
imperative for function, stability and esthetics
This requires the creation of a bio mechanical system to
deliver a predetermined force and a relatively constant
moment-to-force ratios in order to avoid distal tipping and
rotation.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
For translation of canine :
The displacement of canine depends on the relationship
between the line of force and the center of resistance (CR)
Application of force through CR.

VARIOUS CANINE RETRACTION
SPRINGS:
1. T-loop spring (Burstone - AJO/1976)
2. Cuspid retractor (Rickett - AJO/76)
3. P.G spring (P. Gjessing - AJO/1985)

4. Cuspid retractor (R. Haskell - AJO/1990)
5. Nickel-Titanium canine retraction Spring
(Yasoo Watanabe - JCO/2002 )

www.indiandentalacademy.com
T-LOOP SPRING:

(BURSTONE/AJO/1976)

Burstone called it the Attraction Spring
used for:
Canine Retraction - severe crowding cases and
high anchorage (group-A) cases.
Enmasse Retraction - four incisors after canine retraction

www.indiandentalacademy.com
T-LOOP SPRING:
Wire selection for loop:
18- slot: 16 x 22 SS or 17 x 25 TMA
22- slot: 18 x 25 SS or 19 x 25 TMA
Base arch wire: 21 x 25 in SS

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Neutral Position:

Activated position:

The pre-activated spring with the anti tip (M/F- 11:1) and anti
rotation (M/F- 4:1) is placed
Activated by pulling it and giving a distal cinch back.
Activation on insertion is 6- 7mm
www.indiandentalacademy.com
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Activation on insertion is 6-7mm
The M/F ratio is 8:1 – controlled tipping

Now as the tooth moves the activation reduced to 4mm the
force is reduced.
M/F ratio is further increased to 10:1 - bodily movement
The activation is reduced to 2mm – force is further reduced
M/F ratio increased to 12:1 – root uprighting
So spring should not be activated too frequently
Spring usually activated every 4-6 weeks

Occlusal loop
Spring design:
Ovoid Double Helix Loop - reduce the load deflection of
the spring
Placed gingivally - activation will cause a tipping of the
short horizontal arm (attached to the canine)
In a direction that will increase the couple acting on the
tooth.
Smaller loop - occlusally - lower levels of activation on
insertion in the brackets in the short arm (couple)
Formed so that activation further closes the loops.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
sweep in the distal leg - eliminates undesirable ß moments
acting at second premolar bracket
(which tend to move the root apex too far mesially)

Activation:
By pulling the distal, horizontal leg through the molar tube.
Force level of approximately 160 gm is obtained when the
two sections of the double helix are separated 1 mm.
Activation is repeated every 4 weeks, and the canine is
expected to undergo approximately 1.5 mm of controlled
movement with each activation.

NITI CANINE RETRACTION SPRING:
(Yasoo Watanabe, JCO/2002)

Made from .016" ×.022" Titanal wire, with anti-tip and antirotation bends incorporated in closing loop.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Clinical implications:
Major advantage of this spring is the ability to use it
without a preliminary leveling stage,
Because it can simultaneously retract the canines and level
the posterior teeth.
Its light, continuous force allows an activation of as much
as 10mm to complete canine retraction without reactivation
of the closing loop.
Spring provides continuous forces and moments over a
broad range of activation.
And the closing force can be maintained within normal
biological and physiological limits.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
www.indiandentalacademy.com
EN-MASSE RETRACTION:
Retracting group of teeth together as a single unit.

Can effectively be employed in moderate and minimum
anchorage cases
Simultaneous intrusion and retraction of the anterior teeth,
maintaining torque control may also be employed
En-masse retraction is done with a continuous arch wire with
one closing loop each side distal to cuspid.
Differential force technique and location of loop can be placed
depending on the type of anchorage.
www.indiandentalacademy.com

OPUS LOOP:
- RAYMOND.E.SIATOWSKI (AJO/1997 )

Used for en-masse retraction of all six anterior Teeth
Wire sizes: 0.016 X 0.022 S.S, or 0.018 X 0.025 S.S. wire.

