- Push Coil
Push Coil is actually known as Open coil springs. It is used to open up space. They are used on the main wire. When it is compressed between two or more teeth, it exerts the force outwards from centre, which pushes the teeth along with it with force.
The force is usually determined by the length. More the compression, more the force it is. However, by saying that excessive force cannot be used. The ideal length would be from the end of one bracket to the full size of the other bracket.
Please note, Push coil shouldn’t be used with NiTi wires and Terminal end of the push coil should be quicklig.
To see how to place a push coil, watch the video above.

It is possible, we would advise speaking with your specialist. You may need implant/bridge.
I hope this helps.
@@cephtacticsdental thank you for the reply Sir, he said he is going to pause things because its not safe for the bone, then he is gonig to start opening them again, i am just worried about bone lose, by the time i start reopening the space it will be 5 month since extraction again thank you for replying to me
Do quick ligs prevent tipping when closing spaces with power chains?
Yes unwanted tipping and rotations.
Is this the same as the Sleeve back (or push) technique?
Not sure about sleeve back, but push yes.
What is the type and size of wire that ideal to ocs?
The question is not very clear, but if you're asking about the archwire, it should be stainless steel or rectangular NiTi to provide active push-coil.
I can press my coil in middle and it moves backwards then pops back without coming off is this normal I checked with my normal dentist he said its nothing wrong. Haven't told authodontist
Please contact your orthodontic clinic, they will be able to offer more specific advice for your situation.
