Abstract

The management of impacted canines is a complex task and requires a lot of time to guide them into the arch. In recent years the use of a Kilroy spring has become very popular and usually involves the use of a heavy main archwire and an auxiliary wire to guide the canine. In this case, a modified version of the Kilroy spring was fabricated on the main archwire, thereby reducing the need for a second auxiliary wire and allowing for the easy guidance of the impacted canine into its normal position into the arch.
