- Braces Explained: Coil Springs
In this video, I will be answer the question of "what are coil springs?" and highlighting the different type of coil springs we use in orthodontics!
Coil springs come in different types and in this video, I am going to be reviewing three different types of coil springs (open coil, closed coil & passive coil)
1] Open coil springs come in a spool and are used to create / open up space. They are used on your main wire and are compressed between two or more teeth. As they want to return to their original form (uncoiled), they will push your front tooth more forward, and the back tooth further back. Therefore, open coil springs on your braces are used to OPEN space!
2] Closed coil springs are the exact opposite of open coil springs. They are used to CLOSE space. They come in a conformation that is closed, and as we stretch them out and attach them to two teeth, they try to return to their original shape. As the coils return to their shape, they help decrease the space between teeth. Therefore, closed coil springs on your braces are used to CLOSE space!
3] Passive coil springs. These look very similar to closed coil springs but are not used to make or close space, but rather to preserve them. If you need to HOLD a certain space between teeth for either implants or for future veneers, these passive coil springs are what you likely have.

Man , i wanted braces so badly bcuz i had little bit space between my front teeth and one of my lower front teeth was slightly crooked , i am 18 now so now it costs 3300 instead of the 750 when ur a teenager , so i decided to work for it , i worked every weekend for it until i got the money and yesterday i went to get them , feel so satisfied unfortunatly they only put the upper just yet cuz my lower teeth have a slight hole in them so 31 of juli i will get my second part , im really happy
That is so awesome. Super proud of you for being so motivated & hard working to get your teeth fixed! Make sure you keep me posted with your progress! Cant wait to hear how your treatment progresses!
You won't be happy for long, hurts like hell hahahaha
none k i dont care about the pain as long as i get more confidence talking to people and not looking to another side just bcuz of my teeth i will be more than happy , doesnt even hurt that much first 3 days yes but then it goes away
Awesome, good for you! You will be so happy when it’s over and LOVE your teeth!!!

Headbanging while I watch.
You’re so good at explaining these things
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
I agree!!!
I have a spring in my braces and it hurts alot.
It will stop hurting I have the last coil (I forgot what its called) I had mine for 3 months
I have an open coil spring and at first it kept giving me really deep cuts and scratches but over time you forget it’s there
I just got my braces yesterday and I also got a spring attached to my braces . It was really painful when I got home and then my mom gave me medicine it really helped.
@@alvinard4043they were painkillers
Alvin Ard what kind of medicine cus i’m getting mines on monday 😩🥴
Don't even have this in my mouth. As soon as I saw your name, I clicked on the video 😂😂😂
This! Wow that's so nice to hear. Thank you so much for the support =]
It hurtsssss
My orthodontist putted a coil spring in my braces, you explained its purpose very simply. Thank you !
Wow it feels like I’m in school lol good job Dr. Greg, your channel is growing! 👌
😂It should feel like a way more fun version of school haha - Thank you so much! You've been here from so early on too so thank you for being a motivation!
I just have the open coil springs and it really hurts so much...I feel more pain than the first week of having my braces. I thought, the first week of having braces was the most painful one and once you can adopt. It eases the pain but not until my dentist put this open coil springs. I have to drink 2 pain killer med in a day.
I also just got open coil springs and it hurts so 😫
awesome video. I now have a good idea of what is in store for my future movements by looking at the brackets on my teeth. Thanks for such a clear and concise video
Thank you for very good and easy-to-understand explanation! Really helped!
Thank you so much for your effort, this had been very helpful and also enjoyable!
Finally got my braces on and I’ve got several of these coils, so I am happy to understand what they’re for!
Thank you Doc! You made this simple and easy to understand, didn’t need to look any further for an explanation on coil springs. 👍🏼
Thank you for the wonderful video! I just got this wire today and I became curious on why I have the open coil spring. Lmao. I had my braces for 3 months now. Subscribed 😁
feeling like am undergoing a refresher course, this wonderful Dr. Greg.
Glad that its helping you out!!
