no No occlusal adjustment to the teeth will most likely be needed also. A Quad Helix (or quadhelix) is an orthodontic appliance for the upper teeth that is cemented in the mouth. It is attached to the molars by 2 bands and has four active helix springs that widen the arch of the mouth to make room for crowded teeth, or correct a posterior cross-bite, where lower teeth are buccal (outer) than upper teeth. A variety of this appliance is inserted into attachments that are welded to the bands. In this way the orthodontist can adjust the appliance without removing the bands.

How does collagen helix differs from alpha helix?

A collagen helix is less compact (because it goes into triple helices), and it is a left-handed helix. An alpha helix is more compact and hence requires more rotation of bonds to form (hence proline is not very common...has an imidazole ring). It is a right-handed helix, and goes into double helices instead.


What are the differences between a right-handed alpha helix and a left-handed alpha helix in protein structures?

The main difference between a right-handed alpha helix and a left-handed alpha helix in protein structures is the direction in which the helix twists. In a right-handed alpha helix, the helix twists in a clockwise direction, while in a left-handed alpha helix, the helix twists in a counterclockwise direction. This difference in twisting direction affects the overall shape and stability of the protein structure.
