Abstract
The invention contemplates configurations of permanently magnetized magnetic elements adapted for fixation to different teeth for so torsionally reacting with each other as to apply continuous unidirectional torque as needed for particular orthodontic applications. The magnetic reaction responsible for such torque development is also instrumental in providing an environment for concurrent development of osteogenesis and soft-tissue repair, in aid of the orthodontic displacement process.
