Abstract

Impacted canines are prevalent and most of the time palatally positioned. Traction of impacted canine is performed by various methods. The aim of this study is to present a new method for impacted canines’ traction which is safe, hygienic and also applying light continuous force. This novel cantilever spring which is made of 0.014-inch stainless steel wire, is beneficial to be used in cases of canine impaction because of its safety and low force/deflection ratio.
