The force systems produced by orthodontic appliances, consisting of both forces and moments, displace teeth in a manner that is both predictable and controllable. By varying the ratio of moment to force applied to teeth, the type of tooth movement experienced can be regulated by the orthodontist. Orthodontic appliances obey the laws of physics and can be activated to generate the desired force systems to achieve predetermined treatment goals for individual patients. Likewise, any orthodontic appliance can be analyzed to define the mechanical force systems it produces. Understanding the biomechanical principles underlying orthodontic appliance activations is essential for executing efficient and successful orthodontic treatment. INTRODUCTION www.indiandentalacademy.com Mechanics is the discipline that describes the effects of forces on bodies Biomechanics refers to the science of mechanics in relation to biologic system. www.indiandentalacademy.com MECHANICAL CONCEPTS IN ORTHODONTICS An understanding of several fundamental mechanical concept is necessary to understand clinical relevance of biomechanics in orthodontics. www.indiandentalacademy.com Scalar: When a physical property ( Weight, temperature ,force) has only magnitude , its called a scalar quantity. ( E.g.. A force of different magnitude such as 20gm,50gm etc) Vector: When a physical property has both magnitude and direction its called a vector quantity. (E.g.. A force vector characterized by magnitude, line of action, point of origin and sense) www.indiandentalacademy.com Force Force is equal to mass times acceleration F= ma Forces are actions applied to bodies www.indiandentalacademy.com RESULTANTS AND COMPONENTS OF ORTHODONTIC FORCE SYSTEMS
Teeth are often acted upon by more than one force. Since the movement of a tooth (or any object) is determined by the net effect of all forces on it, it is necessary to combine applied forces to determine a single net force, or resultant. At other times there may be a force on a tooth that we wish to break up into components. For example, a cervical headgear to maxillary molars will move the molars in both the occlusal and distal directions. It may be useful to resolve the headgear force into the components that are parallel and perpendicular to the occlusal plane, in order to determine the magnitude of force in each of these directions.

www.indiandentalacademy.com The resultant of 2 force with different point of application can be determined by extending the line of action to construct a common point of application www.indiandentalacademy.com Center of mass Each body has a point on its mass , which behaves as if the whole mass is concentrated at that single point. We call it the center of mass in a gravity free environment. Center of gravity The same is called the centre of gravity in an environment when gravity is present. www.indiandentalacademy.com Center of resistance Center of mass of a free body is the point through which an applied force must pass to move it linearly without any rotation. This center of mass is the free objects Balance Point
The center of resistance is the equivalent balance point of a restrained body. Center of resistance varies depending up on the - Root length & morphology - Number of roots - Level of alveolar bone support

Clinical implication: They suggest that little difference in the moment/force ratio (M/F) is required to translate a two- or four-teeth unit. However, for the retraction of a six-teeth segment, the M/F ratio of a retraction spring should be calibrated for a higher value to facilitate translation.
AJO DO 91(5):375-384,1987 www.indiandentalacademy.com www.indiandentalacademy.com Center of resistance during anterior teeth intrusion
For an anterior segment comprising two central incisors, the center of resistance was located on a projection line parallel to the midsagittal plane on a point situated at the distal half of the canines
For an anterior segment that included the four incisors, the center of resistance was situated on a projection line perpendicular to the occlusal plane between the canines and first premolars.
For a rigid anterior segment that included the six anterior teeth, the center of resistance was situated on a projection line perpendicular to the occlusal plane distal to the first premolar.
AJO DO 90(3):211-220,1986 www.indiandentalacademy.com The center of resistance was found in different occlusoapical positions, depending on the direction of the force. Thus the location of the center of resistance cannot be considered to be constant, independent of the direction of loading, for a tooth with a given support.
AJO DO 99(4):337-345,1991
A force always acts to displace the center of resistance in the direction the force is acting (support being the same). AJO DO 1993 May (428 - 438) www.indiandentalacademy.com JCO28(9):539-546,1994 www.indiandentalacademy.com JCO28(9):539-546,1994 www.indiandentalacademy.com
If a model of a tooth is attached to a piece of paper by a pin, the point with the pin in it cannot move, and this point becomes the center of rotation about which the tooth can spin. If the pin is placed at the incisal edge, only movement of the root is possible if it is placed at the root apex, movement is limited to crown tipping. In each case, the center of rotation is determined by the position of the pin. Thus, in two dimensional figures, the center of rotation may be defined as a point about which a body appears to have rotated, as determined from its initial and final positions.
Center of rotation www.indiandentalacademy.com The more nearly translational the movement, the farther apically the center of rotation would be located. In the extreme case, with perfect translation, the center of rotation can be defined as being an infinite distance away. AJO DO 85(4):294-307,1984 A simple method for determining a center of rotation is to take any two points on the tooth and connect the before and after positions of each point with a line. The intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of these lines is the center of rotation www.indiandentalacademy.com
Burstone stated in his simple formula:
y (M/F) = 0.068 h 2 where y = Distance from center of resistance to center of rotation
M/F = Distance from center of resistance to point of force application
h = Root length
Thus, in this special case of a two-dimensional parabolic root, 0.068 is a constant for a given root length.

