CRIMPABLE SPLIT HOOKS |
| Split Hooks are used to reactivate compressed open coil. The coil is compressed and the hook is squeezed onto the archwire. The hook (a stop does not have a hook) helps in handling and may be cut off or bent to the side after placement, if annoying to the patient. We recommend using a Matheau Plier or Weingart Plier; both have serrations on the tips to handle split hooks. These items are available in sizes for round or rectangular wire. Utilizing the split hook for elastic attachment to the archwire has met with disappointing results, because the hook will either move or fall off. If these are used for elastic attachment to the archwire, they should be soldered.
Split Stops (no hook, otherwise the same) are also used for spacing purposes. Leaving off the hook makes attachment more comfortable for the patient, but is more difficult for the clinician to place. |

WARREN TORQUING SPRINGS |
| Warren Springs are used for torquing of individual teeth. Since the IP Appliance® torqued brackets, less Warren Springs are used, but there is still the occasional single tooth that needs added lingual root torque. Position the spring over .019 x .025 archwire, so that the extension points to the center of the archform and the "coil" of the spring covering the archwire will be wound, not unwound. Tie in the archwire with the Warren Spring extension pressing against the crown of the tooth. |

BONDABLE BUTTONS - METAL |
| with rounded pads are used on the lingual of bicuspids to obtain an attachment for power chain. Rotational correction is significantly quicker using lingual mechanics. Bondable buttons are also used for unerupted teeth (such as impacted cuspids or partially erupted teeth) to provide force application. |

LIP BUMPER ASSORTMENT |
| Useful in treatment of cases with lip habits or when treating cases by Cetlin non-extraction principles. A Lip Bumper is positioned into .045 tube welded onto lower molar bands. The bumper is placed in the vestibule anterior to the lower incisors and four to five millimeters wider than the bicuspids. Expansion of the lower arch, molar distalization, molar tipback, molar expansion and lower incisor advancement are all possible by adjusting the lip bumper. To prevent lower incisor advancement, adjust the bumper to be positioned low in the vestibule. The lower lip contacts the facial surface of the incisors, which reduces advancement. Sizes 0 to 4 have a U loop for advancement of the bumper as the molar distalizes, and for initial sizing. The U loop acts as a stop. The universal size does not have a loop. The stop may be made by bending a loop, bend or piece of solder. Lip bumpers may also be used to "tie-forward" a recently advanced lower 3-3 segment after corticotomy. To use lip bumpers, you need to have "Lip" variation buccal tubes on the first molar bands. |

SAIF SPRINGS |
| Saif Springs are used for Class II or Class III applications when patient cooperation is lacking. The springs are fixed into place by crimping the molar ball hook over the circular end, or using a loop of "double twisted" Kobayashi Hook wire (.012) to secure the spring to the anterior segment. The force generated is approximately 500 grams, but will be larger when the mouth is opened. This heavy force will tend to cause bracket debonding and loose bands, so expect a continued battle with your patient. In some cases, Saif Springs are the only method to gain control of the Class II or Class III situation.

GOLD FLUTED BUR |
| Used to remove the adhesive remaining on the tooth after bracket debonding. When used in a dry field with a high-speed handpiece, removal of adhesive is made easy, because the adhesive has a dull, chalky appearance compared to the enamel. Complete removal of adhesive is assured by this method, as opposed to removal by the band removal plier. |

PALATAL BAR ASSORTMENT |
| Goshgarian Transpalatal Bars are used for: expansion of the upper arch, derotating (mesial-buccal) upper first molars to gain arch length and Class II correction, torquing of upper molars, anchorage enhancement, intrusion of upper molars, and distalization of molars. Preformed arches in seven sizes allow for fabrication at chairside. Choose the arch that extends approximately from the central groove on either side of the arch, and contour to the palate (or study model) with a light wire plier. Next, adjust the amount of toe-in and torque at the double-back bends, holding the double-back bends with a lingual arch forming plier to avoid distortion of these machine-made bends. Insert one side into the sheath using an angle Howe plier and observe where the opposite side is positioned. If the doubleback bend is distal to the sheath, derotation of each molar will occur when engaged. If positioned inferiorly, buccal root torque will result, and vice-versa. If the opposite side is positioned more buccal, then expansion will result. After confirming the activation desired, lock the double-back bend into the sheath by squeezing the Howe Plier on the distal surface of the molar and the other side of the plier placed against the palatal bar. The rounded end of the double-back bend should extend beyond the sheath when in the locked position. Place a ligature tie (steel or elastomeric) from the sheath hook over the end of the bar for extra security. Molar bands must have "sh" (.036x.072 sheath) welded to the lingual to accept the palatal bar.
Adjustment may be done intraorally with an Angle Howe Plier or a Three-Prong Plier. To expand and derotate, squeeze at the center of the U loop. To expand and effect mesial-palatal rotation, squeeze at the intersection of the vertical leg and U loop. To effect root torque, remove and bend the double-back bend.
Be certain that the U loop does not impinge on the palatal tissue. Intra oral adjustment of the loop height can be made with a 3 prong plier on the vertical sides of the palatal bar. Transpalatal arches may be used on second molars, as well as first molars (catalog #090-030 assorted set of 35 palatal arches, catalog #090-035 to 065 packs of 5 palatal bars in the 7 possible sizes) |
