Figure 1.

The configuration of mechanics. (A) Frontal view. The red circles represent the tooth surface with which the thread is in contact. (B) Force diagram. The red arrows indicate the force vectors acting on the incisor, and the blue arrow denotes the force vector working on the archwire. The green circular arrow represents the couple force acting on the incisor. (C) Quantitative analysis of wire twisting technique. The red arrows denote orthodontic force generated from twisted wire. Due to the bracket play, the moment arm is less than the wire dimension. Despite high orthodontic force, the obtainable moment is rather limited. (D) Quantitative analysis of Park’s cervical torque tie. The red arrows demonstrate forces from the elastic thread. The moment arm is adjustable between 3 and 5 mm. With small orthodontic force, a large moment is obtainable.

(A, B) The cervical torque tie’s intraoral view. The composite resins on the cervical area prevent the gingival damage which can be caused by the gingivally displaced thread. (C, D) Diagrams showing the couple force direction. The grey tooth indicates the initial position, and the orange tooth represents the latter position. Depending on whether the thread is on the cervical or incisal area, palatal or labial root moment can be obtained.