www.indiandentalacademy.com Two important parameters 2 and , which measure the resistance of the tooth to tipping, were found to be constants for loading in one plane of space, independent of the position of occlusoapical force. Using experimental 2 or values, one can calculate the location of the center of rotation of the tooth for a given force position or, conversely, when a center of rotation is desired, the position of the force (or the equivalent moment/force ratio at the bracket) can be calculated. Because the values differed as the load was changed from one plane to another through the long axis of the tooth, it was shown that different centers of rotation would be produced for a given force location if the direction of loading was changed. The center of rotation located more apically to the center of resistance with forces directed labiopalatally than mesiodistally. AJO DO 99(4):337-345,1991 www.indiandentalacademy.com AJO DO 99(4):337-345,1991 More is the value of 2 & more is the resistance to tipping or rotation www.indiandentalacademy.com Sign Conventions
A universal sign convention is available for forces & moments in dentistry & orthodontics. Forces are positive when they are in : -Anterior direction -Lateral direction -Mesial direction -Buccal direction -Extrusive forces Moments are positive when they move the crown in a mesial, buccal or labial direction. www.indiandentalacademy.com www.indiandentalacademy.com Moment of the force :- It is the tendency of a force to produce rotation. The force is not acting through the Cres It is determined by multiplying the magnitude of force by the perpendicular distance of the line of action to the center of resistance. Unit Newton . mm ( Gm. mm) www.indiandentalacademy.com The direction of moment of force can be determined by continuing the line of action around the Cres
www.indiandentalacademy.com Couple
A couple consists of two forces of equal magnitude, with parallel but noncolinear lines of action and opposite senses. The magnitude of a couple is calculated by multiplying the magnitude of forces by the distance between them Unit :- Newton . mm (Gm . mm) 1000gm.mm www.indiandentalacademy.com Moment of a couple The tendency of a couple to produce pure rotation around the Cres
Direction of rotation is determined by following the direction of either force around the Cres to the origin of opposite force.
Cres www.indiandentalacademy.com Irrespective of where on a rigid object a couple is applied; the external effect is the same.
50gm 50gm -500gm.mm 1500gm.mm 50gm 50g 1000gm.mm www.indiandentalacademy.com The moment of force is always relative to a point of reference. The moment of a force will be low relative to a point close to the line of action and high for a point with a large perpendicular distance to the line of action.
A couple is no more than a particular configuration of forces which have an inherent moment. This moment of couple is not relative to any point.
www.indiandentalacademy.com In orthodontics depending up on the plane in which the couple is acting they are called as Torque- 3 rd order Rotation-1 st order Tipping- 2 nd order www.indiandentalacademy.com Torque Torque is the common synonym of moments
Moments of forces moments of couples
www.indiandentalacademy.com Systems Equivalent force A useful method for predicting the type of tooth movement that will occur with the appliance activation is to determine the equivalent force system at tooths center of resistance. Its done in three steps First- Forces are replaced at the Cres maintaining its magnitude and direction Second- The moment of force is also placed at the Cres. Third- Applied moment ( moment of couple in bracket wire combination) is also placed at Cres.
www.indiandentalacademy.com MF F MC F MC-MF www.indiandentalacademy.com Moment to force ratio & types of tooth movement The type of movement exhibited by a tooth is determined by the ratio between the magnitude of the couple (M) and the force (F) applied at the bracket. The ratio of the two has units of millimeters (this represents the distance away from the bracket that a single force will produce the same effect).

Second Law :The Law Of Acceleration The change in motion is proportional to the motive force impressed & is made in the direction of straight line in which the force is impressed.
Third Law :The Law Of Action & Reaction To every action there is always opposing & equal reaction.
When a wire is deflected or activated in order to insert it into poorly aligned brackets the 1 st & 3 rd laws are apparent. www.indiandentalacademy.com Static Equilibrium It is a valuable application of Newtons Laws of motion to the analysis of the force system delivered by an orthodontic appliance. Static Equilibrium implies that, at any point within a body , the sum of forces & moments acting on a body is zero; i.e., if no net force or moments are acting on the body the body remains at rest (static). The analysis of equilibrium can be stated in equation form Horizontal forces = 0 Vertical forces = 0 Transverse forces = 0 AND Moments ( Horizontal axis ) = 0 Moments ( Vertical axis )= 0 Moments ( Transverse axis ) = 0 www.indiandentalacademy.com Intrusion arch www.indiandentalacademy.com Centered V bend AJO DO 98(4):333-339 1990 www.indiandentalacademy.com AJO DO 98(4):333-339 1990 Off Centered V Bend www.indiandentalacademy.com It is easy to understand that the forces generated in this type of situation are stronger than those generated in an off- center V bend. Indeed, for a given angle between the wire and the brackets, the two moments, C1 and C2, add up in the step bend, yielding a stronger reactional moment, as well as stronger vertical forces.

Various mechanics can often be used to achieve the tooth movements desired for orthodontic treatments. It is important however to understand the mechanics involved and to recognize when the appliance will not achieve adequate results or may result in undesirable side effects. This can help us to prevent prolonged overall treatment time and/or compromise in the final orthodontic outcome. The ultimate result will be a happy post treatment patient , with a beautiful smile leaving your clinic. CONCLUSION www.indiandentalacademy.com REFFERENCES 1.
