A rotating wedge is used to rotate a tooth by placing its perforated tab over the bracket's tie wings on the side of the tooth which needs to be rotated lingually. The rotation force is then delivered by a tied-in arch wire.
Direct bond attachments—buttons, cleats, hooks, eyelets—are designed for a variety of applications, ranging from cuspid retraction to forced eruption. They are all contoured for the finest fit, superior retention and patient comfort.
Commonly referred to as "arch wire stops," Gurin Locks are ideal for adjustable or tie-back stop applications; spring activation; or for prevention of wire migration. The locks are tied into place by positioning the slotted bolt over the arch wire and tightening the nut with the special Gurin Wrench.
