Mushroom loop
o

Apical addition of wire in archial configuration

o

More patient friendly- reduces the horizontal part
of wire near vestibule

o

Beta-titanium CNA M loop- 0.017 x 0.025

o

Activation upto 5 mm

o

Reactivation- every 6-8 wks

o

Bypass premolars, IBD


o

Single cuspid retraction, en masse anterior
retraction

o

NiTi intrusion arch, tied piggyback to SS archwire


o

Preformed M loop space closing archwires

o

Preactivation- separating the legs by 3mm.
Gable bends- mesial to increase anterior moment
distal to increase anchorage moment

o

Torque in distal leg eliminated- wire passive in third
order in buccal segment

o

Loop reactivated until there is atleast 3 mm of space
closure

o

After space closure, wire left in mouth for 1-2 visitsroot uprightingwww.indiandentalacademy.com

Double keyhole loop
o

Roth treatment mechanics

o

Introduced by John Parker- 0.019 x 0.026

o

Concept



Complete space closure with one set of archwires



Allows operator to select how space will be closed



Activation- cinching wire distal to last molar tube


PG Retraction Spring
o

Poul Gjessing- 1985

o

Controlled tipping- uprightingover long periods of activation

o

Net result- bodily movement

o

Preformed-0.016 x 0.022 SS

o

Double ovoid apical helix- 10mm

o

Smaller occlusally placed helixactivation further closes the loops

o Segment of circle in distal leg- eliminate undesirable
moments acting on 2nd premolar

o

For canine retraction- 160gms

o

Double helix separated by 1mm

o

Resist tipping & rotational tendencies
-not correct rotation or extreme inclination

o

Leveling of buccal segment –must

o

Activation- every 4 wks

o

Each activation- 1.5mm of controlled movement


o

Controlled incisor retraction

o

Auxiliary molar tube- lateral incisor bracket

o

Twist anterior leg 90˚ - 3mm in front of vertical
helix- fit in vertical tube of lateral bracket

o

Intrusive force- 12-25gms each side

o

Estimated treatment time- 5-6 months on an avg


o

Used for retraction of both canine and incisors

o

Incisor segment intrusion- 20-25gms/side

o

Mesial and distal extensions angulated to build in
residual moments

o

Vertical forces in the posterior segment
counteracted by forces of occlusion


Opus loop
o

Described by Raymond E. Siatkowski

o

M/F for translation


Individual teeth: 7.1-10.2 mm



Groups of teeth: 8.0-9.1 mm

o

Most closing loops M/F 4-5 mm

o

To achieve net translation, add residual moment


Gable bends anterior & posterior



Posterior gable band & anterior wire-bracket
twist

Opus loop
Disadvantage of gable bend
o

Tipping- translation- uprighting

o

Correct magnitude of residual moments are
difficult to achieve

o

Changing areas of stress distribution in the pdl
may not yield most rapid, least traumatic method
of space closure


Opus loop
o

Study: design and verify loop design capable of
delivering M/F inherently without adding residual
moments.

o

Castigliano’s Theorem: to derive of M/F ratio in
terms of loop geometry.


Standard Opus 70 loop

M/F ratio on both the ends is equal

K-SIR LOOP
o

K-SIR – Kalra Simultaneous Intrusion and Retraction

o

Continuous 0.019 x 0.025 TMA archwire

o

Closed loop- 7mm x 2mm


K-SIR LOOP


K-SIR LOOP
o

Trial activation- releases stress built up

o

Reduces the severity of V bend

Neutral position

K-SIR LOOP
o

Second premolar bypassed- IBD

o

Controlled tipping- bodily-root movement

o

Reactivation 6-8 wks


K-SIR LOOP
Advantages
o

Simplicity of design- ease of fabrication

o

Comfortable to the patient

o

TMA- low forces, low LDR, long range of action

o

En masse retraction- Shortens treatment timeprevents appearance of unsightly space distal to
incisors.


A comparative analysis of commonly used retraction
loops in Edgewise mechanics- A FEM Study. Dr.
Chetan V. Jayade


Evaluate mechanical behavior of routinely used
retraction loops in edgewise mechanotherapy



9 different loop designs evaluated for assessing
M/F ratio and F/D rates when subjected to
horizontal activation forces

o

Findings of the study

o

Opus loop showed highest M/F ratio

o

‘T’ loop showed lowest LDR

o

Loop height= M/F = F/D rate


Loops Software
o

Program developed by Borland Delphi

o

Simulate any ortho loop connecting 2 brackets

o

AJO 1997- Demetrios Halazonetis


Obstacles to space closure
o

Inadequate leveling

o

Damaged brackets

o

Incorrect force levels

o

Interference from opposing teeth

o

Soft tissue resistance


Root Torquing
o

Stage III- correction of labio-lingual & mesiodistal root position

o

Torquing assessed by



Visual inspection of appearance of teeth



Palpation of roots



From radiographs


Tan auxiliary

Boot auxiliary- buccal root torque of molars


Uprighting springs
o

Size of coil

o

Mini spring- inner diameter of coil- twice the size of
wire diameter- coils tiny- difficult to grip

o

Midi spring- incisors 0.010”,canines-0.012”

o

Maxi spring- 4 times wire diameter


Torquing of rootso

Torquing of roots- twist in the rectangular wire

o

“The equal and opposite reciprocal reactions
(which generally cause undesirable opposite
movements of adjacent teeth) are commonly
disregarded”.

o

Biomechanics of torque- An FEM investigationDr. V. P. Jayade

Torquing of roots1,2,3 progressively
torqued more and
more?


Torquing of roots-


Torquing of rootso

Twists in the rectangular archwire seem to be
appropriate only when reciprocal torque is
required on the adjacent teeth, but beware of high
moments. (‘Use undersize wires’- Thurow)

o

“twists” in the rectangular wire for attaining
torque should be employed judiciously, and not
indiscriminately.

o

Cantilever spring- En masse root correction


o

Rectangular loop- separate canine root correction


Conclusion
o

Space closure- fricton/frictionless

o

Anchorage classification

o

Root torquing


Zeal without knowledge is a
runaway horse
