Objective: Evaluate the stress relaxation of T-loop springs over 12 weeks and evaluate the modification in force system T-loop springs with helices added in areas of higher stress after 48 hours. Materials and Methods: Two research papers were prepared and used for the evaluation of aims presented. Results: The time influenced the measured angles (p<.001), and the group immediate was different from the other groups evaluated. There were differences between the angles (p<.001), as each corresponds to a region of the spring. Time was a significant interaction with the deflection angles of the springs (p<.001). The evaluation of system force of T-loop springs with helix was observed that there was an interaction between time and groups for moment (p<.001), force (p=.018) and M/F (p<.047), and both interacted in the deactivation of the springs in moment (p<.001) and M/F (p=.006) but not in force (p=0.14). The helix moments decreased (p<.001), and forces (p<.001) by increasing the M/F (p<.001) and interacted in the deactivation of the springs, reducing the proportion of load-deflection moment (p<.001) and force (p<.001) produced by changing the M/F (p<.009). Conclusion: T-loop springs showed stress relaxation and two areas were identified with greater deformation, one in bends between the vertical and horizontal segments (angles 5 and 6) and another in bends made in the other horizontal segment (angle 8 and 9). The addition of helix reduced horizontal force ratio and load-deflection of the springs, the moment produced as well as loss of time for deactivation were also reduced, the M/F ratio increased and became more stable during the deactivation the spring.
