3M Unitek Steiner Rotating Spring Wedge
A rotating spring wedge used in orthodontic treatment to correct tooth rotation, supplied with 0.010 inch ligature wire already in place.
The 3M Unitek Steiner Rotating Spring Wedge is an orthodontic auxiliary designed to help correct rotated teeth as part of fixed appliance treatment. 25 millimetre) ligature wire already fitted, which saves chairside time when the orthodontist places or adjusts the wedge against the bracket and archwire.
Rotation wedges like this one work by applying a light, sustained force that gradually derotates a tooth into proper alignment within the arch, and they are commonly used alongside standard brackets and elastomeric or wire ligatures during active treatment. As a small, disposable auxiliary component, it is stocked in bulk by orthodontic practices and dental supply distributors rather than fitted once and reused.
This listing covers the Steiner wedge configuration from the Unitek Springs and Push Rods range, supplied under two related catalog numbers for practice convenience.
