4. Introduction to Fixed Appliances
These are orthodontic devices, which have attachments that
are fixed onto the tooth surface, and force are exerted on
tooth via these attachments using arch wires and other
auxiliaries.
These appliances cannot be removed or activated by
patient.

5. Indications of Fixed Appliances
Correction of mild to moderate
skeletal discrepancy.
Intrusion/Extrusion of teeth.
Corrections of rotation.
Overbite reduction by intrusion
of incisors.
Multiple tooth movements
required in one arch.
Active closure of extraction
space, or space due to
Hypodontia.

8. Fixed Appliances
Contemporary fixed appliances are variations of Edge wise appliance system.
Another system of fixed appliance is Begg appliance system.
It contains rectangular slot but does not use rectangular arch wire.
Currently Begg appliance system has been modified into Tip – Edge appliance system.
4/4/2017DR. SARANG - S - HOTCHANDANI

10. Ribbon Arch
It was made by Edward Angle.
It contains vertically positioned
rectangular slots in which arch wire of
10x20 gold wire was placed into the
vertical slots and held with pins.
It had poor control of root position
and does not generated torque.
4/4/2017DR. SARANG - S - HOTCHANDANI
10
11. Edgewise
angle modified that ribbon arch appliance, in
which he Reoriented the slot from vertical to
horizontal and inserted a rectangular wire
rotated 90 degrees to the orientation it had
with ribbon arch, thus the name edge wise.
The dimension in that slot were 22 x 28 mils
& wire of 22 x 28 mil precious metal was
used.
4/4/2017DR. SARANG - S - HOTCHANDANI
11
12. Begg Appliance
It is a modification of ribbon arch appliance, in which Raymond Begg modified
following things in the appliance.
He replaced the precious metal ribbon arch with 16 mils round stainless steel wire
He retained original ribbon arch bracket, but turned it upside down so that the bracket
pointed gingival rather occlusally.
He added auxiliary springs to the appliance for control of root position & cause rotation in
tooth.

13. Advantages & Limitations of
Begg Appliance
Advantage of Begg Appliance
Tipping movement
Bite opening
Friction was minimized
Binding was minimized (mentioned in chapter 9)
Limitations of Begg Appliance
Finishing
Cumbersome Technique

14. Tip Edgewise Appliance
It is a hybrid appliance having combination of Begg & Edge wise
mechanics (straight wire mechanics of edge wise)
It allows tipping of tooth in the initial stages of treatment with
round wires – Begg technique.
In latter stages, rectangular wires are used for final tooth positioning.
4/4/2017DR. SARANG - S - HOTCHANDANI
14
16. Modern edgewise appliances are of two
types;
Standard/Original Edge wise appliance
system
Straight wire/ Contemporary edgewise
appliance system
4/4/2017DR. SARANG - S - HOTCHANDANI
16
17. STANDARD EDGEWISE APPLIANCE
SYSTEM
Rotation of tooth was controlled by
separate ligatures tied to the eyelets
soldered to the corners of bands
Bracket slot size was 22 x 18
Same bracket on all teeth
That’s why bends were given to
compensate for difference in tooth
anatomy.
4/4/2017DR. SARANG - S - HOTCHANDANI
17
19. 1st order Bend OR in – out bend OR
facio – lingual bends
This bend was given to compensate for variation in the contour of
labial surface of individual teeth (differing tooth width &
buccolingual direction of teeth).
These bends are given in horizontal or in the plane of arch wire.
Can be given in rectangular or round wire
4/4/2017DR. SARANG - S - HOTCHANDANI
19
20. 2nd order bend/ tip bends/ artistic positioning
bends
These bends were given to achieve proper mesiodistal root
position or tilting of teeth.
They are given in vertical plane
Can be given in rectangular or round wire.
4/4/2017DR. SARANG - S - HOTCHANDANI
20
21. 3rd order bends/ torque bends
These bends are given only in rectangular wire.
These bends are made by twisting the wire and is inserted into
bracket slot so that is can exert Bucco lingual force on the root
apex.
These bends were given for moving the roots facially or lingually
and also to avoid movement of properly positioned teeth. 4/4/2017DR. SARANG - S - HOTCHANDANI
21
24. Straight wire edgewise appliance
They are modern edgewise appliances
In these appliance rotation is not controlled by separate ligature but
it is built in the bracket itself.
Bracket slot size is available in two forms;
18 x 28 mills & 22 x 28 mill slot size.
4/4/2017DR. SARANG - S - HOTCHANDANI
24
25. Straight wire edgewise appliance
Different brackets for different teeth.
This thing eliminated the bends which were given in standard edgewise.
In these appliances no any 1st order bend is given, instead, compensation for the
contour of labial surface of teeth is built into the base of bracket.
In straight arch wire appliances, positioning of root is accomplished by proper
angulation of bracket or bracket slot.
This thing decreased the need for 2nd order bends. 4/4/2017DR. SARANG - S - HOTCHANDANI
25
26. Straight wire edgewise appliance
The bracket slots in the straight wire edgewise
appliances are inclined to compensate for proper
inclination of facial surface, so that’s why 3rd order
bends are not given.

