Bracket variations
Various suggestions have been
made regarding bracket
choice and positioning to optimize
tooth position when
teeth are absent or where an attempt
is made to
overcome a local problem of tooth
position. The aim
is to reduce the need for archwire
adjustments or
auxiliaries.

and
indications
Careful bracket selection and positioning
simplifies the treatment of localized anomalies in the
following situations:
Class II division 1 malocclusion with lateral incisors
palatally displaced;
absent lateral incisor: space closure;
Class III malocclusions: canine angulation;
Npalatally displaced canine: labial movement;
Nabsent upper central incisors: space closure;
N Class III: incisor inclination.

Andrew’s Six Keys to Normal Occlusion
Lawrence Andrew, in 1972,12
outlined six keys to normal
occlusion after studying 120 non-
orthodontic models and
comparing them with the best
1150 finished orthodontic cases.
The established six keys where
not only purposeful due to its
presence in all 120 orthodontic
normals, but also due to the fact
that in treated models, the
absence of one of the six was able
to predict defective incomplete
end result.
Normal occlusion
Key I: Molar Relationship
The first of the six keys is
molar relationship.
1. The distal surface of the
distobuccal cusp of the
upper first permanent
molar occluded with the
mesial surface of the
mesiobuccal cusp of the
lower second molar .
Key I molar relation. (A) Improper molar relationship.
(B) Improved molar relationship. (C) More improved
molar relationship. (D) Proper molar relationship
Key I: Molar Relationship
The first of the six keys is molar
relationship.
1. It is possible for the
mesiobuccal cusp of the
upper first year molar to
occlude in the groove
between the mesial and
middle cusps of the lower
first permanent molar, while
leaving a situation
unreceptive to normal
occlusion.
Key I molar relation. (A) Improper molar relationship. (B)
Improved molar relationship. (C) More improved molar
relationship. (D) Proper molar relationship
Key I: Molar Relationship
The first of the six keys is molar
relationship.
1. The closer the distal
surface of the distobuccal
cusp of the upper first
permanent molar
approaches the mesial
surfaces of the mesiobuccal
cusp of the lower second
molar, the better the
opportunity for normal
occlusion.
Key I molar relation. (A) Improper molar relationship. (B)
Improved molar relationship. (C) More improved molar
relationship. (D) Proper molar relationship
2. The mesiobuccal cusp of
the upper first permanent
molar fell within the groove
between the mesial and
middle cusps of the lower first
permanent molar.
3. The canines and premolars
enjoyed a cusp–embrasure
relationship buccally, and a
cusp–fossa relationship
lingually.

Key II crown
angulation
or tip: Long

crown
measured
from line 90°
to occlusal
plane
Key II: Crown
Angulation, The
Mesiodistal Tip
• The term crown
angulation refers to
angulation (or tip) of
the long axis of the
crown, not to
angulation of the long
axis of the entire
tooth.
.
Key II
crown
angulation
or tip:
Long axis
of crown
measured
from line
90° to
occlusal
plane
Key II: Crown
Angulation, The
Mesiodistal Tip
• • The gingival
portion of the long
axis of each crown
was distal to the
incisal portion,
varying with the
individual tooth
type.
Key II: Crown
Angulation, The
Mesiodistal Tip
• The long axis of the
crown for all teeth,
except molars, is judged
to be the mid-
developmental ridge,
which is the most
prominent and innermost
vertical portion of the
labial or buccal surface
of the crown.
Key II: Crown
Angulation, The
Mesiodistal Tip
The long axis of
the molar crown is
identified by the
dominant vertical
groove on the
buccal surface of
the crown.
Key II crown angulation or tip:
Long axis of crown measured
from line 90° to occlusal plane
Key II: Crown Angulation, The
Mesiodistal Tip
Crown tip is expressed
in degrees, plus or
minus. The degree of
crown tip is the angle
between the long axis
of the crown (as viewed
from the labial or
buccal surface) and a
line bearing 90° from
the occlusal plane.
Key II: Crown Angulation, The
Mesiodistal Tip
A ‘plus reading’ is
assigned when the
gingival portion of the
long axis of the crown
is distal to the incisal
portion and a ‘minus
reading’ when the
gingival portion of the
long axis of the crown
is mesial to the
incisal portion.
Normal occlusion
is dependent
upon proper
distal crown tip,
especially of the
upper anterior
teeth since they
have the longest
crowns.
Key II: Crown Angulation,
The Mesiodistal Tip
The degree of the tip
of incisors
determines the
amount of
mesiodistal space
they consume and,
therefore, has a
considerable effect
on posterior
occlusion as well as
anterior esthetics .
Key II: Crown Angulation,
The Mesiodistal Tip
Key II: Crown
Angulation, The
Mesiodistal Tip
In normal
occlusion, the
crown
angulation was
positive for all
teeth