0.017 X 0.025 inch TMA
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Development of opus loop:
M/F required for translation
Individual teeth: 7.1-10.2 mm

Groups of teeth: 8.0-9.1 mm
Most closing loops have inherent M/F 4-5 mm or less

To achieve net translation, need to add residual moments
Gable bends anterior & posterior
Posterior gable bend & anterior wire-bracket twist

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Development of opus loop:
Disadvantage of gable bend:
Cycle of Tipping- translation- uprighting (lower Young's
Modulus materials go through fewer of these cycles for a
given distance of space closure).
Correct magnitude of residual moments are difficult to
achieve
Changing areas of stress distribution in the pdl may not
yield most rapid, least traumatic method of space closure

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Development of opus loop:
Study: design and verify loop design capable of delivering
M/F inherently without adding residual moments.

Castigliano’s Theorem: to derive M/F ratio in terms of
loop geometry.
Using Castigliano's theorem, and refined, using FEM
simulations, and verified experimentally a new design, the
Opus Loop was developed.

capable of delivering a target M/F within the range of 8.09.1 mm inherently, without adding residual moments.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Advantages:
more precise force systems with non varying M/F can be
delivered
Groups of teeth therefore can be moved more accurately
en masse space closure with uniform PDL stress distributions more rapid tooth movement with less chance of traumatic side
effects
neutral position is the same as the inactivated position - allows
known forces systems to be applied to the teeth

Disadvantages:
loops must be bent accurately to achieve their design potential.
All the dimensions are critical to the performance of the loop

TRANSLATION ARCH:
- ROBERTO MARTINA (JCO/1997 )
kind of utility arch - simultaneously retract, torque, and intrude
or control the extrusion of the maxillary incisors.
made of .016" × .022" TMA for .018" bracket slots
anterior segment inserted into incisor brackets, and
two buccal segments into gingival first molar tubes
Two loops - connect the anterior and posterior segments
- extended as far vertically as possible

www.indiandentalacademy.com
A distal activation of 2mm on each end of the arch will produce
the 100g of horizontal force needed for incisor retraction
To achieve a moment-to-force ratio of 10, placing a 3rd-order
activation (root-palatal torque) in the anterior segment of the
arch.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
3rd-order activation should produce an intrusive force of
about 20g on each molar.

Extrusive force exerted on the anterior teeth.
To compensate this side effect - tipback / arc (preferably)
bent into each buccal segment to produce an intrusive force

continuous .019" X .025" TMA archwire
with closed 7mm X 2mm U-loops at the extraction sites

www.indiandentalacademy.com
To obtain bodily movement and prevent tipping of the teeth
into the extraction spaces, a 90° V-bend is placed in the
archwire at the level of each U-loop
Centered 90° V-bend creates two equal and opposite
moments that counter tipping moments produced by
activation forces.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Off-center 60° V-bend placed about 2mm distal to U-loop.
Off-center V-bend creates greater moment on molar, increasing
molar anchorage and intrusion of anterior teeth.

20° anti-rotation bends placed in the archwire just distal to U-loop

www.indiandentalacademy.com
A trial activation of the archwire is performed outside the mouth
trial activation releases the stress built up from bending the wire and thus
reduces the severity of the V-bends

Neutral position of loop
determined with mesial and
distal legs extended horizontally.

In neutral position, loop is
3.5mm rather than 2mm wide.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
The archwire is inserted into the auxiliary tubes of the first molars and
engaged in the six anterior brackets
Second premolar bypassed - ↑ IBD
First molar and second premolar are connected by segment of
.019" X .025" TMA wire
It is activated about 3mm, so that the mesial and distal legs of the loops
are barely apart

www.indiandentalacademy.com
archwire exerts 125 gm intrusive force on anteriors & similar amount of
extrusive force distributed between two buccal segments
archwire should not be reactivated at short intervals, but only every
six to eight weeks until all space has been closed.

