many post treated models had
obvious inadequacies, despite the
acceptable molar relationships as
described by Angle.

20. SOME IMPORTANT TERMINOLOGIES
1] ANDREWâS PLANE
The surface or plane on which the mid transverse
plane of every crown in an arch will fall when teeth
are optimally positioned.
20
STRAIGHT WIRE: The concept and appliance by Lawrence F Andrews. 1989
Six keys to optimal occlusionâŠ
21. 2] CLINICAL CROWN
The amount of crown that can be seen intraorally
or with a study cast
21
STRAIGHT WIRE: The concept and appliance by Lawrence F Andrews. 1989
Six keys to optimal occlusionâŠ
22. 3] FACIAL AXIS OF CLINICAL CROWN (FACC)
For all the teeth except molars, the most prominent
portion of the central lobe on the facial surface of
each crown
For molars, buccal groove that separates the 2 large
facial cusps.
22
STRAIGHT WIRE: The concept and appliance by Lawrence F Andrews. 1989
Six keys to optimal occlusionâŠ
23. 4] FACIAL AXIS POINT (FA POINT)
The point on the facial axis that separates the
gingival half of the clinical crown from the
occlusal half
23
STRAIGHT WIRE: The concept and appliance by Lawrence F Andrews. 1989
Six keys to optimal occlusionâŠ
24. âą TOOTH CLASS
â A group of teeth having similar shape and
function
â E.g. incisors, canines, premolars, molars
âą TOOTH TYPE
â Subordinate category within a class of teeth
â E.g. first mandibular premolars, second
mandibular premolars
24
STRAIGHT WIRE: The concept and appliance by Lawrence F Andrews. 1989
Six keys to optimal occlusionâŠ
25. Key I: Interarch Relationships
1) As explained by Angle, the mesiobuccal cusp of
permanent maxillary first molar occludes in the
groove between mesial and middle buccal cusps of
the permanent mandibular first molar
2) The distal marginal ridge of the maxillary first
molar occludes with the mesial marginal ridge of the
mandibular second molar
25
*Lawrence Andrews, The six keys to optimal occlusion. AJODO 1972(296-309)
Six keys to optimal occlusionâŠ
26. 3) The mesiolingual cusp of maxillary first molar
occludes in the central fossa of the mandibular first
molar
4) The buccal cusps of the premolars have a cusp
embrasure relationship with the mandibular
premolars
5) The lingual cusps of maxillary premolars have a
cusp-fossa relationship with the mandibular
premolars
26
*Lawrence Andrews, The six keys to optimal occlusion. AJODO 1972(296-309)
Six keys to optimal occlusionâŠ
27. 6)The maxillary canine has a cusp-embrasure
relationship with the mandibular canine and first
premolar. The tip of its cusp is slightly mesial to the
embrasure
7) The maxillary incisors overlap the mandibular
incisors, and the midlines of the arches match

*Lawrence Andrews, The six keys to optimal occlusion. AJODO 1972(296-309)
Six keys to optimal occlusionâŠ
28. Key II: Crown Angulation
âą All crowns in the sample
essentially have a âpositive
angulationsâ that is, gingival
portion is distal to incisal
portion of crown
âą All crowns of each tooth type
are similar in amount of
angulations
29
*Lawrence Andrews, The six keys to optimal occlusion. AJODO 1972(296-309)
Six keys to optimal occlusionâŠ
29. Key III: Crown Inclination
âą Labiolingual or Buccolingual
inclination
âą Maxillary incisors â positive
âą Progressively negative from
maxillary canines to second
molars
âą Progressive negative inclination
for mandibular incisors to
second molars
30
*Lawrence Andrews, The six keys to optimal occlusion. AJODO 1972(296-309)
Six keys to optimal occlusionâŠ
30. Clinical implication of Key II and III :
âą The wagon wheel effect:
â For every 4 degrees of
lingual crown torque
there is 1 degree of
mesial convergence of
the gingival portion of
central and lateral
crowns, that makes a
ratio of 4:1
31
*Lawrence Andrews, The six keys to optimal occlusion. AJODO 1972(296-309)

31. âą The teeth should be free of
undesirable rotations
âą Example of problem: rotated
molars would occupy more
space
Key IV: Rotations
32
*Lawrence Andrews, The six keys to optimal occlusion. AJODO 1972(296-309)

