Orthodontic springs are coiled dental devices designed to apply controlled force to teeth as part of braces or aligner systems. They generate movement—such as rotation, uprighting, or horizontal shifts—by wrapping around archwires, brackets, or hooks, helping align teeth over time during orthodontic treatment.
These devices are single-use, intended for one patient throughout their entire treatment period before disposal. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they’re typically classified as medical devices due to their direct interaction with oral structures and orthodontic function.
