It is made from a springy wire with four small loops (\u201chelices\u201d) that help deliver light, continuous expansion forces. Dentists and orthodontists often use it in children or adolescents to correct crossbites and improve arch shape. It is typically attached to molar bands, so it stays in place between visits."}
