After surgical exposure, the base is bonded to the tooth or bone surface. The rotating gold chain allows the orthodontist to apply controlled traction from any direction using ligature wire or auxiliary attachments, without inducing torsion or stress at the attachment point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reduces mechanical failure, improves force accuracy, and simplifies adjustments over the course of treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSystem Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Swivel 360 unit integrates a ¾-inch 14K gold chain into a 4 mm stainless-steel base using precision, solder-free construction.