Tipaccording to Andrew
Key III: Crown Inclination
(Labiolingual or Buccolingual
Inclination)
Crown inclination refers
to the labiolingual or
buccolingual inclination
of the long axis of the
crown, not to the
inclination of the long
axis of the entire tooth .
The inclination of all the
crowns had a consistent
scheme.
Key III crown inclination is determined
by the resulting angle between a line 90°
to the occlusal plane and a line tangent
to the middle of the labial or buccal
clinical crown. (A) shows tooth with
positive crown torque and (B) shows
tooth with negative torque .
Key III: Crown Inclination (Labiolingual or
Buccolingual Inclination)
Anterior teeth (central and
lateral incisors): Upper and
lower anterior crown
inclination was sufficient to
resist overeruption of anterior
teeth and also to allow proper
distal positioning of the
contact points of the upper
teeth in their relationship to the
lower teeth, permitting proper
occlusion of the posterior
crowns.
Key III: Crown Inclination (Labiolingual or
Buccolingual Inclination)
A, Improperly inclined anterior crowns result in all upper contact points being mesial,
leading to improper occlusion. B, Demonstration, on an overlay, that when the anterior
crowns are properly inclined the contact points move distally, allowing for normal
occlusion.
Key III: Crown Inclination (Labiolingual or
Buccolingual Inclination)
Spaces resulting
from normally
occluded posterior
teeth and
insufficiently
inclined anterior
teeth are often
falsely blamed on
tooth size
descrepancy.
Key III: Crown Inclination (Labiolingual
or Buccolingual Inclination)
In normal
occlusion, the
crown inclination
for all teeth was
negative except
maxillary central
and lateral incisors
Key III: Crown Inclination
(Labiolingual or Buccolingual
Inclination)
Upper posterior teeth
(canines through
molars): A lingual crown
inclination existed in the
upper posterior crowns.
It was constant and
similar to the canines
through the second
premolars and was
slightly more
pronounced in the
molars.
Key III: Crown Inclination
(Labiolingual or Buccolingual
Inclination)
Lower posterior
(canines through
molars): The
lingual crown
inclination in the
lower posterior
teeth progressively
increased from the
canines through
the second molars.
Tip and Torque
The clinical
implication of
the tip and
torque is that
they collectively
affect the upper
anterior crowns
and total
occlusion.
Andrew’s wagon
wheel concept. (A, B)
Unbent rectangular
archwire with vertical
wires soldered at 90°,
spaced to represent
the upper central and
lateral incisors. (C–E)
As the anterior
portion of the
archwire is torqued
lingually, the vertical
wires begin to
converge until they
become the spokes
of a wheel when the
archwire is torqued
90° progressively.
Tip and Torque
In lingual crown
torque, for every 4˚,
there is 1˚ mesial
convergence of
central and lateral
incisor crowns, at the
gingival portion. The
ratio is approximately
4:1. Andrew described
this phenomenon as
the ‘wagon wheel
concept’

Orthodontic
treatment
aims to align both
crown and root;
This is
complicated
further by the fact
that the torque
prescription
of the upper lateral
incisor favours
palatal root torque.
To address
this, the lateral
incisor bracket can
be inverted.
Upper Laterals
Torque Values
Torque or root
movement is
achieved by keeping
the crowns
stationary and
applying a moment
to force only to the
root. The center of
rotation of a tooth is
at the incisal edge in
case of root
movement
The effect of
this is to
change
the torque
prescription of
the bracket to
promote labial
movement of
the root.
Using upside down Roth brackets
in the upper lateral incisor is a
simple way to get more labial root
torque with classic Roth brackets.
however, a
standard
lateral incisor
bracket may
provide
insufficient
labial root
torque to
position the
lateral incisor
root
correctly..
standard lateral
incisor bracket
There is a risk of
moving the crown
labially, while leaving
the root palatally
placed. In this
situation, there will be
a need for additional
wire bending, and
treatment time will be
extended.
Labial root torque
may be introduced
into the
archwire with
torquing pliers (e.g.
Rose torquing
pliers)
or by a single tooth
torquing auxiliary.
Bracket variations
A simpler solution, however,
is to invert the lateral
bracket. At the start of
treatment bracket inversion
maintains the crown
angulation, but boosts(
facilitates ) labial
torque by reversing slot
inclination. This approach
may also increase patient
comfort by gradual
introduction
of labiolingual torque..
Inverted upper lateral incisor
brackets give -10° torque and
+8° angulation in cases with in-
standing laterals.
In cases with palatally displaced upper lateral incisors, it is
beneficial to invert the upper lateral incisor brackets to create -10°
torque instead of +10° of torque .This creates the necessary labial
root torque to aid in moving the lateral root forward

