NiTi Closed Coil Spring with Eyelets for Orthodontics - Made in USA
The NiTi closed coil spring is a passive compressed orthodontic spring made from super-elastic nickel-titanium. To facilitate ease of use, two round eyelets are attached at both ends of the spring. It is a vital component in every orthodontic office. Unlike stainless steel (SS) closed coils, NiTi closed coils better resist deformation under activation. IOS manufactures these coils in various lengths to meet the diverse needs of orthodontists. All IOS NiTi springs are made from super-elastic nickel-titanium.
Understanding the Size of an Orthodontic NiTi Closed Coil Spring
For example, a 12 mm closed coil spring includes the total length of the coil and the eyelets, not just the active coil portion. To calculate the actual active coil length, subtract the size of both eyelets (3 mm each). So, a 12 mm coil has 12 - 3 - 3 = 6 mm of active spring.
Clinical Applications of NiTi Closed Coil Springs:
Canine or tooth retraction in extraction cases
En-masse retraction to correct an open bite
Impacted canine retraction
Vertical traction of impacted premolars
Intrusion of super-erupted teeth with mini-implants
Intrusion to correct a deep bite using mini-implants
And more.
How to Measure Force Delivered by a Closed Coil Spring
Force is typically measured per 1 mm of activation. In a dental office, a simple force gauge may be used to estimate the amount of force delivered. IOS uses a digital force-measuring device, which is more accurate.
Factors Affecting the Force Delivered by a Closed Coil Spring
Wire Diameter: The thicker the wire, the stronger the force. NiTi closed coil springs come in three wire sizes:
0.009” for light force
0.010” for medium force
0.011” for heavy force
Active Coil Length: Shorter coils deliver more force compared to longer coils.
Amount of Activation: The more the spring is stretched, the stronger the force delivered.
IOS manufactures and offers NiTi closed coil springs in different forces and lengths to accommodate a variety of orthodontic clinical needs.
