2. TIP
The mesiodistal or faciolingual angle of
the longaxis of a tooth when measured to a
line perpendicular to the occlusal plane.
POSITIVE mesial

4. TORQUE
The force system transmitted by and through a
structural or machine member, capable of producing
pure rotational displacement about a longitudinal axis
is known as TORQUE.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
5. The resultant of a torsional force system is a
COUPLE, therefore the terms torque and couple used
interchangebly.
In engineering terms torque is the more
correct term to describe a distributed force system carried
by a shaft from one location to another within a structure
or machine.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
7. In orthodontics, torque is often associated with the
angulations of long axes of teeth and pertains to the
positioning of root apices with respect to crowns
The generation of torque at an activation site
results in the delivery of a torsional force system to the
dentition. The action-reaction counterpart of the
desired torque is that exerted by the dentition on the
appliance and the wire must carry it to the anchorage
site.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
9. In engineering terminology a shaft is a slender
member providing mechanical means by which, through
rotational motion about an axis, power may be
transmitted from one location to another.
Torque is the resultant of an internal distribution of
shearing stress on a shaft cross section and is
transmitted longitudinally within the member
unchanged between locations of force system input or
output.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
10. Third –order action potential is achieved
through the presence in the passive state of an angular
differential between the wire cross section and the
bracket slot at each anterior location where torque
transfer is desired.
The longitudinal dimension of the wire
shaft seems to be controlled by the mesio-distal arch
dimensions in the anterior segment
www.indiandentalacademy.com
12. The wire must fill the brackets that is
diagonal dimension of the wire cross-section must
exceed the occluso-gingival width of the bracket slot
in order to maintain a twist activation.
Generally one of the two orthodontic
displacements is attempted in these mechanics, bodily
movement or root movement.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
13. True third-order clearances depend upon the
actual wire and slot dimensions and in effet upon the
stiffness of the bracket slot. In response to the third-order
activation the slot will open slightly as the wire attempts to
deactivate, torsionally within it.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
14. In the absence of vertical constraint the
twist activation causes downward movement of the
anterior portion of the arch-wire in the clinical
situation the existence of localised stiffness results in
the development of in extrusive force exerted by the
wire upon the anterior brackets.

superimpose on a facial extension of the
crown’s midsagittal plane

point must be identical to the facial plane of
the crown at the FA point

1. Pleasing facial esthetics, evaluated by soft
tissue and skeletal measurements
cephalometrically.
2. Molar relation and tooth alignment, evaluated by
Angle's description of anatomical occlusion.
3. Functional occlusion, evaluated gnathologically
on an articulator.

61. Nonextraction

(mandibular arch) and .0175" Respond
(maxillary arch)
2. Occasionally, an .016" SS round or an .
016" ´ .022" SS rectangular wire may be
used to further eliminate rotations
3. .017" ´ .025" SS ideal finishing archwire
It is important to remember with
nonextraction treatment in the mandibular
arch that every arch should be rectangular,
if possible, so that anterior torque control
can be achieved.

71. When a flat round archwire, or one with an
incorporated reverse curve of Spee, is placed
on the lower arch, the usual response is that
the lower bicuspids are extruded, the lower
molars uprighted (tipped back) and the lower
incisors tipped forward . In order to avoid the
forward movement of the lower incisors, these
arches were either tied or cinched back.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
72. However, as the reverse curve of Spee in the
round arches expressed itself, the roots of
the lower incisors were thrown against the
dense cortical bone of the lingual planum of
the symphysis. This acted as an anchor
which resulted in the same forward
movement of the lower incisors, but also
effected a forward movement of the lower
molars .

78. DR. BRANDT Can there be tipping with a
rectangular wire in an edgewise bracket?
DR. BURSTONE Tipping can occur with an
edgewise appliance. Any play between the
bracket and a rectangular archwire can
allow for tipping. Thus, play is increased by
using narrower brackets, undersized wires,
or bending the wire to allow tipping to
occur. Many loop designs also allow tipping
to occur.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
87. FRICTIONLESS MECHANICS
~Closing loops
Size of the archwire & slot
Distance between the attachments
Interbracket distance
Closing loop = Tooth movement & root apices
together
Vertical loop prevents tipping
Closed loop more effective

root paralleling moments

be retracted as against the extraction site
~Fail-safe mechanism

101. FINISHING
~Settling
-Replacing rectangular wire with round wires
and allowing the occlusion to settle on its own
-Laced vertical elastics
-Tooth positioner after band, bracket removal
www.indiandentalacademy.com
111. BROUSSARD TWO FORCE SYSTEM
. If the patient is banded with .018
edgewise channels, the combination-
loop archwire should, be .016 ´ .022 or .
017 ´ .022, while if .022 brackets are
being used, the combination-loop
archwire should be .018 ´ .025 or .021 ´ .
025.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
113. It is suggested that the combination-loop
archwire should have lingual root torque
(labial crown torque) incorporated in the
anterior segment to prevent any rolling or
rabbiting of the maxillary anterior teeth
during retraction
