with everything you need so anyways let's talk a little bit more about open
coil spring remember we talked about how you want to make sure first of all I
would never do an open quill spring on a late night I like this but this was a
great type not here and I would just wanted to kind of show
you what type of case I might use it for so this is just a great example so in a
case like this let's say for example with a displaced lateral incisor you
know I might just engage this tooth if it was more displace more palatable or
if I couldn't fully put the bracket on properly this is a this is a 50/50
whether or not I'd engage it or not at the first
session but I just want to show you an example there's not always a right or
wrong way to do everything so let's say for example I decided to bond this case
but I wasn't gonna engage this tooth yet I wanted to kind of retract this first
or make some more space with an open quill spring so that this tooth would
actually come forward you know more predictably so what I would do is I
would not put an open coil spring on the first wire no way because it'll bow out
okay so I would just go ahead and put my regular wires in tie in my 12 or my 14
or my 16 ninth I get things a little bit straighter and what I can get to a
heavier more rectangular wire then I place an open coil spring but I just
want to show you the example so when you measure open coil spring first of all I
always use night I open coil spring they do make stainless steel I don't think
that does that much so be careful when you buy it
make sure you're shopping for the right thing there's a couple different gauges
I usually use oh one two it's not too flexible but it's still stiff enough to
move teeth I always cut it a little bit about one bracket length bigger than the
space I need so this is not necessarily the ideal size right here so you can see
it's a little too long right that's why I just wanted to show you what not to do
and then we can kind of start to show you what to do so this is more what I'm
looking for maybe even a little bit less it depends on what kind of wire I'm in
and then I'm gonna go ahead this is how I do it honestly if you have good nails
which way through today good acrylic nails or good gel nails you with gloves
on of course you can go ahead and just do that with your fingernail under the
glove but you can also use a my favorite instrument is the ligature director if
you do order our digital kit this will come with it but you can go ahead and
just slide that open coil spring along you need to make sure that you like
eight the back teeth in first though otherwise the wire will just pop right
out okay we can go ahead just compress it and once you compress it now you have
to be treating pretty tricky here because once you compress it sometimes
you can just compress it and it'll just hold you know right there like it will
like this bracket will just keep it compressed but sometimes it pops out
sometimes you have to do a two-handed movement but basically that's pretty
much it and then you can see I went in and tied it here again disclaimer I
would not be doing this on this y're but I just want to show you an
example of a good case to do one on anyways nor would I tie it like this
this is how the type of hunt came I just saw this right now I would do this on
the distal great example of power chain I might repurpose this video for power
chain so anyways this is not how you do your power chain okay if you want to
retract a canine but anyways I hope this helps you know how to do it open quail
spring don't forget to practice before you do it on a right patient and always
always take progress pictures it's great to have documentation and oh by the way
this is not how I would do a note I either you mean if this is not like ated
Foley you really should do an figure 8 or you should do a stainless steel or
QuickTime alright thanks so much everyone there either have a great day
