The orthodontic spring materials in use have a significant influence on the applied forces. The prerequisite to identify the in vitro < force deflection of the CAD/CAM fabricated springs is considered mandatory to identify the material characteristics. The purpose of the present investigation was to evaluate the mechanical load on 3D printed springs using different coil heights.
