Abstract

Loss of space in the mandibular arch is a common occurrence due to several different causes such as caries, trauma or iatrogenic damage. This paper describes a new TMA spring used in mixed dentition for space regaining in the mandibular arch. A clinical report is presented and the advantages of the method are discussed.
