If the acrylic is contacting the tooth on the palatal aspect then the tooth shouldn’t move as it has no space to move into. Always try to keep wirework passive for when it leaves the lab.

One option is to adjust yourself: widen the channel and corresponding post by trimming the channel and adding wax to the post. If this is not a viable option (space might be an issue?), then you can use refractory rods - these come with some precision attachments (slides), to protect the internal aspects of the matrix when investing. Please let us know what you did and if it was successful.

Thanks for commenting. The Southend clasp is used to keep the anterior part of yhe appliance in place. It is a fixative, or retentive component and is better suited for use on anterior teeth. Adams clasps can damage the lips and don't engage undercuts adequately.

@@dentaltechnology-cardiffme4022 any reason why using this than passive labial bow

@@pingmichael878 you can use this for the teeth it contacts, but it is a fixative component rather than a retainer, which the labial bow is.

Thanks for watching and taking time to comment. Would you like to expand on which element (or elements) of the technique you are referring to as "abysmal"? Interested to find out what it is you find so odd. Thanks.

@@dentaltechnology-cardiffme4022 First off, my apologies for being so blunt. I didn't mean it that way. I just noticed your 'bending' finger is always a few mills from the jaws of the pliers. This will introduce a bend where one is not needed. I used to get my arse kicked for that. Anyway, I have ordered some Adams (65's) and a reel of 0.7mm SS and will try to video how I used to do this. I have no casts, so will have to go freestyle. Watch this space...

Congratulations Mihaela. This is a classic appliance that deserves it's place in the orthodontic Hall of Fame!

Hope it helped. As will the others demonstrations!

Try and visualise the wire when you bend it, as if the wire work is still on the model. Otherwise just keep checking back to the model. You may find you spend more time checking than bending to start with, but that will soon change!

Yes it is, but its a variation whereby the guard wire and tagging are all constructed from one piece of wire.

There is a mute bottom or next button, pick one and stfu

Thank you!

Thanks for your answer, and I don't wish to be too critical as I appreciate what you're trying to do, but I think it only fair to give those watching this a proper understanding. Looking at your spring, the mesial coil lines up with the mesial of the lateral, but the distal coil extends past the distal line of the lateral. You are partly right in what you state, the distal coil does not move, only rotate.However, by the very nature of the rotational movement of the distal coil the second (mesial) coil must move forward (labially) and if it was to extend past the point of the mesial edge it could contact the abutment tooth. As this is an educational video from a respected seat of learning I feel that basic foundations should be put across, otherwise someone watching this may believe there's no limit to the width. Sorry for the long reply.

No problem Pelibob Bob - thank you for your observations. Hopefully those watching can take on board the valuable comments made. Thanks again!

Pelibob Bob see reply above. Thanks!

0.5mm for this spring

+Szara Dental Lab Thanks, and great channel too!

+Chris Dodd There is an increase in flexibility with having the helices further apart; allows for a greater range of motion as well. The activation can be easier with more space around them as well (acrylic spacing comes into play here too)
