Soldered hooks offer strength and rigidity, at the expense of convenience and time. Crimpable hooks install quickly, but can migrate under orthodontic traction, costing valuable treatment time. Both options present a number of compromises. The Solution - Metallurgic Elasticity Trillium Compression Hooks are slightly undersized relative to their corresponding wire. Made of Nickel Titanium, Trillium Compression Hooks deflect elastically around the wire during installation. Once installed, the Super Elastic Trillium Compression Hook grips tight, applying a compressive force to the archwire virtually eliminating the possibility of hook migration. The Tightest Grip Proven performance with over 3 years of clinical testing, Trillium Compression Hooks provide dramatically more resistance to dislodgement than Crimpable Hooks.