Before

are modified the
prescription of the
brackets must be
known.
MBT™ Versatile+ Appliance System
It is not correct to
switch sides. The left
bracket goes on to the
left incisor and the
right bracket on to the
right incisor. Inverting
the bracket in this way
applies effective labial
root torque at the
rectangular wire stage,
for easy root
correction.
The palatally displaced
lateral incisor is
bracketed with the
normal bracket, but it is
rotated 180° , which
changes the torque from
+10° to-10°. This assists
in labial root torque at
the rectangular wire
stage. The tip stays the
same at 8°.
Conventional placement of an upper lateral incisor
Rotation of the lateral incisor bracket by 180°

The left side bracket is
placed on the left incisor
and the right side
bracket is placed on the
right incisor. This is
mentioned because it is
a frequently asked
question! It is not correct
to place the left incisor
bracket on the right
incisor or vice versa

A convenient way to

UPPER LATERAL
INCISORS cases involve
the following
procedures:
• During the alignment
stage, it is necessary to
create enough space
for the palatally
displaced tooth.
This is achieved
using coil spring.
The brackets on
the adjacent
teeth are tied
with wire
ligatures, to
prevent rotations
It is necessary to create
sufficient space for
palatally displaced
incisors before
attempting to move
them labially.
Bendbacks are placed 2
mm distal to molar
tubes, to allow an
increase in arch length.
After creation of
space, a .015
multistrand wire
or a .016 HANT
wire may be used
to gently move the
lateral incisors
labially
Piggy back technique to align the in-standing
upper left lateral incisor
The alternative is wire
bending, but it is
difficult and time
consuming to introduce
the exact amount of
torque needed into
rectangular wire.
Inverting the bracket is
more precise and easier.
In cases with instanding upper lateral incisors it is
often helpful if the bracket is inverted.

Upper lateral incisor bracket.
Lateral incisor brackets were placed on the upper canines
to allow a more palatal root torque and reduce the canine
eminence. The upper first premolar brackets were bonded
in a slightly distal position which will rotate the premolars
mesially for better esthetics.
orthodontic Bracket variations
Lateral brackets may be placed on
canines when treating patients with
canine substitution , positioned
according to gingival margin height
rather than on the cusp tip of the
substituted canines .
The brackets on the substituted canines
should be placed at a distance from the
gingival margin such that they will erupt
these teeth to the appropriate lateral
incisor vertical height .
To substitute canines in the
position of missing laterals,
special bracket placement
was necessary for both
maxillary canines and the
first premolars. The lateral
incisor brackets were bonded
to the canines and the canine
brackets were placed on the
first premolars.
Before bonding the
lateral incisor bracket on
the canine, the labial
surface was reshaped for
the bracket adaptation. It
is necessary to position
these brackets gingivally
to permit the
recontouring of the
canines required for
esthetics and function.
Recontouring (red color) of the
maxillary canine to resemble like
a lateral incisor.
To make the canine
appear less curved
and more like a
lateral incisor, the
bracket was placed
more distally in the
center of the canine
rather than at the
height of contour
In addition, a
canine bracket
was placed on
the first premolar
in the same
mesiodistal
position (more
distally) in which
it is placed on
the canine.
However, to
improve the
interproximal
contact points,
offset bonds (in-
out) was needed
between the
central incisor
and canine .
In the archwire design, to improve the
interproximal contact points, the 1st
order (in-out) bends was performed
on the maxillary canines.

Absent lateral incisors: space closure
Regarding the solution of
placing a lateral incisor
bracket after
recontouring of the canine
to mimic the lateral incisor,
potential obstacles are the
wide range of canine
crown
anatomies and
unfavourable crown-root
angulations.

root; extra length. 10, Crown poorly
formed; root extra long.
Absent lateral incisors: space closure
An alternative is to invert the
canine bracket on the
canine tooth. This achieves a
crown angulation of 11
degrees,
but 7 degrees labial root
torque becomes 7 degrees of
palatal root
torque for both MBT and
Andrews prescription, but
slightly less for Roth
brackets due to the
prescription.

there is a difference
of 3 degrees.

Apart from this, the bracket on

relevant in Roth where there
is 9° change; in MBT there
are
similar torque values.

In order to
facilitate
restorative

preferential
mesial root
movement over
the
crown should
occur.
Inclination/torque prescription (in degrees)
orthodontic Bracket variations
A central incisor
bracket should be
placed on a mesially
substituted lateral
incisor to achieve an
appropriate
angulation ( tip) for
the labial surface of
the incisor, as well as
to better control its
rotation, and correct
the second order axial
inclination.
Tip Values
Torque Values
The emergence
profile of a maxillary
central incisor is
generally flat on the
mesial surface, but
the adjacent lateral
incisor is more
angulated . When
substituting a lateral
for a central incisor,
it is necessary to
move it close to the
midline to provide a
more natural midline
papillae.
Angulation/ Inclination/ Crown Size
Compared to normal
tooth form (right),
angulation (2
degrees ) and
mesiodistal
positioning of the
substituted lateral
incisor is essential
for simulating the
midline papilla and
central incisor crown
form (left).
Angulation/ Inclination/ Crown Size
The mesially substituted teeth were
altered restoratively to simulate
upper left incisors and canine. Note
that the primary consideration is
aligning the gingiva and papillae.
Once there axial inclinations were
corrected, restorative procedures
were performed.
Because of the size
difference
between the
incisors , the
lateral incisor must
be extensively
recontoured on
the distal surface
which may or may
not be consistent
with periodontal
health.

