Fast and easy therapy of cuspid dislocation

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.

Step 1

Depending on the force direction needed for the positioning of the dislocated / retained tooth, you choose the anchorage point at the spring which will maintain the gap. A ligature cutter is placed carefully and closed slightly, in order to create a fissure, where the ligature wire can be incorporated and will not slip away.

Step 2

The end of the tension spring is adjusted to the anchorage point at the arch wire and is shortened until the distance to the anchorage point is about 2 mm. This distance to the arch wire offers a force of about 0.3 N.

Step 3

At a distance of about 1 mm from the end of the spring, you place the ligature cutter, close it slightly and turn it carefully to an angle of about 45°, to create a loop. A ligature wire is inserted into this loop.

Step 4

The ligature wire gets fixed at the anchorage point. Every 4 weeks, a further activation shall be performed following the steps as per description, until the tooth has broken through.

Step 5

If another pull direction is necessary during the treatment, a new anchorage point can be placed in the described way.
