economical system for the alignment of impacted and ectopic teeth.

a bonding base. The appliance is activated by systematically
shortening the spring. It is reliable and demonstrates a constant
application of force throughout the treatment procedure, includ-
ing stable maximum anchorage.

Pivot-mounted button

Many different traction appliance options are available for the


task of aligning the ectopic or impacted tooth. The forces in some Bonding base button
of these appliances are generated by elastics. The quality of the
material of elastics, elastic chains or an elastic rubber thread
makes frequent replacement necessary for the purpose of re-
activation. Lever designs are highly elastic and supply effective Space maintaining spring

damaged, rather uncomfortable for patients, and make oral

Inventor Dr. Michael Schubert

The EASY-WAY-COIL system design did not come to me overnight, in fact this design
formed slowly and gradually over a period of a few years. Each time I experienced an
adverse effect directly related to the design and function of a particular appliance, I
started to formulate new appliance design solutions.

In my opinion the EWC system has three distinct advantages:

Control
The rigid nature of this traction spring system permits controlled tooth movement in all
directions of space, as long as one point of anchorage is available. Remember this
anchorage does not always have to be the archwire, however I choose the arch wire
repeatedly for its ease of use.

Forces
I wanted to design a system that was simple, easily reproducible and clinically easy to perform. Cutting 3 rings of the spring
equals cutting 1mm of active length, which generates a force of 0.158N. Thus the total force generated can be adjusted by
clipping multiples of 3 rings.

Control of rotational torque/moment


Probably the most pronounced advantages of my system is its ability to control torque. The rigid nature of this spring
produces an anti-rotational movement. Now I can move my canines in a lateral direction without unintentionally exerting a
rotational movement (favorable for canines with palatinal impaction). With a traction force of roughly 0.3N and the lingual
button attached at a distance of 2-3mm from the cuspid’s longitudinal axis, an anti-rotational torque of 0.8-0.9 Nmm is
generated.

My patients have greatly profited from the EWC system with excellent treatment results and optimal comfort. I have experi-
enced a high level of controlled tooth movement with a full understanding and control of forces needed for efficient and safe
tooth movement.

EASY-WAY-COIL spring system produces a complete treatment approach for impaction producing
many advantages that other systems cannot provide.

• Sturdy and stable • Variable direction of traction


• Prevents undesired rotation • Simple re-activation
• Repels Mucosa and scar tissue • Precisely quantified amount of force
• Prevents inflammatory reactions • High degree of comfort for patients
• Intermitting forces • Clinically reliable & economical
• Long activation • Unilaterally or bilaterally
• Constant precise force during activation • Can treat both lingual and buccally impacted teeth
• Simple re-activation and variable direction

“Choosing the right force minimizes root damages
and reduces treatment time!”

MULTI DIRECTIONAL & ANTI ROTATIONAL

Intermitting forces
The EASY-WAY-COIL® is activated in small steps in 4 week inter-
vals. As the tooth reaches the position needed for re-activation,
this in turn creates an interval of tooth movement and allows
recovery of the tissue in between activation steps. These intermit-
ting forces allow permanent blood supply to all surrounding

Activation Distance = 2mm - Optimum Force = 32 cN

The advantages of using a stainless steel spring vs. a Niti spring


can be seen clearly throughout all our clinical testing. Couple
this high functioning spring with a custom designed button and
you have the perfect traction appliance.

Sturdy and stable


Stainless steel springs permit accurate and sturdy formation of
the eyelet, with no introduction of rotation and allows simple and
easy re-activation later in treatment.