Tip Values
6-Absent upper central
incisor: space
closure
Following loss of
an upper central
incisor, space
closure
may involve
moving the lateral
incisor mesially.
The
lateral then abuts
the adjacent
central incisor..
6-Absent upper central incisor:
space
closure
As the
lateral moves
mesially, its
root should
move further
mesially than
its crown; the
mesial surface
is then
vertical.
The mesially substituted teeth were
altered restoratively to simulate
upper left incisors and canine. Note
that the primary consideration is
aligning the gingiva and papillae.
Once there axial inclinations were
corrected, restorative procedures
were performed.
6-Absent upper central incisor: space
closure
This permits the
restorative phase to
build up
the distal surface with
an optimal emergence
profile.
This avoids the
problem of retention
from a mesiogingival
margin on the
restoration.
6-Absent upper central
incisor: space
closure
It has been
suggested that it is
useful to bond the
contra-lateral central
incisor
bracket to tilt the
tooth so its distal
crown aspect
approaches vertical.
6-Absent upper central
incisor: space
closure

Upper
canine brackets are
inverted to provide
additional palatal root
torque. The lateral
incisor brackets are
transposed to
achieve
improved root

mesial movement
and restorative
build-up
Inclination/torque prescription (in degrees)
• For good root control
with buccally ectopic
upper canines, the
-7° torque bracket is not
really suitable, and
works better when
inverted to give the +7°
option, which guides
the root into cancellous
bone.
Torque Values
7-Buccally
ectopic canine
In class 3 cases, there
is a need for upper
incisor proclination. It
is possible to invert
incisor
brackets for labial
root torque, MBT
giving the greatest
change at 34°
although there are
concerns that this
amount of torque
risks root resorption.
8-Incisor inclination In
class III
8-Incisor inclination in Class III
malocclusions
When Class III
malocclusions
are treated
orthodontically
the upper
incisors tend to
be proclined as
the
malocclusion is
camouflaged.
8-Incisor inclination in Class III
malocclusions
Subtelny and
Catania
advocated the use
of labial root
torque and tying
the
archwire forward to
advance ‘A’ point
and boost
anteroposterior
arch length.
The forward arch must be
separated 2 mm from
the slots of the anterior
braces.
Lateral view of the stop and
the separation
of the wire from the slot of
the braces.
It can be helpful
to invert lower
incisor brackets
(to give +6°
torque) in some
Class III cases to
prevent
unwanted
retroclination
of lower
incisors.
Torque Values
It is helpful to invert
the lower
incisor brackets in
some cases.
This can also
be useful in
cases where
molar
anchorage
loss is needed
or where a
single lower
incisor
is proclined.

8-Incisor inclination in Class III
malocclusions
The possibility
exists to
invert incisor
brackets and use
these to provide
labial
root torque, which
may be useful in
some selected
cases.
8-Incisor inclination in Class III
malocclusions
For the central incisors
this would effectively
change the
torque values: Andrews (a
14 degrees change), Roth
(a change of 24 degrees),
and MBT (a
change of 34 degrees).
9-Upper premolar
substituting canine
In cases where the canine is
absent or replacing the
lateral incisor, placement of
the bracket
more distally on the
premolar moves the palatal
cusp out of the way .
Smoothing the palatal cusp
of the first premolar may be
required to further hide it or
improve occlusal
interference.
Two supernumerary
teeth were observed between the lateral incisors and
first premolars. The maxillary permanent canines were
impacted over the roots of the upper central incisors.
Substitution of retained canines with first
maxillary premolars. Case report
Revista Mexicana de Ortodoncia
Vol. 4, No. 4 October-December 2016
Treatment plan
• Removal of the maxillary canines and replace
them
with the first premolars because these had the
necessary size and root shape to achieve lingual
crown torque.
• Substitute canine guidance with premolar
guidance
or group function.
• Placement of 0.022” x 0.025” slot Roth fixed
appliances.
• Final articulation mounting in order to perform
the
occlusal adjustment and for the premolars to
better
withstand the occlusal loads.
• Rehabilitation with interproximal resins in the
lateral
incisors and premolars to achieve an adequate
periodontal health
10-Case finishing
In order to achieve good
finishing and occlusion in
MBT prescription, lower
second molar
tubes can be used on the
contralateral upper first and
second molars to result in
zero tip
and zero rotation,
resulting in mesio-palatal
rotation of upper molars.
Upper second molars:
Usually, a step
between first
and second molar
occurs . To avoid this
step, it is important to
understand how these
teeth are
in a normal situation.
10-Case finishing
(a and b) An
undesirable
step between
the first and
second
upper molar
Upper second molars:
10-Case finishing
By analyzing the position
and
inclination of the second
molars in a collection of
skulls
with normal occlusion, it is
found that these teeth are in
a more distocervical
direction to the occlusal
plane and
at a slight angle to distal .
Observe the position of the second
molars in a collection of skulls with
normal occlusion. These teeth are in a
more superior position to the
occlusal plane and at a slight angle to the
distal
It seems that the
position of these teeth
is a little
different from what is
common to mount
orthodontic
appliances. Therefore,
the clinical crowns of
the second
molars are always
angulated in
distocervical direction[
Observe the position of the second molars in a
collection of skulls with normal occlusion. These
teeth are in a more superior position to the
occlusal plane and at a slight angle to the distal
10-Case finishing
One can
observe the
same situation
illustrated in
Angle’s book,
as a normal
occlusion .
Normal occlusion

