stable results.

Bands were put on all the teeth with a vertical tube into which soldered pin from the archwire was placed .
20

Tubes were square in shape with square arch wires. Ideal arches were discarded. Arches were altered as the teeth moved towards the ideal arch form

21

Advantage-good axial control root movement Disadvantage -limited mesiodistal control - difficult rotation control

- Incredible degree of craftsmanship - Impractical in clinical use - Poor spring qualities

22

Brackets were introduced

vertically positioned rectangular slot. A ribbon arch of 10x20 gold wire - brass pins.

23

Slot were horizontal rectangular wire inserted into it. 022 x .028 Solution to the problems caused by the previous appliance All 3 planes of space.
24

Original angle bracket was made up of a soft gold with .022 x .028 slot. It was .050 wide and was soldered to gold band material .

25

Two edgewise brackets were used on the same tooth. This provide a good rotational control.

26

This was developed by Dr R.Begg 1956

It utilizes the ribbon arch type brackets and was manufactured to accept 016 round wire .
Wire was held in position with the lock pins
27

Bracket design -modified ribbon arch bracket .020 x .045 slot Pins were used to secure the wires

2.

Partly programmed appliance some in built features ,but require some wire bending.

3. Fully programmed applianceguide teeth directly to their positions using unbent wires.

Design shortcomings 1. Bracket base perpendicular to bracket stem. 2. Bracket bases are not contoured. 3. Slots are not angulated

40

4. Bracket stem are of equal faciolingual thickness. 5. Maxillary molar offset is not built in. 6. Bracket sitting techniques are unsatisfactory.

41

45

. Maxillary molar offset is not built in.

46

Bracket sitting techniques are unsatisfactory.

Various authors have their own way of positioning the brackets.

47

Holdaway advocates that the bracket sitting should be altered according to the malocclusion. Tweed recommends sitting brackets in specified number of millimeters from the incisal edge.

According to Jarabak bracket sites for inclination should be determined by the shape of the crown.
48

Saltzman recommends except for the maxillary lateral incisor ,brackets should be located in the middle third of the crown.
Lindquist brackets according to the height of marginal ridges on posteriors.

49

Andrews suitable bracket site has three criteriai.

No interference with either gingiva or with opposing tooth.

ii.

Angulation and inclination - consistant relationship to the plane of each tooths occlusal surface and to the occlusal plane of the arch. . Middle of each bracket site must share the same plane of surface when the teeth in the arch are optimally positioned.
50

iii.

Partly programmed bracketsthese brackets are the one which lack atleast one slot sitting feature because of which it would fail to fully direct each slot to its tooth slot site. 1. Slot inclination . 2. Slot angulation. 3. Slot prominence. 4. Horizontal base contour.

Fully programmed translation bracketsAre used when bodily movement of the teeth is required .
They have all the qualities of the standard brackets plus few other feature .

64

Counterbuccolingual tip- a slot sitting feature for maxillary molar that counteracts buccolingual tip during translation and then overcorrect. Countermesiodistal tip a slot siting feature that counteracts mesial or distal tipping during translation and then overcorrects. Counterrotation a slot siting feature that counteracts rotation during translation and then overcorrects ,

65

In 1958 Reed Holdaway angulated the bracket on the tooth to bring about movement in the mesio-distal direction (angulation).

66

Ivan lee built in the torque in the bracket by cutting the slot at an angle. Joseph R Jarabak was first to combine two features incorporating tip and torque control.

67

The original slot size was 0.022 because the smallest cutting tool available to Angle was in that size. The original appliance was designed for use with gold arch wires which were more flexible. With the use of steel wires in the same slot the forces became more ,so there was a need to use wires of a lesser gauge.

68

If used in the larger slot these wires would have a lot of play. This problem was overcome by the transition from the .022-.018 slot.

69

70

The most important factors in determining the design of the Vari-Simplex Discipline are the size and shape of the teeth, especially the mesiodistal width and curvature

Fully programmed translation brackets-

Are used when bodily movement of the teeth is required . Translation bracket categories 1. Minimum translation brackets requiring a translation of 2 mm or less
75

2. Medium translation brackets requiring a translation of more than 2mm but less than 4 mm 3. Maximum translation brackets -requiring a translation of more than 4 mm.

76

- The Straight-Wire Appliance -17 Years Later - Ronald H. Roth(1987 Sep JCO) The inventory was too big as there were so many translation brackets and he wanted to build in features which reduce the inventory. After appliance removal ,no matter how well treated the patient may be ,the teeth will shift slightly to settle into their final positions.
77

1.

2.

Advocated the application of counter-tip, counter-rotation, counter-torque, and leveling of the curve of Spee to the SWA in every possible direction to allow the teeth to relapse back into their final position.
Place the teeth in slightly overcorrected positions from which they would relapse back into their ideal position.
78

The amount of overcorrection will never be expressed intraorally for the following reasons-

1. There is an angle of deflection between the bracket slot and the archwire.(play)
79

2. Force values drop so low that they are below the values needed to move the teeth, even though full bracket expression has not been obtained. 3. The teeth tend to relapse.

80

It is a modification of preadjusted system introduced by Viazis.

The bracket has a wide horizontal member but has a single width slot. The bracket prescriptions were designed to overcorrect malocclusion and to make it possible to work with the largest possible wires from the start of the treatment .
81

Rationale behind the bracket design isThe archwire between a narrow single bracket will have less stiffness and greater flexibility and so a larger wire can be used right from the beginning . Maximum potential of any archwire is achieved when the largest possible wire is used.
82

1.

The bracket is designed to fulfill following requirementsConformity to the crown anatomy and gingival outline.

83

2.

Ease of use- Ease in positioning due to the bracket design. Tip can be oriented to the gingival contour.

84

3. Minimum friction - Slot is elevated from the horizontal member. Area of contact bw the wire and the slot is reduced.

85

4. Tip control -horizontal component has a twin bracket like effect -side elbows

86

The bracket has the skeleton framework of a twin bracket The slot of the bracket that is located in the center of the framework is of a single width.

87

Rationale -Twin bracket offered better rotational control which the single bracket could not match until the rotational wings were added .

-Increased inter bracket span.

-Good rotational control.

88

developed by Akira Kameda He took beggs weak points and modified it for stable and better finish

CO-AX wire is used in conjunction with main archwires, locking the two wires with Safety T pins and a single wire with 90 T pin this will prevent teeth from tipping mesiodistally, but allow teeth to tip more or less labiolingually by taking advantage of round wire.

Introduced by Schudy 1990 Design was based on computer modeling

92

Large outer slot 0.040for twin brackets and 0.030for single brackets. Smaller inner slot-0.018/ 0.016

93

The larger outer slot allows maximum arch wire flexibility in the initial phases of the treatment .

The 016X022 archwire engaged in the outer slot for initial corrections will have a lot of freedom.
The smaller inner slot accepts small rectangular wires for maximum control in the later stages of the treatment .
94

The design has not become very popular probably because of weakness of the bracket arising from the larger slot cut in the conventional material.