I'm getting braces today, and I'm excited to watch your videos to learn about It all! Thank you for making these!
Woohoo congrats!! That's so awesome. Best of luck today =] Make sure you sub & stay tuned bc I have a bunch of ideas for new videos. Look forward to having you on the channel!

thank you so much for making these videos. they're really helpful!
So glad that I'm able to help!
Got my coil spring yesterday. This explains everything thanks dr
Your videos are very informative ! Thank you
Perfect, I don't know how I overlooked this video. I'm getting the open coil spring to make room for an existing tooth. Thanks for the video you are awesome.
Did you got it? Do they hurt?
Thank you Doctor for this explanation. I have been looking for explanations on coil springs throughout my treatment and your explanations is the clearest that I've seen on youtube. Only regret is that I didn't find your channel sooner.
Thank you so much! That means a lot to me =]
Thanks for the explanation 🥰 im wearing the closed one to close 2 of my gaps 💪🏻
Thanks, I love your videos, I learn a lot!
Very well explained! Thanks Doc.
Of course! Thank you for checking it out =]
nice video and explanation! i saw my dentist yesterday and since then i've been suffering with two open coil springs 😭😭😭
Dr. Greg seems like the coolest doctor
Hello Dr. Greg. Wonderful video explaining the coils in an easiest possible way. I just got an open coil spring placed between the right lateral incisor and the first pre-molar, in order to create space to bring the canine forward. I would like to ask you that, within how much time does the space get created (on an average)? Also request you to show us in upcoming videos the types of archwires and also the types of brackets (not like metallic and ceramic), since not all the brackets on all the teeth look exactly same. Looking forward what next exciting topic you are going to introduce us to. Thank you.
Keep up with the great work! Warm wishes to your channel.
Hi Tushkar! First of all, thank you so much for your kind words =] I really appreciate the support. I like that idea and have put it on my list for upcoming videos! So for the space, it can take several months for the space to open. There are a lot of variables such as : how much space is already there, how much space you need, how fast your individual teeth move. Keep me posted on how long it takes for you!
Thank you for the explanation !
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Absolutely Amazing explanation ❤️
Very informative thanks doc
Thank you so much! =]
Thank you for suggestion Dr
Where I work (worked, I don't know anymore) when placing the O.C. we added steel tie to the distal and mesial teeth to where we want to open space (active) and just regular O-ties to where we want to hold space (passive).
thank you for this Dr. Greg! I got braces a few months ago and I keep forgetting to ask what the springs do!
Thank youuuu so much for this video!
Thanks so much for these videos very helpful
:') I have a large gap created from improper previous orthondontist treatment, and am now with a more compassionate, and honest office... What my past was never provided, my current orthondontist is.
He used open coil springs in the main concerned areas (first premolars and canines). And I believe it's now in due to open space, but to deposit new bone growth, to thereafter help better close these spaces. They'd be applying my bottom braces in October, and starting rubber bands. Thankfully, I'm confiding & seeing how it pans out.
Wow! This is Interesting!
Hello! Ive been watching your channel since February when I got my braces! I got open coil springs for my 5th adjustment yesterday, I got them on my lower front teeth due to crowding, in this case will I get power chains instead of closed coil springs in my case? Love your channel btw!
Thanks for your explaining
My orthodontist put in an closed coil spring
1st month He gave me rubber bands
2nd month he told me coil springs are better for retraction and added closed coil spring
on 11th I am going to tighten my braces 3rd appointment with tad.
Nice! If you want to learn more about TADs, I have a video describing what they are and why they are used
Got my coil spring in today & right away I had to youtube its purpose because my ortho didn't explain it🤷🏻♀️ Anywhoo, my bottom braces, where the coil was put in due to a crooked tooth, is already so sore😭 P.S I've been watching your videos since I've had my braces on. Thank you for being so informative!
I feel you, just got it done today and it hurt like hell!! Still does
Yayy new video i really love your videos i didnt even read the title nor the thumbnail i just saw your name and then i just clicked it♥️😂
AH this made my day! Thank you so much =] I look forward to making new videos for you all & love seeing all your enthusiasm!
