Abstract
Utility arches, originally designed by Ricketts as a part of his Bioprogressive therapy, are one of the most versatile auxiliary
arch wires. They can be used for a wide variety of orthodontic tooth movements including protraction, retraction, intrusion
and to hold teeth passively. They are also called as 2 x 4 appliances and can be used in both permanent and mixed
dentitions. Their construction and applications are well illustrated with case reports.
