Why Do Some Patients Need Braces With Springs?

Braces have a lot of components, including wires, brackets, and rubber bands. However, you might notice some braces that have additional features, too. For example, some people need metal springs connecting their top and bottom rows of teeth. Other patients might have smaller springs running along their wires. So what do braces with springs do- and who needs them?

Why Are Braces With Springs Used?

Springs are used to correct a wide variety of orthodontic issues, from crowding to bite problems. Their compacted design makes them perfect for putting gentle pressure on parts of the mouth. This allows them to help fix alignment issues without the added bulk of other devices (such as headgear). There are a few different types of braces with springs. Let’s discuss the most common kinds. ON THIS VIDEO we are looking at the Open coil springs!

Open coil springs are orthodontic devices used to create space between teeth or to close gaps in braces treatment. Imagine you have two teeth that are too close together, and the dentist needs to make room for them to move into their correct positions. That's where open coil springs come in!

These springs are like tiny, flexible coils made of metal that are placed between the brackets or bands on your teeth. They work by applying a gentle but steady force to push the teeth apart, creating the space needed for proper alignment.

Here's how they work:

Placement: Your dentist will carefully place the open coil springs between the brackets or bands on your teeth where space needs to be created. They are attached to the wire that runs through the brackets, so they stay in place during treatment.
Force Application: Once in place, the open coil springs exert a continuous force on the teeth, gently pushing them apart. This force encourages the teeth to move gradually over time, creating the necessary space for alignment.
Adjustment: Throughout your braces treatment, your dentist may adjust the open coil springs as needed to ensure that the teeth are moving properly and that the desired space is being created.
Treatment Goals: Open coil springs can be used for various purposes in braces treatment. They may be used to create space for crowded teeth to move into alignment, close gaps between teeth, or make room for other orthodontic appliances.
While open coil springs are an essential part of braces treatment, they may cause some discomfort initially as your teeth adjust to the pressure. You may feel some soreness or pressure in your mouth, but this is normal and should subside as you get used to wearing them.

Overall, open coil springs play a vital role in helping your dentist achieve the best possible results in your braces treatment. By creating space between teeth, they allow for proper alignment and a beautiful, healthy smile! If you have any questions or concerns about open coil springs or your braces treatment in general, be sure to talk to your dentist. They're there to help guide you through the process and ensure that you achieve the smile of your dreams!
