Orthodontic crimpable stops are small metal components, typically made of medical-grade stainless steel, that are fastened onto archwires to control their movement. They are essential for preventing wires from “walking” or sliding out of brackets, especially when using self-ligating systems, and for managing space by activating components like open coil springs

Archwire Stabilization: Prevents the wire from sliding or shifting within the brackets, ensuring consistent force application.

Space Management: Often placed against compression springs to create or maintain space between teeth.

Versatile Design: Most stops feature an “open-wall” or “split” design, allowing them to be placed on the wire without having to remove the entire archwire from the mouth.

Wire Compatibility: They are generally universal, fitting various sizes of both round and rectangular wires (typically up to .021″ x .025″)
