Loops in orthodontics
Keywords:
orthodontics, loop, teeth, rectangular, leveled up teethAbstract
Present article reviews about application of loops in orthodontics. Loops are used mainly during alignment phase but may be used later for closing spaces. The alignment phase in any technique has a very important place both from the patient point of view, who gets fascinated by the alignment of crowded teeth and also from the operator point of view who gets a chance to use rectangular and square wires in leveled up teeth. Basically the purpose of an orthodontic appliance is the production of controlled forces to move teeth. A controlled force is one that is properly directed and which has the correct amount of force to stimulate the histotogical process that must accompany tooth movements.