the Angle’s book
(1907). The
same characteristic
position of second
molars can be
observed
10-Case finishing
Klontz also emphasizes this
condition in a very
clear way in his article–
“Readout.” Thus, to have no
problems in positioning the
brackets and tubes on upper
second molars, it is
necessary to follow the
precepts:
(1) hold tooth in its normal
position, (2) position the
bracket as occlusal as
possible, and (3) control
torque
10-Case finishing
A 25-year-old female
patient presented at
the office for a
second opinion as
she had been advised
to undergo
orthognathic surgery
in order to resolve
her complaint.

canted occlusal plane from the right to
the left side.
11-Canting of the
occlusal plane
She had a mild frontal
asymmetric face, but
her only complaint was
the asymmetric
superior occlusal
plane, notably on
smiling, and
consequently the lower
arch followed these
upper disharmonies,
but to a lesser extent .

11-Canting of the occlusal plane
The brackets on the
upper right side were
bonded at a higher
position from the incisal/

between them (i.e.: the
lateral incisors placed
0.5mm more incisally
than the central incisors)
ndividualized vertical bonding of maxillary brackets: the
brackets on the right side were bonded at a higher

11-Canting of the occlusal plane
Orthodontic leveling of the
maxillary and mandibular arches
were performed with nickel-
titanium 0.014” and heat-activated
0.019” x 0.025” wires.
Individualized stainless steel
0.019” x
archwires were placed. The
maxillary archwire received a
substantial lingual crown torque in
the left posterior side to counter
the effects of intrusion, while force
was applied outside the center of
resistance of these teeth.
0.026”
11-Canting of the occlusal plane
The appliance was mounted
according to the malocclusion. The
height of the canine bracket from one
side is different to other side with the
leveling resulting in a significant
improvement
individualized vertical bonding of maxillary
brackets: the brackets on the right side were
bonded at a higher position from the
incisal/occlusal edge and at a lower position on the

One millimeter
difference in vertical
positioning could alter
torque values up to 10
degrees. Intense
posterior torque was
applied to the left side
of the maxillary
archwire in order to
oppose asymmetric
torque in maxillary
teeth.

