EASY-WAY-COIL® System
by Dr. med. dent. Michael Schubert, Regensburg


The system of the tension spring consists of a stainless steel tension spring which is pivot-mounted to a lingual button with a bonding base. An activation of 1 mm triggers an average force of 0.158 N. A piece of tension spring is added, which you can pull over the bracing arch wire to maintain the gap for the tooth you want to pull into the right position.

•  Long acting activation
•  Variable direction of traction
•  Simple reactivation
•  Precisely quantified amount of force
•  High degree of comfort for patients
•  Clinically reliable
•  Economical
•  Easy to use

The EASY-WAY-COIL system is clinically reliable and demonstrates a constant application of force throughout the treatment procedure, including stable maximum anchorage.

Over the past 10 years no patient has suffered inflammatory reactions in the oral mucosa adjacent to the traction spring during treatment with the EASY-WAY-COIL system.

The system of the tension spring consists of a stainless steel tension spring which is pivot-mounted to a lingual button with a bonding base. An activation of 1 mm triggers an average force of 0.158 N. A piece of tension spring is added, which you can pull over the bracing arch wire to maintain the gap for the tooth you want to pull into the right position.

Before using the tension spring, it’s important to ensure that there is enough space for the tooth you want to position. In the .018’’ method for the bracket slot, a stainless steel arch wire of .016 x .022’’ suffices for anchorage, corresponding to a .020 x .020’’ arch wire of the same quality in the .022’’ method.

In the area of the prepared gap, an exact-fitting piece of the spring is pulled over the arch wire as a placeholder.

The first activation takes place seven days after the operation in four steps. As an example, we use a cuspid in a frasaco model, which is palatinally dislocated.

After creating a mucoperiosteum lobe, the crown of the retained or dislocated tooth has to be uncovered up to the supposed enamel-cement boarderline.

After etching, the attachment with the spring gets fixed to the tooth by lightcuring composite material (with palatinal dislocation - at the palatinal surface, with buccal dislocation - at the buccal surface). If the tooth is located palatinally, it’s important to bond the spring system palatinally, to get a long enough activation way of the spring.

If there is too much bonding, the surplus has to be removed, to ensure that the spring can turn around the button.

• Increase patient understanding
  
• Increase patient co-operation
  
• Decrease patient fear

This is a brand new and surprisingly simple solution to the age old problem of communicating effectively with patients.

The Reflex Communicator an inconspicuous mirror attached securely to the operating light, allows the patient to view his or her mouth directly, and observe what is happening.  An excellent tool for easing fear and tension, and freeing the orthodontist to concentrate on intricate procedures.

The light and mirror are positioned onto the mouth and encourages patents to stay still as this is the only position to watch.  No necessity to reposition the lamp.

The Reflex Communicator is a particularly useful accessory during intra-oral procedures involving orthodontics, oral hygiene instruction and also during consultation when description and advice is needed.

To those not interested in seeing what is happening in their mouth the orthodontist can easily deflect the mirror by simply pressing the colored buttons.

The Reflex Communicator can be attached in the centre of most lamps at the solid center.
