Coil Springs




Are wired in to move one jaw toward the other like rubberbands do, most times they are for kids who won't wear their rubberbands

Every time I go to ortho I always get these springs wired in and I have 8 in my mouth right now. Usually I only have six but usually every treatment if different is some way. To be honest these springs are really annoying...and hurt my mouth alot.

i only have 2 but 1 keeps coming out. the little hook on the end doesn't stay on the wire on my braces. help
Ela (ela90@mail.ev1.net) - 17/Oct/2002 11:12:11 PM

Well,you should've just worn the elastics... then you wouldn't have to wear the annoyong springs!!!!
Ela (ela90@mail.ev1.net) - 15/Nov/2002 1:16:52 AM

Ela ('' '') - 15/Nov/2002 1:19:44 AM

Ela (ela90@mail.ev1.net) - 17/Nov/2002 6:09:32 PM

the braces on the picture above-are those fixed braces??
() - 26/Nov/2002 2:22:13 AM

yeah they are fixed braces because fixed means stuck on your teeth
Niche () - 10/Dec/2002 9:05:40 PM

Which teeth do your 12 coil springs connect?

ELa (..nah) - 20/Dec/2002 5:16:01 PM

If you have an overbite,cross bite,or underbite..I think
Trevor Williams (popener@hotmail.com) - 14/Jan/2003 7:20:40 AM

These would be nice to have. I wonder how many they could fit in your mouth
Rainier () - 03/Mar/2003 10:51:03 AM

I think the coil springs would be cool if you could romove them but if not I rather have elastic so I can pop elastic any time I want in and out to eat my favorite food...

Chelsea () - 31/Mar/2003 5:44:40 PM

E-Diddy () - 19/May/2003 1:56:11 AM

My orthodontist refered to these things he put on my teeth, but they don't the things in the picture above. the coil is between two adjacent teeth on my upper jaw. What are they?
ellen ( ) - 26/May/2003 2:44:31 AM

ya i have those things too. they arent the same. The ones you and i have spread out two or more teeth. they put it through the archwire and its held between two brackets? yea, its called a spring too. lol
E-Diddy () - 27/May/2003 10:13:38 PM

Thanks:)
stephy () - 08/Jun/2003 9:01:47 PM

hey ellen and E-diddy, i had that same stuff too. i used to play with it with my tongue.
Katrina () - 12/Aug/2003 5:11:01 AM

My Friend has a really bad over bite, even after he had braces for a year. Does this sound right? or did they rip him off?
Erika () - 23/Aug/2003 6:03:13 PM

Jay () - 04/Sep/2003 9:09:30 PM