The patient was very
pleased with the
results. A

orthodontic Bracket variations

  • 2. Bracket variations Various suggestions have been made regarding bracket choice and positioning to optimize tooth position when teeth are absent or where an attempt is made to overcome a local problem of tooth position. The aim is to reduce the need for archwire adjustments or auxiliaries.
  • 4. Careful bracket selection and positioning simplifies the treatment of localized anomalies in the following situations: Class II division 1 malocclusion with lateral incisors palatally displaced; absent lateral incisor: space closure; Class III malocclusions: canine angulation; Npalatally displaced canine: labial movement; Nabsent upper central incisors: space closure; N Class III: incisor inclination. Bracket variations
  • 5. Andrew’s Six Keys to Normal Occlusion Lawrence Andrew, in 1972,12 outlined six keys to normal occlusion after studying 120 non- orthodontic models and comparing them with the best 1150 finished orthodontic cases. The established six keys where not only purposeful due to its presence in all 120 orthodontic normals, but also due to the fact that in treated models, the absence of one of the six was able to predict defective incomplete end result. Normal occlusion
  • 6. Key I: Molar Relationship The first of the six keys is molar relationship. 1. The distal surface of the distobuccal cusp of the upper first permanent molar occluded with the mesial surface of the mesiobuccal cusp of the lower second molar . Key I molar relation. (A) Improper molar relationship. (B) Improved molar relationship. (C) More improved molar relationship. (D) Proper molar relationship
  • 7. Key I: Molar Relationship The first of the six keys is molar relationship. 1. It is possible for the mesiobuccal cusp of the upper first year molar to occlude in the groove between the mesial and middle cusps of the lower first permanent molar, while leaving a situation unreceptive to normal occlusion. Key I molar relation. (A) Improper molar relationship. (B) Improved molar relationship. (C) More improved molar relationship. (D) Proper molar relationship
  • 8. Key I: Molar Relationship The first of the six keys is molar relationship. 1. The closer the distal surface of the distobuccal cusp of the upper first permanent molar approaches the mesial surfaces of the mesiobuccal cusp of the lower second molar, the better the opportunity for normal occlusion. Key I molar relation. (A) Improper molar relationship. (B) Improved molar relationship. (C) More improved molar relationship. (D) Proper molar relationship
  • 9. 2. The mesiobuccal cusp of the upper first permanent molar fell within the groove between the mesial and middle cusps of the lower first permanent molar. 3. The canines and premolars enjoyed a cusp–embrasure relationship buccally, and a cusp–fossa relationship lingually. Key I: Molar Relationship The first of the six keys is molar relationship. Key I molar relation. (A) Improper molar relationship. (B) Improved molar relationship. (C) More improved molar relationship. (D) Proper molar relationship
  • 10. Key II crown angulation or tip: Long axis of crown measured from line 90° to occlusal plane Key II: Crown Angulation, The Mesiodistal Tip • The term crown angulation refers to angulation (or tip) of the long axis of the crown, not to angulation of the long axis of the entire tooth. .
  • 11. Key II crown angulation or tip: Long axis of crown measured from line 90° to occlusal plane Key II: Crown Angulation, The Mesiodistal Tip • • The gingival portion of the long axis of each crown was distal to the incisal portion, varying with the individual tooth type.
  • 12. Key II: Crown Angulation, The Mesiodistal Tip • The long axis of the crown for all teeth, except molars, is judged to be the mid- developmental ridge, which is the most prominent and innermost vertical portion of the labial or buccal surface of the crown.
  • 13. Key II: Crown Angulation, The Mesiodistal Tip The long axis of the molar crown is identified by the dominant vertical groove on the buccal surface of the crown.
  • 14. Key II crown angulation or tip: Long axis of crown measured from line 90° to occlusal plane Key II: Crown Angulation, The Mesiodistal Tip Crown tip is expressed in degrees, plus or minus. The degree of crown tip is the angle between the long axis of the crown (as viewed from the labial or buccal surface) and a line bearing 90° from the occlusal plane.
  • 15. Key II: Crown Angulation, The Mesiodistal Tip A ‘plus reading’ is assigned when the gingival portion of the long axis of the crown is distal to the incisal portion and a ‘minus reading’ when the gingival portion of the long axis of the crown is mesial to the incisal portion.
  • 16. Normal occlusion is dependent upon proper distal crown tip, especially of the upper anterior teeth since they have the longest crowns. Key II: Crown Angulation, The Mesiodistal Tip
  • 17. The degree of the tip of incisors determines the amount of mesiodistal space they consume and, therefore, has a considerable effect on posterior occlusion as well as anterior esthetics . Key II: Crown Angulation, The Mesiodistal Tip
  • 18. Key II: Crown Angulation, The Mesiodistal Tip In normal occlusion, the crown angulation was positive for all teeth
  • 19. Key II: Crown Angulation, The Mesiodistal Tipaccording to Andrew
  • 20. Key III: Crown Inclination (Labiolingual or Buccolingual Inclination) Crown inclination refers to the labiolingual or buccolingual inclination of the long axis of the crown, not to the inclination of the long axis of the entire tooth . The inclination of all the crowns had a consistent scheme. Key III crown inclination is determined by the resulting angle between a line 90° to the occlusal plane and a line tangent to the middle of the labial or buccal clinical crown. (A) shows tooth with positive crown torque and (B) shows tooth with negative torque .
  • 21. Key III: Crown Inclination (Labiolingual or Buccolingual Inclination) Anterior teeth (central and lateral incisors): Upper and lower anterior crown inclination was sufficient to resist overeruption of anterior teeth and also to allow proper distal positioning of the contact points of the upper teeth in their relationship to the lower teeth, permitting proper occlusion of the posterior crowns.
  • 22. Key III: Crown Inclination (Labiolingual or Buccolingual Inclination) A, Improperly inclined anterior crowns result in all upper contact points being mesial, leading to improper occlusion. B, Demonstration, on an overlay, that when the anterior crowns are properly inclined the contact points move distally, allowing for normal occlusion.
  • 23. Key III: Crown Inclination (Labiolingual or Buccolingual Inclination) Spaces resulting from normally occluded posterior teeth and insufficiently inclined anterior teeth are often falsely blamed on tooth size descrepancy.
  • 24. Key III: Crown Inclination (Labiolingual or Buccolingual Inclination) In normal occlusion, the crown inclination for all teeth was negative except maxillary central and lateral incisors
  • 25. Key III: Crown Inclination (Labiolingual or Buccolingual Inclination) Upper posterior teeth (canines through molars): A lingual crown inclination existed in the upper posterior crowns. It was constant and similar to the canines through the second premolars and was slightly more pronounced in the molars.
  • 26. Key III: Crown Inclination (Labiolingual or Buccolingual Inclination) Lower posterior (canines through molars): The lingual crown inclination in the lower posterior teeth progressively increased from the canines through the second molars.
  • 27. Tip and Torque The clinical implication of the tip and torque is that they collectively affect the upper anterior crowns and total occlusion. Andrew’s wagon wheel concept. (A, B) Unbent rectangular archwire with vertical wires soldered at 90°, spaced to represent the upper central and lateral incisors. (C–E) As the anterior portion of the archwire is torqued lingually, the vertical wires begin to converge until they become the spokes of a wheel when the archwire is torqued 90° progressively.
  • 28. Tip and Torque In lingual crown torque, for every 4˚, there is 1˚ mesial convergence of central and lateral incisor crowns, at the gingival portion. The ratio is approximately 4:1. Andrew described this phenomenon as the ‘wagon wheel concept’ Andrew’s wagon wheel concept. (A, B) Unbent rectangular archwire with vertical wires soldered at 90°, spaced to represent the upper central and lateral incisors. (C–E) As the anterior portion of the archwire is torqued lingually, the vertical wires begin to converge until they become the spokes of a wheel when the archwire is torqued 90° progressively.