32. âą The contact points should be tight (no spaces)
âą Exceptions: genuine toot-size discrepancies
Key V: Tight Contacts
33
*Lawrence Andrews, The six keys to optimal occlusion. AJODO 1972(296-309)
Six keys to optimal occlusionâŠ
33. âą The planes of occlusion ranged from flat to slight
curve of Spee (concave)
âą Andrew believed that a flat plane should be the
treatment goal as a form of overtreatment since
there is a natural tendency for the curve of Spee to
deepen with time.
Key VI: Occlusal Plane

35. âą After determining the 6 keys of occlusions
Andrew made certain measurements in the non
orthodontic models which helped in the
development of the first fully programmed
appliance
STRAIGHT WIRE: The concept and appliance by Lawrence F Andrews. 1989
36
36. âą The measurements made were:-
â Bracket area
â Vertical contour
â Angulation
â Inclination
â Maxillary molar offset
â Horizontal contour
â Facial prominence
â Curve of spee

STRAIGHT WIRE: The concept and appliance by Lawrence F Andrews. 1989
44
Measurements by AndrewsâŠ
46. 4) No offset was needed for mandibular molar
because the middle & mesiobuccal cusps are equal in
prominence.
5) The curve of Spee ranged from flat to 2.5 mm
deep
47
STRAIGHT WIRE: The concept and appliance by Lawrence F Andrews. 1989
Measurements by AndrewsâŠ
47. âą This study revealed consistencies in the position,
morphology & relative facial prominence for the
crown of each tooth type with an arch except for
incisor inclination.
âą The differences in the incisor inclination were
attributed to interjaw disharmony.
âą Thus special considerations must be given in the
bracket design to correlate the inclination of
incisors with interjaw relationship.
48
STRAIGHT WIRE: The concept and appliance by Lawrence F Andrews. 1989
Measurements by AndrewsâŠ
49. âą After making the measurements, Andrew
compared the 120 nonÂorthodontic models with
the treated 1150 models.
â That is best in nature vs best in treatment
âą Comparison were made particularly in relation to
the 6 keys of optimal occlusion: Â
50
STRAIGHT WIRE: The concept and appliance by Lawrence F Andrews. 1989
Comparison between study models and
treated castsâŠ
50. KEY I Â InterÂarch relationship:Â
âą In 80% of the treated models, distal marginal ridge
of maxillary I molar did not occlude with mesial
marginal ridge of mandibular II molar.
âą Premolars and canines did not have cuspÂ
embrasure relationship.
51
STRAIGHT WIRE: The concept and appliance by Lawrence F Andrews. 1989
Comparison between study models and
treated castsâŠ
51. KEY II Â Angulation:Â
âą In 91 % of the treated models, crowns had one or
more teeth whose angulation differed from those
of optimal sample.
52
KEY III Â Inclination:Â
Inter incisal FACC â
⹠In optimal more than 180 degrees in 78%
⹠In treated  Less than 180 degrees in 81.5%
STRAIGHT WIRE: The concept and appliance by Lawrence F Andrews. 1989
Comparison between study models and
treated castsâŠ
52. KEY IV Â Rotation:Â
Rotations were evident in 67% of post treated cases.
KEY V Â Tight contacts:Â
Spaces were seen in 43% of post treatment casts.
KEY VI Â Curve of Spee:Â
More than 2.5 mm in 56% of post treatment casts.
53
STRAIGHT WIRE: The concept and appliance by Lawrence F Andrews. 1989
Comparison between study models and
treated castsâŠ
53. âą These evidence showed that only few post
treatment results met the six key standards.
âą So a quarter century of research done by Andrew,
devoted to naturally optimal & treated occlusions
has yielded not only the six keys, but also several
principles fundamental to the concept of fully
programmed appliance.
54
STRAIGHT WIRE: The concept and appliance by Lawrence F Andrews. 1989
Comparison between study models and
treated castsâŠ
54. Summary of principles
âą Each normal tooth type is similar in shape from
one individual to another.
âą The size of normal crowns within a dentition has
no effect on their optimal angulation, inclination
or prominence of their facial surface.
âą Most individuals have normal teeth regardless of
whether their occlusion is flawed or optimal.
55
STRAIGHT WIRE: The concept and appliance by Lawrence F Andrews. 1989
Comparison between study models and
treated castsâŠ
55. âą Jaws must be normal & correctly related to permit
the teeth to be correctly positioned & related.
âą Dentitions with normal teeth and in jaws that are
or can be correctly related can be brought to
optimal occlusal standards.
56
STRAIGHT WIRE: The concept and appliance by Lawrence F Andrews. 1989
Comparison between study models and
treated castsâŠ
57. âą The edgewise appliance designed by Angle is
"Non programmed" because of the bilaterally
symmetric design.
âą If located on the FA point & the FACC & used
with unbent archwire, the brackets would cause
the Inclination of the facial plane of each crown to
be at 90 degrees to occlusal plane,
âą The occlusogingival positions of each crown to be
irregular,
âą All crowns to have equal facial prominence &
angulation of the FACC of each crown to be at 90
degree to the occlusal plane.
58
Need for a new applianceâŠ
58. The major shortcomings of edgewise
appliance are:Â
1. Bracket bases are perpendicular to bracket stem
2. Bracket bases are not contoured occlusogingivally
3. Slots are not angulated
4. Bracket stems are of equal faciolingual thickness
5. Maxillary molar offset not built in
6. Bracket siting techniques are unsatisfactory

