Space closure typically occurs more easily in high-angle patterns with weak musculature than in low-angle patterns with stronger musculature. The rate of closure can be increased, particularly in high-angle cases, by slightly raising the force level or using thinner archwires. However, more rapid space closure can lead to loss of control of torque, rotation, and tip.

Loss of torque control results in upper
incisors being too upright at the end of
space closure with spaces distal to the
canines and a consequent unaesthetic
appearance. The lost torque is difficult
to regain. Also, rapid mesial movement
of the upper molars can allow the
palatal cusps to hang down, resulting in
functional interferences, and rapid
movement of the lower molars causes
"rolling in"

Reduced rotation control can be seen mainly in the teeth adjacent to extraction sites, which also tend to roll in if spaces are closed too rapidly Reduced tip control produces unwanted movement of canines, premolars, and molars, along with a tendency for lateral open bite. In high-angle cases, where lower molars tip most freely, the elevated distal cusps create the possibility of a molar fulcrum effect www.indiandentalacademy.com

In some instances, excessive soft-tissue hyperplasia occurs at the extraction sites ,this is not only unhygienic, but it can prevent full space closure or allow spaces to reopen after treatment. Local gingival surgery may be necessary in such cases.

Proper alignment of bracket slots is essential to eliminate frictional resistance to sliding mechanics. The common procedure is to use .018" or .020 " round wire for at least one month before placing .019"´.025" rectangular wires. Leveling and aligning continues for at least a month after insertion of the rectangular wires, and that space closure cannot proceed during that period.

Therefore the rectangular wires are tied passively for at least the first month, until leveling and aligning is complete and the archwires are passively engaged in all brackets and tubes
Conventional elastic tiebacks are than placed ,In some cases, this phase takes three months.

First-order or rotational resistance
at the mesiobuccal and distolingual aspects of the posterior bracket slots is produced by rotational forces on the buccal aspects of the posterior teeth.
The most effective way to counteract this resistance is to apply intermittent lingual elastic forces— one month from cuspid to first molar, the next month from cuspid to second molar.
There are three primary sources of friction during space closure

Second-order or tipping resistance
at the mesio-occlusal and distogingival aspects of the posterior bracket slots is caused by
excessive and overactivated tieback forces, which lead to • tipping of the posterior teeth, • inadequate rebound time to upright these teeth,• and a resultant binding of the system.
The importance of light forces (50-150g) and minimal activation length (to provide time for uprighting) cannot be overemphasized.

Third-order or torsional resistance
occurs at any of the four areas of the bracket slot where the edges of the archwire make contact.
Like tipping resistance, this is produced mainly by
excessive and overactivated tieback forces, which cause the upper posterior lingual cusps to drop down and the lower posterior teeth to roll in lingually

Since forces are directed from the first molars to anterior hooks on the archwire, small spaces occasionally open between the first and second molars.
This can be managed in one of three ways: A damaged lower premolar or first molar bracket, either from careless use of biting sticks during bonding or from improper diet, can hinder space closureInterference from opposing teeth sometimes restricts lower arch space closure, particularly if bracket placement was incorrect or a full-unit Class II molar relationship existed.

As spaces close, the distal ends of the archwires will protrude
more and more, and these protruding wires will tend to become
bent gingivally by chewing forces
Certain tissue factors can hinder full space closure with any kind
of mechanics. Soft-tissue build-up can result from poor plaque
control or overly rapid space closure. The alveolar cortical plate,
mesial to the lower first molars, tends to narrow after extraction of
the second premolars, especially in lower-angle situations.
Retained roots, ankylosed teeth, and bone sclerosis are other
possible factors to be considered.

The segmental arch technique as developed by Burstone utilizes T loop space closure springs for anterior retraction, symmetric closure or posterior protraction.
The segmental T loop as described by Burstone is one of the most versatile space closure devices available.
One of the main principles of the segmental arch technique is considering the anterior segment and posterior segment as one large tooth respectively. The right and left buccal units are connected by a transpalatal arch forming one big posterior unit.
The basic configuration of the TMA loops consists of a .017X.025” TMA wire.