  • 31. The orthodontist is often called upon to correct upper lateral incisors which are palatally displaced. Bracket variations 1-upper lateral incisor palatally displaced and/in crossbite
  • 32. Cases with upper anterior crowding on Class 1 or Class III dental bases are liable to have upper lateral incisors which are in crossbite, and it can be difficult to achieve stable root correction.
  • 33. upper or lower lateral incisor palatally or lingually displaced
  • 34. upper lateral incisors palatally displaced and in crossbite Class III MALOCCLUSION
  • 35. Class IIdivision 2 WITH DISPLACED UPPER RIGHT LATERAL INCISOR PALATALLY AND IN CROSS BITE .
  • 36. Where the maxillary lateral incisors have erupted palatally, often the most challenging and time-consuming treatment objective is labial movement of the roots of these teeth.
  • 37. Class II Division 1 malocclusion maxillary lateral incisors have erupted palatally,
  • 38. Root bulge of the upper lateral incisors
  • 39. Class II division 1 malocclusion. Root bulge of the upper lateral incisor
  • 40. Class 1 malocclusion with cross bite of upper lateral incisors
  • 41. In some Class II division 1 malocclusions, the upper lateral incisors may be palatally displaced. Orthodontic treatment aims to align both crown and root;
  • 42. This is complicated further by the fact that the torque prescription of the upper lateral incisor favours palatal root torque. To address this, the lateral incisor bracket can be inverted. Upper Laterals Torque Values
  • 43. Torque or root movement is achieved by keeping the crowns stationary and applying a moment to force only to the root. The center of rotation of a tooth is at the incisal edge in case of root movement
  • 44. The effect of this is to change the torque prescription of the bracket to promote labial movement of the root. Using upside down Roth brackets in the upper lateral incisor is a simple way to get more labial root torque with classic Roth brackets.
  • 45. however, a standard lateral incisor bracket may provide insufficient labial root torque to position the lateral incisor root correctly.. standard lateral incisor bracket
  • 46. There is a risk of moving the crown labially, while leaving the root palatally placed. In this situation, there will be a need for additional wire bending, and treatment time will be extended.
  • 47. Labial root torque may be introduced into the archwire with torquing pliers (e.g. Rose torquing pliers) or by a single tooth torquing auxiliary. Bracket variations
  • 48. A simpler solution, however, is to invert the lateral bracket. At the start of treatment bracket inversion maintains the crown angulation, but boosts( facilitates ) labial torque by reversing slot inclination. This approach may also increase patient comfort by gradual introduction of labiolingual torque.. Inverted upper lateral incisor brackets give -10° torque and +8° angulation in cases with in- standing laterals.
  • 49. In cases with palatally displaced upper lateral incisors, it is beneficial to invert the upper lateral incisor brackets to create -10° torque instead of +10° of torque .This creates the necessary labial root torque to aid in moving the lateral root forward
  • 50. Inverted upper lateral incisor bracket applying additional root torque to an instanding left lateral incisor. The right-side bracket is placed in the normal position. Note the more labial position of the root apex when the bracket is inverted, reversing the torque.
  • 51. Inverted upper lateral incisor brackets give -10° torque and +8° angulation in cases with in- standing laterals. ... It shows the slightly increased prominence of the upper lateral incisors, resulting from the reduced in-out on the brackets. in-out
  • 52. Effective torque however, depends on the bracket prescription. Before bracket positions are modified the prescription of the brackets must be known. MBT™ Versatile+ Appliance System
  • 53. It is not correct to switch sides. The left bracket goes on to the left incisor and the right bracket on to the right incisor. Inverting the bracket in this way applies effective labial root torque at the rectangular wire stage, for easy root correction.
  • 54. The palatally displaced lateral incisor is bracketed with the normal bracket, but it is rotated 180° , which changes the torque from +10° to-10°. This assists in labial root torque at the rectangular wire stage. The tip stays the same at 8°. Conventional placement of an upper lateral incisor Rotation of the lateral incisor bracket by 180° bracket gives +10° of torque. changes the torque from +10° to -10°
  • 55. The left side bracket is placed on the left incisor and the right side bracket is placed on the right incisor. This is mentioned because it is a frequently asked question! It is not correct to place the left incisor bracket on the right incisor or vice versa Conventional placement of an upper lateral incisor Rotation of the lateral incisor bracket by 180° bracket gives +10° of torque. changes the torque from +10° to -10°