Advantages:
Simplicity of design- ease of fabrication

Comfortable to the patient
TMA- low forces, low LDR, long range of action
En masse retraction- Shortens treatment time- prevents appearance of
unsightly space distal to incisors.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
CONCLUSION
A good understanding of mechanics is required
when using retraction loops or springs, because
minor errors in mechanics can result in major
errors in tooth movement

Space closure by frictionless mechanics 2 /certified fixed orthodontic courses by Indian dental academy

  • 1. SPACE CLOSURE BY FRICTIONLESS MECHANICS INDIAN DENTAL ACADEMY Leader in continuing dental education www.indiandentalacademy.com www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 2. Introduction: Space closure is an important step in mechanotherapy, solely dictated by clinical treatment objectives and is irrespective of method employed Space closure should be individually tailored based on the diagnosis & treatment plan Selection of any method should be based on desired tooth movement www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 3. Goals for any space closure method Differential space closure capability Axial inclination control Control of rotation & arch width Optimum biological response Minimum patient cooperation Operator convenience www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 4. Determinants of space closure Amount of crowding Anchorage Axial inclination of canine & incisors Midline discrepancy & L/R symmetry Vertical dimensions www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 5. Amount of crowding: Extractions are Usually done to relive crowding In case of severe crowding anchorage control becomes very crucial Maintaining anchorage while creating space for decrowding is important www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 6. Anchorage: Anchorage classification & concept of differential anchorage is important. Using the same mechanics for different anchorage need limits the results Reinforcement methods can be used in critical anchorage situations. Using a force system determined appliance design can improve chances of success. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 7. Axial inclination of canines & incisors Inclination of canine and incisor are particularly important. When same force and moment applied to a tooth or a group of teeth with different axial inclination will result in different type of tooth movement. Example in case of unfavorable positioned canine(root mesial crown distal) www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 8. Axial inclination of canines & incisors www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 9. Midline discrepancy & L/R symmetry: Mid line discrepancies with or without an asymmetric L/R occlusal relationship corrected as early as possible Asymmetrical forces on L/R could result in unilateral vertical forces, skewing of dental arch or asymmetrical anchorage loss. Vertical dimensions: Undesired vertical forces may result in ↑ Lower Facial Height, ↑ interlabial gap & excessive gingival display. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 10. Minor & major cuspid retraction: Depend upon severity of crowding in anterior segment, anchorage requirements & axial inclination of canine • Minor : refers to uncontrolled tipping of canine when 1-2 mm arch length is required per side (lace back) • Major :controlled tipping or translation of canine when more than 3 mm arch length is required per side. • If canine inclination is ideal then translation is preferred www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 11. RETRACTION ENMASSE FRICTIONLESS/ LOOP STAGED FRICTION/ SLIDING STAGE 1 CANINE TIP AND UPRIGHT STAGE 2 ANTERIORS SIMULTANEOUS INTRUSION & RETRACTION FRICTIONLESS/ LOOP FRICTION/ SLIDING FRICTIONLESS/ LOOP www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 12. Retraction mechanics divided into • Sliding (Frictional) mechanics involves either moving the brackets along the arch wire or sliding the arch wire through bracket & tube • Loop (Frictionless) mechanics involves movement of teeth without the brackets sliding along the arch wire but with the help of loops www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 13. Moderate Anchorage situation Treatment with 18- slot: either sliding or loop mechanics can be used. Single or narrow twin brackets on canine & PM is ideally suited for use of closing loops in continuous arch wire Treatment with 22- slot: As a general rule space closure done in two steps First retracting the canine usually with sliding mechanics 2nd retracting four incisors usually with closing loop Enmasse – using Opus or T loop but less than ideal www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 14. Maximum Anchorage situations Treatment with 18- slot: Friction from sliding is usually avoided, and employing closing loops preferred. Anchorage is augmented & anchorage strain is reduced by: Adding stabilizing lingual arch. Reinforce maxillary posterior anchorage with Extra-Oral force. Class III elastics from high pull head gear to supplement retraction force in lower arch Retraction of canine independently, preferably using a segmental closing loop & then retracting incisors with 2nd closing loop. