Figure 24. Use of short hook during retraction of the entire arch with 350g/side force stemming from a NiTi spring connected from the mini-implant to the short hook attached to the archwire. The force passes under the Cr; which means the anterior teeth are likely to rotate clockwise (curved arrow), losing torque and generating a vertical extrusion force upon the incisors.