Hind Kaitlyn same!
I had a passive coil at first because I had a baby tooth that they needed to preserve the space for an implant later. my lip got caught in it all the time and basically ripped little chunks out. it was annoying and hurt a lot. I got a new passive spring during my last wire change but it fits the gap much better. haven’t had any issues yet. I have a large gap from a missing molar so I might get an active spring at some point or maybe power chains (can’t afford two implants and I have an extra wisdom tooth on that side anyway).
Could you please do a vidio all about how to brush and clean the braces realy well
You got it Erin! That's on my list of upcoming videos!!! stay tuned
Really 🙂
Loving the page Doc. You are making me take more interest in Orthodontics in my practice.
A request; a video explaining Bracket placement. I would love to see your bracket placement protocol.
Thank you so much! I will try and get to that one =]
I went to my monthly appointment today and my orthodontist told me that she was going to insert a coil spring in order to make space in a specific area.
this might sound silly but I knew what to expect and most importantly I knew how the coil was gonna work inside my mouth thanks to YOU, so once again, thank you for these informative videos.
Your videos are very informative and interests me even though I don’t really like teeth and stuff
Thank you so much! That means a lot to me =]

As an engineer, this makes complete sense.
Hi Dr Greg, the closed coil springs. What sizes do they come in? I’m an ortho student. I watch your videos a lot. Thanks 😊
I have a spring for 2 months and in every of my adjustment, it hurts a lot.
Nice and informative.
Thank you so much sir... Your vedios are really helpful 🤗
THank you so much
I just got open coil springs and had no idea why. Great video
Hopefully now you know!! =] Thank you!
got two passive coil springs on bottom teeth for future fixed bridge
Neat!
So I got my braces and they didn’t tell me I was gettin this-
-Kayla ! it doesn’t hurt at all
they should disclose what they do to your teeth. but also make sure to ask LOTS of questions and inform them if anything bothers you
same i got mine today and i have 1 on both side
Same they just put that junk in there
😂
jasmine right.i got a open one and I didn’t even know til I got home and saw in the mirror
I appreciate the bedeo its exactly what i need i have brace and next week im gonna pull out those two theeth you show.i was wondering how they gonna close that space. Thanks
That's so great! I'm glad this was helpful! Make sure you subscribe so you can stay up to date w/ the newest content!
great video
I have some passive springs in my extraction gaps, and my god they can be great to fiddle with sometimes. I can just twiddle them on the wire with my tongue. Luckily they don't hurt because they aren't doing anything!
I just got springs in today connected from my k nine to my back molar . I was so confused when they talked about putting this in Bc I always made sure to wear my rubber bands .
How long does it take to open 5mm space? I have a open coil spring with the help of elastic bands
Mine started hurting recently, even though I've had them on for about 3 months now. I've been consistent with my rubber bands or elastics, and they're actively trying to shift but are held back with these likely open coil springs. 😅 I had an assistant in the office last tell me that they're likely just using an open coil spring as a passive/to hold it's gap there.
I have the same. I have a question through.. will the inside of my mouth ever get used to the rubbing of the open coil spring? I'm on day 3 with them and it hurts bad to open and close my mouth. Also I have the ceramic braces will my mouth ever get used to them lol I feel like I can't even talk right or like I have fake teeth that won't stay put haha
Thanks. Appreciate.
Thank you! I appreciate all of you guys!
Came here after getting a close coil spring today and man, it hurts! It’s like I just got my braces again for the first time. But then again, it will all be worth it.
You’re amazing
I had the passive coil springs !
My hidden canine is being brought down to its original space and my orthodontist just recently used a type of spring to supposedly bring down the canine to its position, and the spring is hooked into one of my teeth in the lower jaw and into the canine itself, what about that type doc? I didn't had the chance to ask it myself to my doctor😅
Ty doc
I had my first pre-molars extracted, and the gap is now being closed via closed springs. I know there are many factors at play, but do you know how much distance the springs close with every application? It's super cool to see Hooke's law in action.