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 15. Maximum Anchorage situations Treatment with 22- slot: Like 18 – slot Anchorage is augmented & anchorage strain is reduced Canine can be retracted with sliding by Reinforcing posterior anchorage with extra oral force Application of extra oral force directly against canine to slide them posteriorly. Use of segmented arch mechanics for retraction Segmented arch mechanics for tipping/ uprighting www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 16. Minimum Anchorage situations Requires anchor control, to reduce incisor retraction by: By incorporating as many teeth in anterior segment Locating the extraction site more posteriorly. Placing active lingual torque in incisor section of archwires To breakdown posterior anchorage(moving one tooth a time) Use of extra-oral force (face mask) Use of implants/ onplants to protract posteriors. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 17. Retraction methods: 1. Staged approach: Methods of canine retraction: Friction Frictionless: Paul Gjessing spring, Burstone T loop, Delta loop, L loop, Omega loop Extra oral: Head gear - Four hooked for both the arches Other methods: Retraction using Rare earth magnets Rapid canine retraction through Distraction of PDL www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 18. Staged approach: Methods of en-masse retraction of four incisors: Friction Frictionless : P.G spring, Burstone T loop, Delta loop, L loop, Retraction utility arch, Omega loop arch wire or Closing loop arch wire Extra oral : Head gears Intrusion & retraction of four incisors: Burstone three piece intrusion arch Rickets Retraction & intrusion utility arch www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 19. 2. Enmasse retraction of six anteriors: Friction Frictionless – Closing loops, Burstone T loop continuous arch wire, Opus loop (Siatkowaski) Simultaneous retraction & intrusion of six anteriors: K - Sir Arch www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 20. Sliding / Friction Mechanics: Tooth is retracted or slides through the arch wire, it involves either moving the brackets along the arch wire or sliding the arch wire through bracket & tube. It is used for both individual canine and enmasse Retraction Friction is present due to surface irregularities of arch wire and bracket www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 21. Various methods used: Elastic modules with ligature wire Elastomeric chains Stainless steel Closed coil springs NiTi Co-Cr-Ni J hook head gear Mulligan V bend sliding mechanics Employing tip-Edge brackets on canines. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 22. Advantages: Minimal wire bending time More efficient sliding of arch wire through posterior bracket slots No running out of space for activation Patient comfort Less time consumption for placement www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 23. Disadvantages of sliding mechanics: 1. Variable force. 2. Confusion regarding ideal force levels. 3. E-chain absorbs water and saliva when exposed to oral environment causing degradation of force by 50%-70% by the 1st day. 4. Excess Stretching of E-chain causes breakdown of internal bond leading to permanent deformation. 5. Tendency of overactive elastic causing initial tipping & inadequate rebound time for uprighting if forces are activated too frequently www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 24. Disadvantages 6. Staining of E-chain 7. Dependent on patient cooperation in case of elastic bands 8. Due to friction and binding between bracket and arch wire applied force should be higher than the required optimum force because of decay in force 9. Generally slower than loop mechanics due to friction Due to all these problems in friction or sliding mechanics, frictionless mechanics stands in better position for retraction, as monitoring of optimum force can be done effectively and it is active for a longer duration of time. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 25. Loop / Frictionless Mechanics: Loop (Frictionless) mechanics involves movement of teeth without the brackets sliding along the arch wire but with the help of loops Force generated intrinsically by arch wire By incorporating loops in arch wire Energy is stored in loops and release it in slow and continuous fashion There is no friction between archwire and bracket www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 26. Biomechanics of frictionless mechanics: The teeth in an arch wire will invariably assumes the passive position of the arch wire. When a bend is placed in the middle of the archwire and engaged into brackets two equal and opposite moments are produced When offset bend is placed differential moments are produced. (as anchor bend in Begg technique.) www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 27. Biomechanics Greater clockwise moment (extrusion) in posterior segment (near to the v- bend) & smaller anti-clockwise moment (intrusion force) in anterior segment (away from the v- bend) is produced. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 28. This same principles apply in Frictionless mechanics where instead of a bend a loop is placed in the wire. Bends are placed on the mesial & distal legs of loop, called Alpha (α) & Beta (β) bends respectively. These bends produce Alpha and Beta moments when wire is placed into bracket www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 29. If β moment > α moment Biomechanics anchorage enhanced by mesial root movement of posterior segment posterior extrusion & anterior Intrusion If α moment > β moment anchorage of anterior segment is increased by distal root movement anterior Extrusion & posterior Intrusion If both equal no vertical force www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 31. Biomechanics Moment is determined by the loop design Activation of loops produces the force in frictionless mechanics. Activated by pulling the distal end of wire through molar tube and cinching back or by soldering a tie back mesial to molar tube on archwire www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 