Compression, or Open Coil, springs are used to create space between teeth. Compressed during placement, the spring then exerts continuous force against the teeth as they return to original length.
NiTi compression springs are available in both Variable and Superelastic forces.
As further explained in Spring Basics, the tooth-moving force of variable force springs gradually decreases over the activation range. The tooth-moving force of superelastic force springs remains near constant over the activation range. To accommodate your doctors’ preferences, we offer a wide variety of variable and superelastic springs with force levels from light to heavy.
Compression Springs 7 inch lengths (3 per tube) and 15 inch spools. | |||||
