Requirements of an Orthodontic Appliance
(According to Angle)

Appliance Description
12
◈ Bracket slots were placed in the
horizontal plane instead of vertical.
◈ Archwire held in position by brass
ligature, later by delicate SS ligature.
◈ Brackets consisted of a rectangular box
with 3 walls within the bracket.
◈ Bracket dimention – 0.022 x 0.028 inch.
13
Evolution of edgewise brackets
Original bracket - soft gold with .022 x .028
inch slot
Readily deformed by occlusal forces and by
tying ligature
Main advantage
- ability to effect tooth rotations without
using auxiliaries
Disadvantages:
increased width decreases the
inter bracket span, thus
decreasing the resiliency
4) Lewis bracket
Developed by Lewis in 1950.
8) Broussard bracket
◈ Designed by Garford Broussard for use
in the Broussard technique
◈ Addition of a 0.0185 x 0.046 inch
vertical slot to accept a doubled 0.018
inch auxillary wire
Evolution of edgewise buccal tube

Tweed Philosophy
Treatment in 2 stage
1. Preparation of a stable form of anchorage
in the lower arch, and elimination of
stationary anchorage in the upper arch.
2. Distal movement of the anterior segment
en-masse

Classification of anchorage preparation
First degree -minimal anchorage preparation,
-applicable to all malocclusion with ANB =0
to 4 ,
-total discrepancy does not exceed 10 mm,
-terminal molars must be uprighted & or
maintained in an upright position to
prevent their being elongated when cl. II
intermaxillary force is used .
Second degree -for malocclusions with ANB more than
0° to 4°
-facial esthetics requires to move point
B anteriorly & point A posteriorly i,e
cl. II cases
-usually accompanied by type A, type A
subdiv.,type B & type B subdiv.
-degree of distal tipping of mandibular
molars more severe than first degree
anch.prep. –they should be tipped so
that their distal marginal ridges are at
gum level
Third degree -severe discrepancy cases –14-20mm or
more
-ANB does not exceed 5°
-generally cl.I bimaxillary cases
-sliding jigs are necessary
-2nd ,1st molars & 2nd premolar must be
tipped to such an extent that the distal
marginal ridges are below the gum level
also called total anchorage preparation

Brackets and Tubes
42
◈ All bands have lingual cleats (to correct
and control rotations)
◈ Brackets and Tubes placed at right angles
to the long axis of the tooth.
◈ No tip, torque or variation in thickness are
present in the bracket

Sequential Mandibular Anchorage
Preparation
◈ Allows mandibular anchorage to be
prepared quickly and easily by tipping
only two teeth at a time to their anchorage
prepared position
◈ This system uses high-pull headgear
58
Sequential Mandibular Anchorage
Preparation
◈ Uses 10 teeth as ‘anchorage units’ to tip
two teeth.
◈ Referred to as the Merrifield “10-2”
system
59
Sequential Mandibular Anchorage
Preparation
◈ Subsequently a compensating bend is
placed mesial to the 2nd molar to maintain
its tip while the 1st molar is tipped to an
anchorage prepare position.
◈ Once the 1st molar is tipped, a
compensation bend is placed mesial to it
to maintain its tip and the 2nd premolar is
tipped distally to its anchorage prepared
position.

Standard Edgewise Technique
5 concepts compose the treatment philosophy
i. Sequential appliance placement
ii. Sequential and/or individual tooth movement
iii. Sequential mandibular anchorage preparation
iv. Directional forces including control of vertical
dimension to enhance mandibular response
v. Proper timing of treatment

Denture Preparation
◈ Objectives
1. Levelling
2. Individual tooth movement and
rotation correction
3. Retraction of maxillary and
mandibular canines
4. Preparation of the terminal molars for
stress resistance
70
Initial archwires consist of a 0.017- × 0.022-inch resilient maxillary archwire
and a 0.018- × 0.025-inch resilient mandibular archwire.
71
The canines are retracted with a J-hook headgear

Sequential Mandibular Anchorage
Preparation
◈ 10-2 Anchorage System
79
◈ 0.019- × 0.025-inch archwire with the
loop stops bent flush against the second
molar tubes.
◈ First and third-order bends are ideal.
◈ Gingival hooks for high-pull J-hook
headgear are soldered distal to the central
incisors.
80
◈ A 10º distal tip is placed 1mm mesial to
the first molar brackets.
81
◈ The third and final step of sequential
mandibular anchorage preparation is to
place a 5-degree distal tip 1 mm mesial to
the second premolar brackets.
◈ A compensating bend is placed mesial to
the first molars to maintain them in their
anchorage prepared position
82
83
◈ Following anchorage preparation, a
mandibular 0.0215 × 0.028 inch
stabilizing archwire is fabricated.
◈ Ideal 1st, 2nd and 3rd-order bends are
incorporated into the archwire.
◈ A loop stop is placed 0.5 mm short of the
molar tubes
◈ Gingival spurs are soldered distal to the
mandibular lateral incisors.
84
◈ A 0.020- × 0.025-inch maxillary archwire
with 7.5-mm closed helical bulbous loops
bent flush against the second molar tubes
is fabricated.
◈ A gingival spur is attached to the archwire
immediately distal to the maxillary second
premolar bracket.
◈ Gingival high-pull headgear hooks are
soldered distal to the central incisors.
85
◈ Class II “lay on” hooks with a gingival
extension for anterior vertical elastics are
soldered distal to the lateral incisors.
◈ The closed helical bulbous loops are
opened 1 mm on each side such that the
anterior segment of the archwire will be 1
millimeter labial to the maxillary incisor
brackets.
86
Class II Correction
87
◈ Eight-ounce Class II elastics are worn
from the hooks on the mandibular second
molar tubes to the Class II hooks on the
maxillary archwire. Anterior vertical
elastics are worn from the spurs on the
mandibular archwire to the gingival
extension hooks on the maxillary
archwire.
◈ The highpull headgear is worn on the
maxillary headgear hooks
88
◈ This force system is used for about 1
month to sequentially move the maxillary
second molars distally.
89
2nd Molars in Class I relation
90
◈ A closed coil spring is wound distal to the
second premolar spur and compressed
between the spur and the first molar
bracket. (The coil spring length should be
1.5 times the space between the second
premolar and the first molar brackets.)
◈ An elastic chain is stretched from the
second molar to the distal bracket of the
first molar.
91
92
93
A 0.020- × 0.025-inch maxillary closing loop archwire is used
to close the maxillary anterior space.
94
3. Denture Completion
95
96
◈ Finishing mandibular and maxillary
0.0215×0.028-inch resilient archwires are
used.
◈ The forces used during denture
completion are based on a careful study of
the arrangement of each tooth in each
arch.
◈ The necessary first-, second-, and third-
order adjustments are made in each
archwire as needed
97
At the end of the denture completion stage of treatment,
the following characteristics should be readily observed
100
◈ When all appliances are removed and the
retainers are placed, a most crucial
“recovery” phase occurs.