32. Biomechanics Moment to force ratio (M/F) determines the type of tooth movement. Moment to force ratio for various tooth movements: M/F Ratio Tooth movement 5:1 - Uncontrolled tipping 8:1 - Controlled tipping 10 : 1 - Translation >10 : 1 - Root movement www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 33. Biomechanics According to Charles Burstone - moment to force ratio for translation is about 10:1. A regular 10mm high vertical loop offers a M:F ratio of only 3:1 when it is activated by 1mm. To get M:F ratio of 10:1, activation should be reduced to 0.2mm, but the force level is not sufficient for retraction www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 34. Biomechanics M/F could be increased by (Burstone & Koenig) By ↑ vertical dimension of loop (but it has limitation as available space in the vestibule) ↑ horizontal dimension in apical part of loop ↑ Apical length of the wire Helix incorporation Angulations of loop legs ↓ inter bracket distance Positioning loop close to tooth to be retracted bodily www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 35. Biomechanics The most effective way to increase M:F ratio is placing Pre Activation Bends Or Gable Bends. These bends can be placed within the loops or where loop meets the arch wire. As we try to engage the wire into bracket we pull the horizontal arm of the loop down producing a moment called the activation moment and the loop is said to be in NEUTRAL POSITION www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 36. Biomechanics The M:F ratio increases as spring gets deactivated as the space closes. Sequence of tooth movement with changes in M/F ratio: Controlled tipping (8:1) Translation (10:1) Root movement (12:1) So spring should not be activated too frequently www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 37. SPACE CLOSING LOOPS Design considerations: Closing loop arch wires should be fabricated from rectangular wire to prevent wire from rolling in the bracket slot The performance of the loop, from the perspective of engineering theory, is determined by 3 major characteristics 1. Spring properties 2. Moment it generates 3. Its location [William. R. Proffit] www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 38. 1. SPRING PROPERTIES The amount of force it delivers and the way the force changes as the teeth move. It is determined almost totally by the Wire material - Stainless steel - Beta-Titanium Size of the wire Distance between points of attachment distance between bracket amount of wire incorporated www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 39. Changing the size of the wire produce largest change in its characteristics, but the amount of wire incorporated in the loop is also important [William. R. Proffit] www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 40. 2.Moment it generates To close an extraction space while producing bodily tooth movement closing loop must generate not only closing force but also appropriate Moments to bring the root apices together This requirement to generate a movement limits the amount of wire that can be incorporated to make a closing loop springier, because if the loop becomes too flexible, it will be unable to generate the necessary moments www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 41. Loop design is also affected. Placing some of the wire within the closing Loop in a horizontal rather than vertical direction improves its ability to deliver the moments needed to prevent tipping. To generate appropriate moments additional moments must be generated by Gable bends www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 42. 3.Its location: Its location is very important for its performance in closing space. As gable bends are incorporated, the closing loops functions as the V bend in the arch wire. Effect of V bend is very sensitive to its location There can be 3 locations of V bend 1.Equal distance 2.Closure to anterior 3.Closure to Posterior www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 43. If it is in the center of the span a V-bend produce: Equal forces and Equal couples on the adjacent teeth www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 44. If it is one-third of the way between adjacent brackets, the tooth closer to the loop - extruded & moment - root toward the V-bend, tooth farther away - intrusive force but no moment www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 45. 4.Additional design principle Fail safe: this means that, although a reasonable range of action is desired from each activation, tooth movement should stop after that, even if patient does not come for scheduled appointment. Design should be as simple as possible During activation of loop it is considered more effective when it is closed rather than opened www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 47. INDIVIDUAL CANINE RETRACTION: It is important to do individual canine retraction in maximum anchorage cases. Correct positioning of the canine after retraction is imperative for function, stability and esthetics This requires the creation of a bio mechanical system to deliver a predetermined force and a relatively constant moment-to-force ratios in order to avoid distal tipping and rotation. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 48. For translation of canine : The displacement of canine depends on the relationship between the line of force and the center of resistance (CR) Application of force through CR. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 51. Anti-tip and anti-rotation moment-to-force conditions necessary for translation of canines with average dimensions. Anti-Tip:- 11:1 Anti-Rotation:- 4:1 www.indiandentalacademy.com

