2. The intrusive tooth movement is used in the
correction of overbite.

INTRODUCTION
3. “Intrusion refers to the apical movement of
the geometric center of the root (centroid) in
respect to the occlusal plane or plane based on the
long axis of the tooth.”
4. TYPES
TRUE INTRUSION OR ABSOLUTE INTRUSION
RELATIVE INTRUSION
- achieved by preventing eruption of the
incisors, while growth provides vertical space into
which the posteriors erupt.
PSEUDO-INTRUSION
- labial tipping of an incisor around
its centroid.
5. PRINCIPLES OF INTRUSION
(BURSTONE AJO 1977)
• Controlling force magnitude
• Anterior single point contacts
• Point of force application
• Selective intrusion
• Control of reactive units
• Avoid extrusive mechanics
6. SELECTIVE INTRUSION
Leveling with a continuous arch or with a sectional
wire can produce undesirable side effects.
Many times the overbite is corrected not because of
intrusion but by extrusion.
7. AVOID EXTRUSIVE MECHANICS
Extrusive mechanics such as employing
class II or class III elastics should be
avoided in patient who need genuine
intrusion.
12. This auxiliary archwire was developed and
refined by Ricketts for bioprogressive therapy.
The utility arch engages only two molars and
the four incisors. It is commonly known as a 2
X 4 appliance.

15. It produces 60-100 gms on the lower incisors for
intrusion.
The overall effect is intrusion and possible torqueing
of the lower incisors as well as tipping back of the
molars.
5 mm space between the anterior border of the
auxiliary tube and the posterior vertical segment of
the utility arch allows tying back the utility arch.
17. • The tip back bend in the
molar segment leads to
posterior tipping of the
first molars.
• Which can be avoided by
placing a gable bend in the
posterior aspect of the
vestibular segment or a
transpalatal arch can be
used.
19. • The K-SIR ( Kalra Simultaneous
Intrusion and Retraction ) archwire
is a modification of the segmented
loop mechanics of Burstone and
Nanda
K-SIR archwire: .019“x.025" TMA
archwire with closed U-loops 7mm long
and 2mm wide.
20. • 90o V bend is placed at the level of each ‘U’ loop
• This ‘V’ bend when placed between first molar & canine during
space closure, creates two equal and opposite moments to
counter the moments caused by the activation forces of closing
loops.
21. • Archwire with off-center 60° V-bend placed about 2mm distal
to U-loop.
• Off-center V-bend creates greater moment on molar, increasing
molar anchorage and intrusion of anterior teeth.
22. • To prevent the buccal
segments from rolling
mesio lingually due to the
force produced by the loop
activation, a 20° anti-
rotation bend is placed in
the archwire just distal to
each U-loop .

position, loop is 3.5mm
rather than 2mm wide.
25. A. K-SIR archwire in place prior to cinching back
B. Archwire cinched back to activate loop about 3mm, so that mesial and

26. o Simplicity of design
o Less likely to cause tissue impingement.
o 0.019 x 0.025 TMA provides sufficient strength to resist distortion and
enough stiffness to generate the required moments.
o The superior material properties of TMA compared to stainless steel
o Reduced treatment time due to en-masse retraction.
o Frictionless mechanics
o Presence of offset V-bends act as anchor bends
o Molar anchor control is excellent even without headgear.

