A first helical spring apparatus is located between the first attachment device and the first orthodontic band and is actuable for applying both rotational and linear forces to the first molar tooth. A second helical spring apparatus is located between the second attachment device and the second orthodontic band and is actuable for applying both rotational and linear forces to the second molar tooth.
