Nickel Titanium Springs

Nickel Titanium's superelastic qualities make it the perfect material for orthodontic springs. With proper usage, NiTi springs are highly resistant to permanent set and provide comfortable, predictable forces during treatment. In comparison, stainless steel springs exert high initial forces, lose force quickly after placement, and will commonly take a permanent set.

Ultimate is pleased to offer our Nickel Titanium compression and extension springs in Variable and Superelastic forces to meet the needs of specific treatment plans. A more in-depth explanation of Variable and Superelastic forces may be found in Spring Basics.

• Compression

  

  Compression, or Open Coil, springs are used to create spaces between teeth or, more simply, to move points away from one another. The coils are compressed when loaded and provide forces 'outward'.

• Extension

  

  Extension, or Closed Coil, springs are used to close spaces between teeth or, more simply, to move points closer to one another. The coils are extended when loaded and provide retraction forces to close spaces.

• Distalizing

  

  Distalizing, or Open-Closed Coil, springs are specialized springs used to distalize molars. The springs are compressed when loaded and exert forces against the molars to tip, or move, them in the proper direction.

• Neet Separating

  Neet separating springs do just that! They are placed between teeth and quickly create space for banding.

• Class II

  Class II springs are an efficient alternative for Class II elastics, particularly for non-compliant patients. These springs consist of a variable force spring with pre-attached eyelets and ligature wire.
