A complete movement of the tooth is caused by an uprighting or rotary moment. The superelastic spring exerts a constant biological force on the canine tooth in the upper jaw or lower jaw.
The compound palatal bar is another innovation from FORESTADENT wich has been clinically and biomechanically tested. The compound palatal bar is made from steel and NiTi components and has been analysed in a laboratory test regarding forces and momentum.
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.
