Abstract
Impacted canines are prevalent and most of the time palatally positioned. Traction of impacted canine is performed by various methods. The aim of this study is to present a new method for impacted canines’ traction which is safe, hygienic and also applying light continuous force. This novel cantilever spring which is made of 0.014-inch stainless steel wire, is beneficial to be used in cases of canine impaction because of its safety and low force/deflection ratio.
Highlights
It is common in daily orthodontic practice to encounter impacted canines which occur in approximately 2 percent of the population [1,2]

Impaction of mandibular canines occur 20 times less than maxillary ones. Maxillary impacted canines are palatally positioned in 85% of cases. Impacted canines are usually related to space deficiency [2,4,5,6]. Absence of vestibular bulging or presence of palatally bulge
