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. ”​

Early Management of
Impacted Maxillary Incisors
with Skeletal Anchorage
​
Maxillary central incisor impaction is relatively uncommon, at a rate of only .06-.2%,1 but can be problematic for the clinician when encountered. 2-4 Treatment options include orthodontic eruption of the impacted tooth,5-7 extraction of the impacted tooth and restoration of the retained space after growth has ceased,8 and surgical repositioning of the impacted incisor.9 In addition, various authors have reported successful extraction of the impacted central incisor and replacement with an autotransplanted premolar 10,11 or with the adjacent lateral incisor after prosthetic restoration.2

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!"
