The resiliency possessed by the wire acts as a defined static load on the dentition to correct the alignment or occlusion of the teeth. That is, the principle of the orthodontic device is that when a predetermined force is applied to the dentition, the alveolar bone supporting the teeth in the gum is gradually deformed (Bone Remodeling) to correct the dentition.