Hi, may i know why u didnt consider implant on missing tooth? Just had a molar extracted, and i feel im missing something and that my treatment is useless bec the missing molar will make the rest of the teeth move especially it's upper counterpart.
@@qcrctgavarcesxrfab8015 maybe OP had to have teeth extracted because lack of space to fit the other teeth. It’s the most common reason why premolars are extracted.
@@qcrctgavarcesxrfab8015 because the gap is being closed that's the whole point
Hi I wanna know that did the orthodontics inserted tads into your gum for the coil spring? I've seen many videos about tads with them and I'm hella scared
You rock! ❤️
Thanks so much Katt!
Could you do a video about mini screws ( TAD ) and how they work, your videos are very helpful. Are they permanent, does the patient have to be numb to palace them?
Hi Mariam- all excellent questions!! && yes! I have that in the pipeline pretty soon so make sure to sub & stay tuned! =] They aren't permanent (actually the T in TAD means temporary... Temporary Anchorage Devices) but yes you do need to be numb to place them but generally its just a super tiny area && your whole face won't feel numb =]
Perfect
Great video! I have a closed coil spring to close a gap from an extraction. My orthodontist said it's not closing as quickly as she'd hope. Next Monday I'll get my TAD!!!
Veronica Chavez hi veronica, does your doctor extracted your lateral incisor for i have the same case. And im thinking to go for canine susbtitution
That's so great! My next video is on TADs too!! Im going to try and do my best to make that video this week as I"m out of town this upcoming weekend so hopefully I can make the TAD video by the time you have yours placed!

Hi,
My upper right canine was impacted. I had surgery to remove it /c bone graft and they extracted my first premolar on my upper left side. It's a lot going on in my case lol but I was afraid on how it'll look with one canine, she told me the premolar look like a canine, she showed me other cases pictures before and after (similar to mine). I was satisfied with the work she has done, she came highly recommended. I suggest you do your research and if it'll make you more comfortable ask your orthodontist to show you pictures of their work.
Maparaz Maplaz
Long story short upper left premolar was extracted..😬
Dr. Greg Asatrian
Great 👍! Is it weird I'm excited to get the tad lol. My orthodontist said not a lot of people want the tad but hey if it moves the teeth faster I'm all for it!! Million dollar smile here I come😬😁... I'm looking forward to your next video and I appreciate what you are doing.. Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
I have this, and didn't know their name in English, I've been searching YT for weeks 😄 You read my mind, or you have a good marketing team 😄
Thank you 😃💝😃🙏👑👑👑
Im getting braces next week and ive been really nervous about them cause I dont know how it will feel personally for me. Ive asked people how it feels and all the answers were different. On the bright side, your videos are really boosting up my confidence so I thank you very much Doc!😁
So glad I'm about to help you out! You're gonna do great!
Dr. Greg Asatrian I wish you were my orthodontist like whaaat!??😂😂😂you're awesome!
Haha thank you!! =] Make sure you keep us posted on your experience getting braces next week!
Lilly v nothing to fear but annoying during meals and especially feasts 😂 but you'll get used to it. May take a lot of time too when cleaning. I brush mine 3 times a day or every after meal. Takes a lot of your time, you may be late for work 😂
Just know it hurts bad after bout 4 hours after u get them on but give it 3 days and you’ll be ok once you get them tightened it’s 10x worse
I have a passive coil spring in my mouth currently, orthodontist put a brace on my tooth that is pulled behind from the rest, it’s being pulled forward, spring doesn’t hurt but that pulling sure does 😫
When he was adjusting the spring, I felt that😬😌
both my top canine teeth are impacted and they put a passive coil spring where it should be and it hurts a lot. theres a lot of space between the teeth so i can move the spring a lot, and so the end of the spring gets caught on the inside of my cheek and my lip whenever i make an open smile. i put some wav on it and pushed the spring into it for now, but im going this week to get it looked at.
Hallo am from Indonesia,thanks for sharing information
Thank you so much for watching!