2. The upper and lower incisors of Asian teeth
are more proclined, in relation to basal bone
3. The interincisal angle is significantly less for

Banded molars, heavy labial archwires with threaded nuts for expansion, individual teeth tied to this expansion arch, deliver only heavy interrupted force, only tipping movements possible
1] placed bands on other teeth as well, vertical tubes on each tooth into which a vertical pin frm smaller archwire, repositioning individual pin at each appointment, great craftsmenship rqud
2] modified tube on each tooth to provide a rectangular slot behind the tube. 10x20 gold wire placed into vertical slot held with pins. Small archwire , good spring qualities, efficient in aligning malposed teeth, immediate success. But poor control of root position, too resilient to generate root torque
3] edgewise - Was a soft gold bracket with 0.022x0.028 slot that was readily deformed by the forces of occlusion and by tying ligature wires to the bracket
Width 0.050 inch. Because of narrow width involved, the bracket itself was ineffective for tooth rotation
1] bands on I molars and combinatn of heavy lingual and labial archwirese to which finger springs were soldered to move individual teeth
2] bands on incisors and molars, 10 mil steel archwires for aligning, long tubes from molars to canines to protect these delicate wires,
3] Lewis brackets - This was the next development for bringing about efficient tooth rotation.
He soldered auxiliary rotation arm that abutted against the bracket itself and thus offered a lever arm to deflect archwire and rotate the teeth.
4] Joining together of two edgewise brackets âSIAMESE TWIN BRACKETâ
The space between two brackets was approx 0.050
5] Stiener bracket - incorporated flexible rotational arms and therefore did not rely entirely on the resiliency of the archwire for tooth rotation
1] also suggested angulating posterior brackets to produced desired tooth movements
2] artistic bends would not be needed if placement of brackets were correct
3] to eliminate need for adding torque to anterior portion of upper arch wire. He believed other teeth were too variable to add torque
5] incorporated second and third order mechanics that is tip and torque called building treatment into appliance
6] SWA available commercially
7] also introduced the concept of mandible in gnathologic position
8] vari â variety of bracket types used, simplex â KISS principle, discipline â to reflect the idea that orthodontist must be knowledgeable in edgewise mechanics and must play an active role in the application of the appliance to the individual patients
Slot machines â orients the archwire slot of the bracket relative to facial surface of each tooth on the model. Accomplished by holding the archwire slot stationary while manipulating each tooth to any tip, torque angle, rotation angle, and height thru use of templates and a rotation guide
ELAN AND ORTHOS SYSTEM â 2 appliance system that represents the first time modern CAD/CAM technology applied to human anatomy and design in orthodontic field
The concept that the edgewise appliance cud be fully programmed appliance evolved from a series of five studies by Andrews
Records of posttreatment occlusion did not yield consistent and adequate data required for firm confirmation
Traditional guidelines to indirectly asses occlusion was individually inadequate and collectively incomplete. If one knew what constituted right, he could directly, consistently and methodically identify what was wrong
Collected from local orthodontists, dentists and major university
Facial axes on the posterior crowns were marked so that crown angulation can be easily assessed. Midpoint of each clinical crown was also marked
Here it means amount visible in late mixed dentitions or adults dentitions with gingiva that is not recessed.
Orbans described clinical crown as anatomical crown height minus 1.8 mm. anatomic crown = incisal tip to CEJ
Here it means amount visible in late mixed dentitions or adults dentitions with gingiva that is not recessed.

