2. Removable Appliances
Introduction:-
• Definition:Orthodontic appliance are devices by
means of which mild pressure may be
applied to a tooth or group of teeth & their
supporting structure so as to bring about
necessary changes within the bone which will
allow tooth movement.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
4. • Classification of removable
appliances:1)According to Graber & Neumann:a) Active appliances-force within the appliance.
b) Functional appliances-use muscular forces.
2)According to the function of removable
appliances:-

5. a)For buccal or labial movement:
-Z spring
-T spring
b) For lingual movement:
-Canine & premolar spring
-Molar spring
-Soldered auxillary spring
c) For mesial & distal movement:
-Finger spring
-Expansion screw
-Canine retractors

6. d) Spring for expansion:
-Coffin spring
-Screw appliance
e)Extrusion & intrusion of teeth:
-Anterior bite plane
-Posterior bite plane
-Inclined plane
f) Habit breaking appliances:
-Tongue spikes,cribs for tongue thrust.
-Lip bumper for lip sucking.
-Oral screen for mouth breathing.

7. g)According to attachment:i) Attachment at one end- Cantilever spring
ii) Attachment at both end- Labial bow
h)Number of arms in spring:i) Single cantilever- Finger spring
ii) Double cantilever- Z spring
i)According to the coil:i) Spring with coil- U shape canine retractor
ii) Spring without coil- Helical coil canine retractor

8. j)According to the placement:i)Buccal spring/Labial springHelical canine retractor
ii)Palatal/Lingual springFinger spring, Z spring
k)According to force applied:i)Push type-Labial wire of removable appliance
ii)Pull type- Retraction ligature

9. l)According to amount of pressure applied:-Heavy pressure
-Light pressure
m)According to mode of adhesion:-Bonding
-Banding
n)Functional/muscle motivating orthodontic
appliance are divided into thre broad
categories[Graber Neumann]
Group I-Teeth supported appliance
eg:Inclined planes,Oral sheilds
Group II-Teeth/tissue supported appliance
eg:Activator , Bionator

10. Group III- Vestibular positioned appliance
eg: Frankel functional regulator
Oral screens
o) Schwarz recognized the intimate relationship of
force magnitude & tissue response & classified
orthodontic force into four degrees of biological
efficiency [Graber Neumann]
i) First degree of efficiency:
The orthodontic force in the first degree of efficiency
are below the threshold of stimulation needed to
activate orthodontic tooth movement or they are
balanced by compensatory forces.
eg: Frankel appliance
www.indiandentalacademy.com
11. ii) Second degree of efficiency:
are that type of forces that are most favorable to
achieve continuous tooth movement without root
resorption. Resorption of alveolar bone in the
pressure zone will happen at the same rate as
deposition in the area of tension.
iii) Third degree of efficiency:
are that forces that can interrupt the blood
circulation in the periodontal membrane. They
are of medium strength 20-50 gm/cm. The tissue
are not yet crushed.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
12. iv) Fourth degree of efficiency:
are of such magnitude that the periosteal membrane
is crushed between the root & alveolar bone in the
area of greatest pressure. If continuous, the
consequence is extensive necrosis of alveolar bone
& root resorption. Irreparable may be caused to the
tissue involved.
