1. To move a tooth labially
โขItโs often used when an incisor is lingually displaced (pushed back toward the tongue) and needs to be brought forward into alignment.
2.Applies a light, continuous force
โขThe spring is designed to apply a gentle and controlled pressure, which is ideal for delicate movements, especially in young patients or cases needing precision.
3.Typically used in removable appliances
โขItโs incorporated into removable acrylic orthodontic plates like a Hawley retainer modified for active movement.
4.Adjustable by the orthodontist
โขThe design allows the spring to be activated or adjusted periodically as treatment progresses.

โ๏ธ How It Works:
โขThe Warren spring consists of a looped or helically coiled wire that is positioned behind the tooth.
โขWhen activated, it exerts pressure on the lingual surface of the tooth, pushing it forward into proper alignment.
