Inventor Orthodontist Dr. Winfried Schütz
"  Space closure can be a difficult and uncomfortable procedure.  This screw mechanism is actually easier to control than conventional methods of space closure. With elastic forces, the orthodontist is constantly trying to manage the amount of force, the length of force application, the degree of archwire deflection, and the amount of friction. With the Hycon Device, the amount of tooth movement is determined strictly by the advancement rate of the bolt and the number of activation turns. Friction is of little concern because of the relatively high forces generated. Deflection is not a problem because the activation is over such a short distance. A full-size wire can be used, reducing deflection and improving torque control. This technique minimizes tissue turnover, producing nearly ideal bodily movement. The force created by turning the screw is enough to overcome friction, but less than the amount that would adversely affect the periodontium."

Dr. John C. Bennett & Dr Richard P. McLaughlin - Fundamentals of Orthodontic Treatment Mechanics

It is accepted that space closure can often be more difficult in adult patients, due to various factors.  For example, the bone is mature and may be narrowed in the extractions sites and heavy occlusion can hold teeth in position, prevent them from moving.  Some times in these cases most of the extraction site can be closed by conventional active tiebacks, but a small space remains, which is resistant to final space closure.  There are several options to deal with this, but the Hcyon™ Device is an effective and well tried method.*