Here it means amount visible in late mixed dentitions or adults dentitions with gingiva that is not recessed.
Orbans described clinical crown as anatomical crown height minus 1.8 mm. anatomic crown = incisal tip to CEJ
Interarch relationships and crown angulations are best judged from buccal perspective
Crown inclination for posterior teeth â mesiobuccal perspective
Posterior occlusion â first from buccal then from mesiobuccal
All these provides a set of standards against which occlusal deviations can be identified
Crown angulation:The angle formed by the facial axis of the clinical crown and a line perpendicular to the occlusal plane
The degree of Crown tip:The angle formed by the long axis of the crown and a line perpendicular to the occlusal plane
Positive â occlusal portion of FACC is mesial to gingival portion,or the gingival portion is distal to incisal portion
Angle formed by aline which bears 90 degrees to the occlusal plane and a line that is tangent to the bracket site
Molar inclinations are more negative because they are measured from the groove instead of from prominent facial ridge as that in canines and premolars
If archwire is lingually torques 20 degrees in central incisor region there would be a resultant -5 degrees mesial convergence of each central and lateral incisor
Curve of spee deepens with time as the mandibular growth continues downward and forward faster and sometimes longer than upper jawand lower teeth are locked by upper teeth and lips, which are force back and up causing crowding and curve od spee deepening
Ht and width of potential bracket area on each tooth type was measured using booleys guage. Smallest crowns of each normal tooth type determined the ht and Mesiodistal bracket base limits
Vertical contour ascertained by superimposing a series of arcs from circle templates. Info used to deisgn the vertical anatomy of each bracket base
Using arc shaped plastic template and protractor. Info used to determine how much the slots need to be angled within each bracket
When incorporated in bracket will reduce the need for third order bends
5. Angle between a straight section of wire to embrasure line is offset angle
6. Established horizontal contour of bracket base
7. Distance between embrasure line to crowns most prominent point . Helped in designing bracket prominence
8.
Whereas in the non orthodontic models, that relationship was optimal.
If angulation or inclination varies more than +/_ 2 degrees from the optimal for that tooth type it is considered incorrect
If a line connecting the contact points of a crown varies more than 2 degrees from parallel to a line representing the arch form, then tooth is rotated.
Spaces except for missing tooth or tooth size discrepancy, can cause incorrect maxi incisor angulation, inclination, or Mesiodistal and faciolingual position of a tooth.
Curve of spee is incorrect if less than 0 or more than 2.5mm
The base of the non-programmed bracket is perpendicular to the stem.
Dotted lines represents the required ideal position.
Occlusogingivally the bracket is flat but the facial surface of a crown is curved.
There is an uncertainity as to which portion of the base the bracket will end up toching the crown once it is set
Only a part of the bracket will be touching the crown.
The dotted line indicates the optimal tooth position required.
. Dotted line indicates the ideal requirement
First order offset bends will have to be installed into the archwire to accommodate these differences.
A] angulation landmarks â long axis of crown, long axis of tooth, incisal edges, marginal ridges, contact points : all not reliable
B] inclination landmarks â long axis of crown or tooth, bracket ht from cusp tip

Significant diffrences in Std edgewise mechanics and pea mechanics become to appear in each of these areas as clinical use of appliances increases
This tendency was greater in upper arch than lower, bcoz greater tip in upper anterior brackets
2 significant factors concerning leveling and alignment became apparent after pea had been in use
Teeth actually tipped distally
Problem exaggerated in extraction cases
Lacebacks .010 ligature wire figure 8 motion tied
Used in both extraction and non-extraction cases, more advantageous in extraction cases
Bendbacks minimize forwardmovement of incisors