I just got 4 coils in yesterday but i feel so sore today. I cant eat because to chew is so painful. Its been 7 months with today that i got my braces. Am so glad they gave me enough time to adjust to the braces before they added this. Otherwise i would be hospitalized 😂😂
This is so entertaining
Thanks for your videos the doctor I work for practices ortho as well and wants me to learn it lol
That's so great! Thank you so much for watching. Be sure to stop by and drop any questions you may have!
For how long the open coil should be weared? I got it yesterday for the front teeth. Thank for your reply!
Thanks for the videos I have to get braces in 2 days then I have a bowling tournament 2 days after that
loving the instrumental used in this one lol
Haha I've actually gotten that comment a few times 😂😎
please make a video about interproximal reduction procedures during orthodontics
That's a great idea! Will do =]
I think I have a passive coil spring on my top right, my adult canine is still in the gum, they explained that they'll attach a 'chain' onto the tooth and connect it to the coil to bring it down.
Yup! I actually plan on doing a video about that soon!
Hello can you explain on a video of implant and how it works and does it hurt. Also can you show how retainers work. Thank you!
Hi Ana! Sure, I actually want to make my next one on mini implants (I'm assuming that's what you're referring too?). Also, a retainer one is a great idea! I will add that to the list of upcoming videos so make sure you subscribe so you stay up to date!
Ooh nice, i getting my braces off in a week and I can't wait.
How awesome is that! You should make a video of it & share it on here =]
PS make sure to let me know if you do so that I can leave you a comment =D
Genesis 3:15
Can you please talk about expanders. Thank you.❤️
You got it!! The typodont (plastic teeth that I use in these videos) with an expander is in the mail right now for an upcoming video so stay tuned!!
I have a couple of passive coil springs
I was always wondering what my coils were. This is very informative. Thank you. I have three passive coils.
And now you know =] Thanks for checking this video out!
I had those when I first got my braces in, & they hurt sooooo bad . 😰 but, that was 2 years ago. I have elastics in my mouth right nowz
Awesome! Make sure you wear them =]
Can you make a video on how orthodontist close extraction gaps to fix protruded teeth please?
My orthodontist did not use any of this for my treatments,only rubber bands. My left side 1st molar is pulling forward, separate with the 2rd molar .
This is interesting. I am gonna ask my orthodontist how come I didn't get one since I have two missing teeth.
Am I the only adult here with braces? Got 3 teeth pulled 2 weeks ago and they added power chains all over, yesterday. I swear the pain is worse, compared to extractions. I can't even bite on a banana
MIn obade no you are not, I am on my 30s. I have two teeth missing and she said she was gonna try and close the space but she didn't give me these special wires so 🤷🏾♀️. Anyway so sorry to hear you are in pain. I used oragel and pain killers when I first got my braces. Oragel helped me a lot. Also I drunk a lot of smoothies. Heavy ones that are like complete meals.
nicky rosey
I had my braces for almost 9 months before the power chains were introduced, I had overcrowding, overbite and misalignment. It's weird seeing my teeth so straight. The over crowding was fixed with extraction. These power chains are the most painful. But then again I didn't get prescription pain killers this time.
MIn obade ohhhhhh... My situation is opposite I have two many spaces, plus the over bite, cross bite and all that mess. Been six months for me. I haven't seen any real results yet besides my front gap closing a bit. You can take probably aleve liquigel those help too.
Age 31. Got my braces put on at 29. 2yr treatment plan.
Ooh, you’re so right. I have two missing tooth at the bottom. She said she would closed them or try to. But I’ve been wearing passive coil since my treatment started 🤦🏾♀️. Although, she is an amazing doctor, I still need an explanation about my spaces. I have 5months left in treatment.
I had an open coil spring put in between my two front teeth to make space for composites and they are not moving. It's been a month and a half, even put a new one on that was supposedly going to be stronger.
Nice 😃
That's good and better to use
In the case of closed coil spring, since you can remove it, should you removed it if your eating or just let it stays in there?
