Eliminating the undesired

“ Many times the failures I experienced during the treatment of impacted and ectopic teeth, was a failure or limitation of the appliance I used.  I needed an appliance that was predictable and reliable - I wanted full control of treatment.  I invented a new spring system, and after many years of clinical studies with my new appliance, I have eliminated those undesirable side effects and limitations I used to experience with the old systems. ”​

Successful treatment of multiple bilateral impactions - case report
​
​Abstract Background:
Successful treatment of patients with multiple bilateral impactions can be an orthodontic challenge, but few reports on treatment planning and execution exist.

Many different traction appliance options are available for the task of aligning the ectopic or impacted tooth, but these options have design flaws that could only be solved with a complete re-design.

Elastic Design

 The quality of this elastic material,
elastic chains and elastic
rubber thread, makes frequent
​ replacement necessary for
​ the purpose of re-activation

Chain Design

Mucosa or scar tissue can grow inbetween the links of the spring that can create 
inflammatory issues.  This intertwining growth can stop movement and require 
surgical removal of the chain.

Lever Design

Lever designs are highly elastic and
supply effective force for a relatively long period of time, but they are easily 
damaged, rather uncomfortable for patients, and make oral hygiene more difficult.

SUCCESS IS IN THE DESIGN

The EASY-WAY-COIL SYSTEM consists of a stainless steel tension spring which is pivot-mounted to a lingual button with a bonding base. The appliance is activated by systematically shortening the spring.  This simple Stainless Steel spring is no ordinary spring, it has been specifically designed to repel mucosa, its sturdy and stable and it prevents any undesired rotation of the spring.   During treatment it demonstrates a constant application of force throughout the treatment procedure, including stable maximum anchorage. 
A proven technique for effective alignment of impacted incisors, canines and premolars....​without the headaches!
"Choosing the right force minimizes root damages and reduces treatment time!"

Successful treatment of multiple bilateral impactions - case report
​
​Abstract Background:
Successful treatment of patients with multiple bilateral impactions can be an orthodontic challenge, but few reports on treatment planning and execution exist.
​
Case presentation: In this case report, we describe the successful orthodontic treatment of a 16.3-year old female patient without systemic or genetic disease with initially nine persisting deciduous and nine impacted permanent teeth with complete root formation and closed apices in both jaws. After extraction of the deciduous and surgical exposure of the impacted permanent teeth, the Easy-Way-Coil™ system was used in conjunction with a skeletal anchorage (maxilla, BENEfit™ system) to guide the eruption of all impacted teeth. After a total treatment time of only 22.8 months all impacted teeth could be aligned successfully and a stable and functional class I occlusion was achieved. In addition, there were no adverse treatment effects such as anchorage loss, root resorptions or periodontal problems and an esthetic result could be achieved.

Conclusions: The presented treatment approach thus proved to be highly effective in cases with multiple bilateral impactions with minimal side effects and considerably reduced treatment time. Keywords: Case report, Diagnosis and treatment planning, Impaction, Guided eruption
