Different types of loops, such as omega loops, T-loops, Kalra Simultaneous Intrusion and Retraction (K-SIR) loops, or closing loops, are utilized based on the treatment plan and desired tooth movement [ 2 ].…”

The straight-wire device offers the best finishing potential and control. This case study focuses on the treatment of severe deep bite and Class II malocclusion involving first premolar extraction of the upper arch using a Kalra Simultaneous Intrusion and Retraction loop. Using minimal force and creating enough space for anterior teeth to retract while maintaining the Class II molar relationship was the aim of the therapy. Due to the unsightly excessive maxillary incisor showing at rest, the decision was made to intrude anterior teeth to treat a deep overbite. Good and consistent changes occurred post-treatment.
