Hey Steve what clasp did you use for the 6 year molers would an Adams clasp work or what works the best for you?

JLee if the molars are fully erupted along with bicuspids I always use ball clasps. If bent correctly they work perfect. If bent wrong they cause issues. I make Adam's clasp when no bicuspids are present , deciduous molars or not fully erupted 6's.
