Cantilever springs are simple and efficient orthodontic appliances with a wide variety of clinical uses. Biomechanically, cantilevers are able to produce statically determinant force systems, giving the clinician the opportunity to deliver qualitatively and quantitatively precise forces. Cantilever springs have a large range of clinical applications. They can be used in first-, second-, and third-order problems. The basic design of cantilever springs and their various clinical applications are discussed. |
