Orthodontic Crimpable Cross Tubes (also known as piggyback tubes). These are small, precision-engineered metal components that are crimped onto an existing orthodontic archwire to facilitate the attachment of auxiliary appliances
Cross tubes are designed with two perpendicular channels. One side is crimped onto the main archwire, while the other side provides a secure slot (typically 0.022 inches) for secondary wires or attachments. [1, 2]
Primary Function: They allow for the easy connection of auxiliary and custom attachments, such as piggyback wires, T-loops, or Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs), directly to the main archwire without needing to replace the entire setup.
Design: The “inserted” or cross-shaped structure is compact and streamlined to minimize patient discomfort and irritation during treatment.
Material: Most high-quality cross tubes are manufactured from stainless steel for durability and biocompatibility