USES
29. It incorporates the characteristics of the utility arch as
well as those of the conventional intrusion arch.
Preformed with the appropriate bends
Two wire sizes are available:
.016 x .022
.017 x .025
Anterior dimensions of maxillary 34mm & mandibular
28mm, respectively.
The bypass, located distal to the lateral incisors, is
available in two different lengths to accommodate for
extraction, non-extraction, and mixed dentition cases.
30. The CIA’s basic mechanism for
force delivery is a V-bend
calibrated to deliver
approximately 40-60g of force.
Upon insertion, the V-bend lies
just anterior to the molar
brackets.
When the arch is activated, a
simple force system results,
consisting of a vertical force in
the anterior region and a
moment in the posterior region.
When the laterals are at a higher level than the centrals. These are not to be levelled by inserting a wire into all their brackets( continuous wire) because this would cause more extrusion of the laterals and a very little intrusion of centrals
Also the mesio distal moments ---undesirable.
Inhibition of eruption of posterir teeth
-The anterior segment is bent gingivally distal to the laterals and then bent horizontally creating a step of approximately 3mm.
-The distal part extends posteriorly to the distal end of the canine bracket where it is formed into a hook.
-The anterior segment should be made of 0.021”x0.025” stainless steel wire to prevent side effects created by bending of the wire during force application.
-The intrusion cantilevers are made from 0.017" X 0.025" TMA wire.
-The wire is first bent gingivally mesial to the molar tube and then a helix is formed. On the mesial end the cantilever, hook is bent through which the intrusion force can be applied to the anterior segment.
-The cantilever is then activated by the making a bend mesial to the helix at the molar tube, and then cinched back.
The anterior segment which is extended till the distal end of the canine bracket, i.e., 2-3 mm distal to the center of resistance of the anterior segment of teeth allows distal placement of the intrusive force, which is desired in a case of flared incisors.
-A small distal force can be added by placing an elastomeric chain extending form the molars to the anterior segment of wire on each side.
-An intrusive force through the centre of resistance of the four incisors will cause pure intrusion of these incisors along the line of action of the force.
If the intrusive force is placed distal to the centre of resistance and an appropriate small distal force is applied, intrusion and simultaneous retraction of the anterior teeth occurs. This is because of the clockwise moment created around the centre of resistance of the anterior segment
The overall force system includes an anterior intrusive force and a posterior extrusive force and a tip back moment.
But, when a small force is added between the anterior and posterior segments with an elastomeric chain a posterior tip forward moment is formed. This added force which produces a top forward moment on the posterior, reduces the tip back moment on posteriors and thus occlusal plane to tip.
2 couple system….
Two types of forces can be produced using the design which are retraction and intrusion.
Retraction can be achieved by grasping the end of the molar segment with a Weingart plier distal to the molar tube and then turning this segment gingivally after pulling the wire posteriorly through the tube. This type of activation prevents proclination of the lower incisors during intrusion
Intrusion of the anterior teeth can be produced in one of the two ways:
After ligating the utility arch into the anterior brackets, an intrusive force can be produced by placing an occlusally directed gable bend in the posterior portion of the vestibular segment of the archwire
Other type of activation involves placing a tip back bend in the molar segment. The tip back bend causes the incisal segment of the archwire to lie in the vestibular sulcus. The intrusive force is created by placing the incisal segment of the utility arch into the bracket of the incisors. This activation creates a moment that allows for the long action of the lever arm of the utility arch to intrude the incisors.
To obtain bodily movement and preventing tipping of teeth into extraction space a 90o Vbend is placed at the level of each ‘U’ loop, this ‘V’ bend when placed between first molar & canine during space closure, creates two equal and opposite moments to counter the moments caused by the activation forces of closing loops.
Trial activation to release stress
When the loops are first activated, the tipping moments generated by the retraction force will be greater than the opposing moments produced by the V-bends in the archwire. This will initially cause controlled tipping of the teeth into the extraction sites.
As the loops deactivate and the force decreases, the moment-to-force ratio will increase to cause first bodily and then root movement of the teeth. The archwire should therefore not be reactivated at short intervals, but only every six to eight weeks until all space has been closed.
The archwire is typically in place for four to five months.
By Nanda R, JCO 1998 dec 32 (12): 708-15
A slight difference in placement may alter the force system during activation. The moment created at the molar will also vary. These minor changes can be measured with a spring gauge when the arch is inserted, and the necessary adjustments can be made to ensure proper force delivery.