  • 56. T-LOOP SPRING: Wire selection for loop: 18- slot: 16 x 22 SS or 17 x 25 TMA 22- slot: 18 x 25 SS or 19 x 25 TMA Base arch wire: 21 x 25 in SS www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 57. Neutral Position: Activated position: The pre-activated spring with the anti tip (M/F- 11:1) and anti rotation (M/F- 4:1) is placed Activated by pulling it and giving a distal cinch back. Activation on insertion is 6- 7mm www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 59. Activation on insertion is 6-7mm The M/F ratio is 8:1 – controlled tipping Now as the tooth moves the activation reduced to 4mm the force is reduced. M/F ratio is further increased to 10:1 - bodily movement The activation is reduced to 2mm – force is further reduced M/F ratio increased to 12:1 – root uprighting So spring should not be activated too frequently Spring usually activated every 4-6 weeks www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 60. Composite T loop attraction spring: Composite TMA 0.018 - 0.017 x 0.025 in retraction spring. A 0.018 in round T spring is welded directly to a 0.017 x 0.025 in base archwire. Used in the segmented arch technique for both canine and enmasse retraction. www.indiandentalacademy.com

  • 65. Spring design: Ovoid Double Helix Loop - reduce the load deflection of the spring Placed gingivally - activation will cause a tipping of the short horizontal arm (attached to the canine) In a direction that will increase the couple acting on the tooth. Smaller loop - occlusally - lower levels of activation on insertion in the brackets in the short arm (couple) Formed so that activation further closes the loops. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 66. sweep in the distal leg - eliminates undesirable ß moments acting at second premolar bracket (which tend to move the root apex too far mesially) Activation: By pulling the distal, horizontal leg through the molar tube. Force level of approximately 160 gm is obtained when the two sections of the double helix are separated 1 mm. Activation is repeated every 4 weeks, and the canine is expected to undergo approximately 1.5 mm of controlled movement with each activation. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 67. CUSPID RETRACTOR: (R.HASKELL/AJO/1990) Specially designed 0.017 x 0.022 inch heat-treated Elgiloy springs (Rocky Mountain Orthodontics, Denver, Colo.) www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 68. inserted into buccal and gingival tubes, which are part of the molar and canine brackets special canine brackets www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 69. Spring design: similar to traditional retraction springs except for the extra helix in the anterior (a) portion. helix, in conjunction with the gables placed in the posterior (b) legs of the spring, provides the required couple "counter-moment" for the moment of the force allows for the translation of the canine or molar during space closure. www.indiandentalacademy.com

  • 71. NITI CANINE RETRACTION SPRING: (Yasoo Watanabe, JCO/2002) Made from .016" ×.022" Titanal wire, with anti-tip and antirotation bends incorporated in closing loop. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 72. Clinical implications: Major advantage of this spring is the ability to use it without a preliminary leveling stage, Because it can simultaneously retract the canines and level the posterior teeth. Its light, continuous force allows an activation of as much as 10mm to complete canine retraction without reactivation of the closing loop. Spring provides continuous forces and moments over a broad range of activation. And the closing force can be maintained within normal biological and physiological limits. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 74. EN-MASSE RETRACTION: Retracting group of teeth together as a single unit. Can effectively be employed in moderate and minimum anchorage cases Simultaneous intrusion and retraction of the anterior teeth, maintaining torque control may also be employed En-masse retraction is done with a continuous arch wire with one closing loop each side distal to cuspid. Differential force technique and location of loop can be placed depending on the type of anchorage. www.indiandentalacademy.com