The rate of decay of the force applied by a spring is called the load-deflection rate, and it averages 33 Gm. per millimeter in the Burstone’s T loop.
The low load-deflection rate is important in this spring, since it enables the orthodontist to deliver optimal magnitudes of force.

High-load deflection springs as vertical loops dissipate force rapidly; hence, one must activate to very high force levels in order to produce any significant tooth movement.
Since the load-deflection rate is so high, it would be impossible for a clinician to activate the loop to produce an optimum magnitude of force. To deliver 200 Gm. of force, the required activation would be 0.2 mm. Not only is it practically impossible to activate such a small distance, the force of 200 Gm. would be dissipated rapidly over the remaining 0.2 mm. of activation. Thus, orthodontists who use high-force load-deflection mechanisms must use high force values that have undesirable sequelae, which include anchorage loss, pain, and undermining resorption.

In contrast, a retraction spring with a low load-deflection rate of 33 Gm. per millimeter allows for the delivery of optimal force levels, since an error in activation of 1 mm. results in an error of only 33 Gm. Furthermore, as teeth move distally, the reduction in force is small, giving greater constancy of force at optimal levels.
Early in treatment, the posterior teeth are joined together to form a
posterior anchorage unit.
The anchorage unit consists of the right and left posterior teeth which
are connected by a buccal stabilizing segment and a transpalatal lingual
arch in the maxillary arch and a low lingual arch in the mandibular arch
During space closure, it is to be considered that there are only two teeth
— an anterior tooth comprising the incisors and the canines which have
been connected and a posterior tooth which includes molars and
premolars www.indiandentalacademy.com

To understand its design one must
first understand its passive form of
the spring and then its activation.
In the passive state there are no
moments or forces acting on it. In
its active state it applies a force
system on the teeth,
The activation of a spring requires
forces and moments to engage the

The neutral position in an activated

horizontal forces. In other words the

horizontal force
The horizontal force is got by pulling
the spring open from this position.

Differential moments are obtained by the principle of off center V bends which results in unequal moments. the closer the V bend is to the tooth the higher the moment. the segmented T loops approximated a V bend. Clinically the spring needs to be positioned at least 1-2mm closer
to one side than another to obtain a moment differential.www.indiandentalacademy.com
Bio

Clos
ure With the introduction of beta-titanium wire (TMA), it has been
possible to simplify the design so that a T loop by itself will have
a relatively low load-deflection rate and a large maximum
springback. The heavier base arch which fits into the auxiliary
tube of the first molar is important, since it allows positive
orientation of the spring and, more significantly, it is capable of
withstanding, without permanent deformation, the higher
moments that are needed for anchorage control. Furthermore, the
use of a heavier base arch tends to increase the moment-to-force
ratio on the anterior teeth, since any bending in the occlusally
positioned part of the spring tends to minimize this ratio.
To aid the clinician in achieving the proper angulation, templates
are used. Rather than to measure the angles, it is more
expeditious to duplicate the shape of the spring from a template. www.indiandentalacademy.com

The T loop described in
Biomechanics by Nanda is designed
for an activation upto 6 mm.at full
6mm activation tooth movement
occurs in three phases: tipping,
translation and root movement.
For a symmetric centered spring an
initial activation produces a M/F
ratio of 6/1 which results in tipping
movement of the teeth into the
extraction space.

With 2mm deactivation or spring activation = 4mm the M/F ratio is 10/1 which results in translation of the segments towards each other. With 1-2mm space closure (spring activation =2mm) the M/F ration increases to 12/1 and higher resulting in tooth movement. Clinically the spring should not be re activated till all three phases are complete.

This demonstrates another method that may be used for controlling the forces and moments produced by segmented 0.017 ´ 0.025-inch TMA T-loop springs or closing loops in general.
Previously, the approach described for achieving differential alpha/beta moments with segmented T-loops used asymmetric angulations of the preactivation bends.
However, with this method the moment differential does not remain constant with spring activation, i.e., the moment differential is dependent on both spring activation and the differences in the preactivation angulations.

