PREFABRICATED ELEMENTS FOR APPLICATION IN A SPLINTS SYSTEM FOR CORRECTING MALOCCLUSIONS IN ORTHODONTICS, constituted by a wire with a central part (4) that may have protuberances (8), loops (9) and/or creases (10), and undulated retention areas (5) and (6) or plates (11) and triangles (12) which may come in different shapes and be formed by one, two or four parts joined by a mechanism (7), depending on the type and function of each one; which are built into appliances and have predetermined active or passive effects built into them it and are permanently cemented inside the mouth; these are used in combination with transparent splints (2) which are rigid or semi-rigid and removable or cemented, complete (2a), partial (2b), or individual (2c), and with working platforms (3) that are designed in each case with different shapes and positions, in the working models.
