Der Retraktions- und Torquebogen dient der
The compound retraction arch wire is used for retracting the anterior teeth and for the finetuning of the torque in the central area. A pretorqued superelastic rectangular wire for the anterior segment is crimp-connected via crimping components to a rectangular steel wire in the lateral/buccal area. Two additional retraction arms are positioned in the rectangularcrimping components area. These retraction arms are shaped, according to clinical requirements, to form tiny individual hooks to wich superelastic springs are attached subjecting the dental arch to constant retraction forces wich are causing a retraction of
approx 1,5 mm per month, are exerting.