Bendbacks minimize forwardmovement of incisors
Less wire bending, archwires move more effectively through posterior bracket slots
The computer is first able to locate the precise location for the bracket slot, relative to in-out distance and torque position for each tooth. Once this position is established, it can then build up the 'in-fill' areas to optimize all requirements of the brackets
7 3 -7 -7 -7 2
The original straight wire brackets, according to Roth, were designed to treat only non-extraction cases with ANB less than 5 degrees.
Inventory difficulties of a multiple bracket system, ROTH recommended a single appliance system to manage both extraction and non-extraction cases.
- use of articulators for diagnostic records, for early splint construction, and for the construction of gnathological positioners at the end of treatment .
Led aid in establishing correct condyle position.
his arch form was wider than Andrews' in order to avoid damage to canine tips during treatment and to assist in obtaining good protrusive function.
Reduced anchorage control needs
Reduced tendency of bite deepening
Less demand of patient cooperation
100 less root tip in upper anteriors
120 less root tip in lower anteriors
Torque Not efficiently expressed by PEA due to small area of application, therefore extra torque build in
The biological concept of growth was applied in the manner that would help normalize the physiology and improve the esthetics
Difficulties in technique led him back to 19x25 slot
Communication between investigators led to an agreement
0185 slot for ease of archwire placement and 030 deep slot for the use of overlaid arches and that has remained
Base arch for stabilization and the auxiliary arch or section for rotation of movement
Torque Not efficiently expressed by PEA due to small area of application, therefore extra torque build in
Full torque expression only in full sized rectangular wires

vari â variety of bracket types used, simplex â KISS principle, discipline â to reflect the idea that orthodontist must be knowledgeable in edgewise mechanics and must play an active role in the application of the appliance to the individual patients
Twin and single wing brackets were used concurrently
Twin for teeth with large flat surfaces, upper incisors
Single wing for posteriors . Hence increased interbracket distance allowed use of mutlistrand rectangular wires at beginning of tt
Bioefficient brackets featuring low profile and elongated horizontal dimension that blends in with archwire
Designed for overcorrections
Work with largest possible wires from start of treatment
ââfull-sizedlyââ fill the anterior section as ââedgewise,ââ while the buccal sections are filled as ââribbonâ with 0.022âx0.016â arch wire. It was a standard edgewise appliance system with zero base that is no tip or torque in brackets
form a 0.022x0.016-inch ribbon segment that fills the anterior brackets and two 0.016x0.022-inch edgewise segments that fit into the buccal brackets with a clearance of 0.006 inch.
This is in contrast to currently used bidimensional technique
When a 0.018x0.022-inch SS archwire is engaged, it ââfull-sizedlyââ fits into the anterior brackets, but leaves a clearance of 0.004 inch within the buccal brackets.
Since the wire is undersize in the posterior brackets, it is relatively simple to insert, and the posterior teeth do not require the close 3rd-order monitoring, that would be necessary if the wire filled the bracket slots. If, torque is needed in the canine region, then a 90-degree bend is made mesial to the canine bracket, and another 90-degree bend is made distal to the canine bracket; thus the strip of wire in the canine bracket is now 022X018-inch and full engagement is achieved.
Gianelly used 0.016x0.022-inch SS wire for canine retraction
The vertical slot in the bracket allows for an array of auxiliaries, such as uprighting springs.
Removable T-Pins or hook pins can be placed through vertical slots of any brackets when needed, eliminating integral bracket hooks.
Compliance Spring used with round stainless steel archwire and intermaxillary elastics to provide labial root torque.
B. Compliance Spring reinforces wear of Class II elastics when used with rectangular archwire.
Buccally tipped maxillary posterior teeth and ârolled-inâ mandibular posterior teeth (dashed line = ideal curve of Wilson) lead to increased interferences
B. Placing second premolar brackets on contralateral sides (â3° tip) improves
root paralleling during extraction treatment.
In case of second premolar extraction or slipping posterior anchorage
Most popular preadjusted prescriptions have no angulation in mandibular anterior brackets. This may result in distal tipping of incisor crowns or root convergence, especially if less than full-size archwires are used.
B. Lingual displacement of maxillary canines can result from excessive lingual crown torque in many prescriptions
Photoetched pockets beneath the mesh enhancing bond strength
Optimal offset brackets of premolar provide larger surface area
Difference in anterior torque and tip values required for Asians
The ProTorque prescription is ideally suited for Asian, Black, and Latin-Hispanic patients and also patients with Division 2 type malocclusions. The added torque keeps the roots in the middle of the basal bone and helps to maintain the natural fullness of the lips in this group of patients