  • 56. A convenient way to manage INSTANDING UPPER LATERAL INCISORS cases involve the following procedures: • During the alignment stage, it is necessary to create enough space for the palatally displaced tooth.
  • 57. This is achieved using coil spring. The brackets on the adjacent teeth are tied with wire ligatures, to prevent rotations
  • 58. It is necessary to create sufficient space for palatally displaced incisors before attempting to move them labially. Bendbacks are placed 2 mm distal to molar tubes, to allow an increase in arch length.
  • 59. After creation of space, a .015 multistrand wire or a .016 HANT wire may be used to gently move the lateral incisors labially
  • 60. Piggy back technique to align the in-standing upper left lateral incisor
  • 61. The alternative is wire bending, but it is difficult and time consuming to introduce the exact amount of torque needed into rectangular wire. Inverting the bracket is more precise and easier. In cases with instanding upper lateral incisors it is often helpful if the bracket is inverted. An occlusal view of a case, close to completion. It shows the slightly increased prominence of the upper lateral incisors, resulting from the reduced in-out on the brackets. This gives better smile aesthetics, which is much appreciated by patients
  • 62. In the Andrews prescription a lateral incisor bracket with a 3 degrees of torque when inverted delivers an inclination, which was increased by 6 degrees (from –3 to 3 degrees with the standard bracket prescription). Andrews/Roth/MBT torque values
  • 63. Inverted Roth lateral incisor brackets produce a difference of 16 degrees compared with 6 degrees with Andrews prescription as normally positioned .Roth lateral brackets have 8 degrees of palatal root torque incorporated into their design. Andrews/Roth/MBT torque values
  • 64. An MBT bracket inverted on a lateral incisor changes torque by 20 degrees as 10 degrees changes to -10 degrees. Full bracket expression is unlikely with the archwire dimensions used in clinical practice. Andrews/Roth/MBT torque values
  • 65. This may be further compounded by the slot size being larger than manufacturers’ state.
  • 66. Inverted upper lateral incisor bracket applying additional root torque to an instanding left lateral incisor. The right-side bracket is placed in the normal position. (a) Apical view.
  • 67. (c) Incisal view. Note the more labial position of the root apex when the bracket is inverted, reversing the torque.
  • 68. 2-Absent lateral incisors: space closure When maxillary lateral incisors are absent and space closure is planned, which bracket is best placed on the canine?
  • 69. Absent lateral incisors: space closure The standard MBT canine bracket has 7 degrees of labial root torque, which is appropriate for a canine in its usual position in the line of the arch. Torque Values
  • 70. Absent lateral incisors: space closure This is inappropriate, however, if this tooth is to replace a lateral incisor where palatal root torque is indicated, rather than labial torque. the canines receive the lateral incisor brackets. canines extrusion and premolars intrusion to adjust the gingival level. the canines should receive, lingual root torque .The first premolars receive canine brackets A multidisciplinary treatment of congenitally missing maxillary lateral incisors: a 14-year follow-up case report J Appl Oral Sci. 2014;22(5):465-71
  • 71. Absent lateral incisors: space closure One suggestion is to place a lateral incisor bracket on the canine crown. However, the height of the bracket stem and the labiolingual thickness may be too great, and may position the tooth palatally in the line of the arch unless first order bends are also incorporated. Prescription in Roth technique Torque Values Tip Values
  • 72. Absent lateral incisors: space closure Also there may be insufficient torque in view of the greater crown-root angle found in canines. Torque Values The collum angle and the crown to root angulation
  • 73. Absent lateral incisors: space closure Bracket fit creates a further problem as canine crown labial convexity is greater than that of the lateral incisor. Torque Values Upper lateral incisor bracket.
  • 74. Lateral incisor brackets were placed on the upper canines to allow a more palatal root torque and reduce the canine eminence. The upper first premolar brackets were bonded in a slightly distal position which will rotate the premolars mesially for better esthetics.
  • 76. Lateral brackets may be placed on canines when treating patients with canine substitution , positioned according to gingival margin height rather than on the cusp tip of the substituted canines . The brackets on the substituted canines should be placed at a distance from the gingival margin such that they will erupt these teeth to the appropriate lateral incisor vertical height .
