Abstract

Loops or springs can be used as frictionless mechanics to achieve controlled tooth movement as compared to sliding. or friction mechanics. T-loop is one of the versatile appliances used to distalise canines. 0:017 X 0.025-inch TMA wire was used to fabricate the Tloop. Excellent clinical results were achieved in Angle's Class Icrowding case with deep bite using T-loop.