The effect of off-center placement of T-loops with a standard shape at a standardized activation and interbracket distance. A centered T-loop produces equal and opposite moments with negligible vertical forces. Off-center positioning of a T-loop produces differential moments. More posterior positioning produces an increased beta moment. More anterior positioning produces an increased alpha moment. A standard shaped T-loop can be used for differential anchorage requirements by altering the activation and mesial-distal position of the spring.

The T loop is positioned closer to the posterior segment (1-2 mm off centering) is sufficient .activation of 4 mm is necessary. This reduces the horizontal forces without altering the moment differential. The force system acting on the anterior segment favors tipping. The moment difference remains as the space closes and the spring deactivates.The spring must be re activated when 2 or less mm of activation remains.

Because the beta moment is greater than the anterior moment a vertical intrusive force acts on the anterior teeth which can exaggerate the tipping tendency and steepen the occlusal plane. Similarly the posterior occlusal plane can be steeped buy the extrusive force. Maintaining adequate horizontal force helps to reduce this effect. A High pull headgear can also be used to control the posterior occlusal plane. It is likely that root correction will be required at the end of space closure. www.indiandentalacademy.com

After the activations are placed the loops should be open
approximately 2mm before placing in the mouth. the wire is inserted
into the molar auxiliary tube and ligated to the anterior teeth. The t loop
bypasses the premolars brackets and is not inserted in them.
For TMA loops the activation can be 3mm distal to the molar tube
which gives it a range of force of 250-300gms.
The patient should be monitored but no further activations are
necessary for 2-3 months. Too frequent reactivation can prevent root

For enmasse retraction a rigid anterior segment can reduce this tendency. A canine bypass connecting he canines but bypassing the incisors can also control rotation. thirdly a anti rotation bend can be incorporated into the spring.
With asymmetric space closure vertical forces may be produced. these may produce undesired extrusive or intrusive tooth movements. these vertical forces may also produce third order side effects.
With group A space closure the third order side effect on the canine is troublesome the intrusive force causes a buccal flaring which increases the overjet at the canine and/or increases the intercanine width.

A frequently overlooked side effect of space closure is the first order
side effects.
The mesially directed buccally located force of the molar may lead to
the erroneous supposition that there is anchorage loss.
Distalization is not necessary . A mesially out directed force is all that is
needed to regain the original molar position.

The OPUS loop was designed to deliver an inherent M/F ratio sufficient for enmasse space closure via translation of teeth of average dimensions with no bone loss.
Because its inherent M/F ratio is high enough no preactivation bends is needed before insertion
The neutral position is the passive position of the spring as it sits before insertion.
Simple cinch back activations can take care of the tooth movement thresholds to meet anchorage objectives.

No closing loop design previously has been capable of delivering at constant M/F of 8.0 to 9.1 mm most having inherent M/F of 4-5 mm or less. To achieve net translation, orthodontists have had to add residual moments to the closing loop arch wire with angulation bends (gable bends) anterior and posterior to the loop, a posterior gable bend and angulations within the loop, or a posterior gable bend and anterior wire-bracket twist (anterior root torque).

ure Adding these residual moments has several disadvantages:
1. The teeth must cycle through controlled tipping to translation to root movement to achieve net translation (lower Young's Modulus materials go through fewer of these cycles for a given distance of space closure). 2. The correct residual moments are difficult to achieve precisely in linear materials. 3. The resulting ever-changing PDL stress distributions may not yield the most rapid, least traumatic method of space closure.
If a closing loop design capable of achieving inherent, constant M/F of 8.0 to 9.1 mm without residual moments were available, en masse space closure with uniform PDL stress distributions could be achieved. Such a mechanism would be less demanding of operator skill to apply clinically and might provide more rapid tooth movement with less chance of traumatic side effectswww.indiandentalacademy.com

The opus loop achieves a M/F ratio of 8-9.1mm without addition of activation bends in the loop or archwire itself.
