Introduction
In orthodontic treatment, precision and flexibility are key. Crimpable hooks are small yet essential components that orthodontists use to provide extra anchorage on archwires. These hooks make treatment more versatile and efficient by allowing attachments such as elastics, auxiliaries, and traction devices.
What are Crimpable Hooks?
Crimpable hooks are tiny metal attachments that can be crimped (secured tightly) onto rectangular orthodontic archwires. Unlike pre-welded hooks, they can be placed exactly where the orthodontist needs them, giving more control and customization during treatment.

Uses of Crimpable Hooks
1. For Elastic Attachment – Patients often need elastics (rubber bands) to correct bite problems. Crimpable hooks provide a secure point of attachment.
2. Auxiliaries – Used to attach ligatures, chains, or other orthodontic accessories.
3. Space Closure – Helpful in applying traction force for space closure during treatment.
4. Flexibility – Orthodontists can add them at any point during treatment without replacing the entire archwire.