Activated every 4-6 weeks www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 94. OPUS LOOP: - RAYMOND.E.SIATOWSKI (AJO/1997 ) Used for en-masse retraction of all six anterior Teeth Wire sizes: 0.016 X 0.022 S.S, or 0.018 X 0.025 S.S. wire. 0.017 X 0.025 inch TMA www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 95. Development of opus loop: M/F required for translation Individual teeth: 7.1-10.2 mm Groups of teeth: 8.0-9.1 mm Most closing loops have inherent M/F 4-5 mm or less To achieve net translation, need to add residual moments Gable bends anterior & posterior Posterior gable bend & anterior wire-bracket twist www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 96. Development of opus loop: Disadvantage of gable bend: Cycle of Tipping- translation- uprighting (lower Young's Modulus materials go through fewer of these cycles for a given distance of space closure). Correct magnitude of residual moments are difficult to achieve Changing areas of stress distribution in the pdl may not yield most rapid, least traumatic method of space closure www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 97. Development of opus loop: Study: design and verify loop design capable of delivering M/F inherently without adding residual moments. Castigliano’s Theorem: to derive M/F ratio in terms of loop geometry. Using Castigliano's theorem, and refined, using FEM simulations, and verified experimentally a new design, the Opus Loop was developed. capable of delivering a target M/F within the range of 8.09.1 mm inherently, without adding residual moments. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 98. Advantages: more precise force systems with non varying M/F can be delivered Groups of teeth therefore can be moved more accurately en masse space closure with uniform PDL stress distributions more rapid tooth movement with less chance of traumatic side effects neutral position is the same as the inactivated position - allows known forces systems to be applied to the teeth Disadvantages: loops must be bent accurately to achieve their design potential. All the dimensions are critical to the performance of the loop www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 99. TRANSLATION ARCH: - ROBERTO MARTINA (JCO/1997 ) kind of utility arch - simultaneously retract, torque, and intrude or control the extrusion of the maxillary incisors. made of .016" × .022" TMA for .018" bracket slots anterior segment inserted into incisor brackets, and two buccal segments into gingival first molar tubes Two loops - connect the anterior and posterior segments - extended as far vertically as possible www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 100. A distal activation of 2mm on each end of the arch will produce the 100g of horizontal force needed for incisor retraction To achieve a moment-to-force ratio of 10, placing a 3rd-order activation (root-palatal torque) in the anterior segment of the arch. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 101. 3rd-order activation should produce an intrusive force of about 20g on each molar. Extrusive force exerted on the anterior teeth. To compensate this side effect - tipback / arc (preferably) bent into each buccal segment to produce an intrusive force www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 102. K-SIR ARCH: - VARUN KALARA(JCO/1998) K-SIR: Kalra Simultaneous Intrusion and Retraction archwire continuous .019" X .025" TMA archwire with closed 7mm X 2mm U-loops at the extraction sites www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 103. To obtain bodily movement and prevent tipping of the teeth into the extraction spaces, a 90° V-bend is placed in the archwire at the level of each U-loop Centered 90° V-bend creates two equal and opposite moments that counter tipping moments produced by activation forces. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 104. Off-center 60° V-bend placed about 2mm distal to U-loop. Off-center V-bend creates greater moment on molar, increasing molar anchorage and intrusion of anterior teeth. 20° anti-rotation bends placed in the archwire just distal to U-loop www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 105. A trial activation of the archwire is performed outside the mouth trial activation releases the stress built up from bending the wire and thus reduces the severity of the V-bends Neutral position of loop determined with mesial and distal legs extended horizontally. In neutral position, loop is 3.5mm rather than 2mm wide. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 106. The archwire is inserted into the auxiliary tubes of the first molars and engaged in the six anterior brackets Second premolar bypassed - ↑ IBD First molar and second premolar are connected by segment of .019" X .025" TMA wire It is activated about 3mm, so that the mesial and distal legs of the loops are barely apart www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 107. archwire exerts 125 gm intrusive force on anteriors & similar amount of extrusive force distributed between two buccal segments archwire should not be reactivated at short intervals, but only every six to eight weeks until all space has been closed. Advantages: Simplicity of design- ease of fabrication Comfortable to the patient TMA- low forces, low LDR, long range of action En masse retraction- Shortens treatment time- prevents appearance of unsightly space distal to incisors. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 108. CONCLUSION A good understanding of mechanics is required when using retraction loops or springs, because minor errors in mechanics can result in major errors in tooth movement www.indiandentalacademy.com
