Popis:	Uprighting molar that is mesially angulated improves its periodontal status, coupled with bone deposition at the distal surface. 1 , 2 It also provides adequate support to its occlusal antagonist and maintains a stable occlusal pattern. Various methods for uprighting molars using springs, nickel-titanium superelastic wires, and miniscrews have been elucidated in literature. 3 - 5 This article presents a modification of spring fabricated of nickel-titanium that is effective in uprighting mesially angulated molars with minimal invasiveness. The proposed advantage of using this spring was that buccal flaring of the angulated molar was not observed due to the mild distalizing force applied against the molar by the tugging action of the spring.
