  • Title: Space closure in adult patients using the segmented arch technique.
    Author: Manhartsberger C, Morton JY, Burstone CJ.
    Journal: Angle Orthod; 1989; 59(3):205-10. PubMed ID: 2774296.
    Abstract:
    Periodontally compromised adult patients may benefit from modified appliance designs for space closure. TMA T-loops of .016" x .022" and .017" x .025" cross sections, with angulations incorporated via concentrated bends and gradual curvature bends are presented. The force systems these appliances produce are measured, and their clinical performances discussed. Templates for these T-loops are presented. By producing lower forces and higher moment to force ratios, this type of T-loop may benefit patients with bony loss.