30. Orthodontic Bands
These are the rings which encircle the tooth & to which buccal and/or lingual
attachments are soldered or welded.
Before acid etching technique, brackets were attached on bands which are
then cemented on tooth.
They are not used now days except only on molar teeth.
4/4/2017DR. SARANG - S - HOTCHANDANI
30
31. Indications Where Brackets Are Still Applied
On Bands
Teeth that will receive heavy intermittent
force;
maxillary 1st molar in which force is applied via
headgear
Teeth that will need both labial and lingual
attachments
Molar with both headgear and lingual arch
tube.
Isolated lingual bracket.
Teeth with short clinical crowns
Teeth with extensive restoration
Bond strength is low on restorations.
De bonding from porcelain damages
its appearance.

33. Steps in Placement of Orthodontic Bands
Separation
Fitting
Cementation
4/4/2017DR. SARANG - S - HOTCHANDANI
33
34. Separation
Teeth must be separated before banding, because tight inter proximal contacts
make it impossible to properly seat a band.
Principle of Separation; a device to force or wedge the teeth apart is left in
place long enough for initial tooth movement to occur, so that the teeth are
slightly separated by the appointment at which bands are to be fitted.
4/4/2017DR. SARANG - S - HOTCHANDANI
34
36. Separating Springs
They exert scissor action above and below the contact.
Open the contact points within 1 week. Should not be placed more than 1 week.
Easier to tolerate.
Disadvantages; these separators tend to become loose & fall out as they
accomplish their purpose.
4/4/2017DR. SARANG - S - HOTCHANDANI
36
37. Method of Separation with Steel
Separating Spring
A. The spring is grasped at the base.
B. The bent – over end of the longer leg is placed in lingual embrasure, and the
spring is pulled open so the shorter leg can slip beneath the contact.
C. The spring in place, with the helix to the buccal.
D. The spring can be removed most easily by squeezing the helix, forcing the legs
apart. 4/4/2017DR. SARANG - S - HOTCHANDANI

4/4/2017DR. SARANG - S - HOTCHANDANI
38
39. ELASTOMERIC SEPARATORS
(DOUGHNUTS)
They surround the contact point & squeeze the teeth apart.
More difficult to insert but they are retained for long time without
fall.
Always use bright colored elastomeric separators because they
are radiolucent.
They should be placed not more than 2 weeks.
4/4/2017DR. SARANG - S - HOTCHANDANI
39
40. Method of Separation with Elastomeric
Ring
The elastomeric ring is placed over the beaks of a special pliers and stretched, then
one side is snapped through the contact and the pliers slipped out so that the doughnut now surrounds the
contact; C,
an alternative to the special pliers is two loops of dental floss, placed so they can be used to stretch the ring.
The dental floss is snapped through the contact and the doughnut is pulled underneath the contact;
the doughnut is pulled upward, and the doughnut is snapped into position. At that point, the dental floss is
removed.

42. Fitting the Bands
Maxillary molar band placement
placed initially by hand pressure on the
mesial & distal surfaces. After placement
pressure is applied on mesiobuccal and
distolingual surfaces.
Final seating is with heavy biting force by
patient on the distolingual corner.
Mandibular molar band placement
Seated initially with hand
pressure on proximal surfaces
and then with
Heavy biting force along the
buccal but not lingual margins.
4/4/2017DR. SARANG - S - HOTCHANDANI
42
43. Cementation of Molar Bands
All interior surfaces of orthodontic band must be coated with cement
before it is placed.
Place a gloved finger over the top of the band when it is carried to
place, to help in keeping cement on the gingival aspect of band.
Cement Materials;
Zinc phosphate
GIC
Resin modified GIC

45. Brackets
They are appliances that are fixed to
crown & mediate forces applied by
the arch wire & auxiliaries on tooth.

48. Bonding of Bracket
Bonding is based on the mechanical locking
of an adhesive to irregularities in the enamel
surface of the tooth and to mechanical locks
formed in the base of bracket.
Brackets are mechanically bonded to tooth
surface. Chemical bonded is avoided because
it will create problems in debonding of
bracket
Bonding Materials in
Orthodontics
Light cured bis – GMA resin
Self-cured or light cured
composites
GIC
Less decalcification because of fluoride
release
Less strength & greater chance of loos
brackets
4/4/2017DR. SARANG - S - HOTCHANDANI
48
49. Types of Bonding Bracket
DIRECT BONDING
places the brackets on the teeth
individually at the chairside; and
Advantages; easier, faster, less expensive
Disadvantage; no proper position of
bracket
INDIRECT BONDING
places the brackets on study models in the
laboratory and these are transferred to the teeth
using a positioning tray. it is used when placing
lingual fixed appliances.
Advantages
greater accuracy of bracket positioning
Disadvantage
extra cost and time

50. 1)Cleaning the tooth
surface, to remove any
pellicle using a slow
hand piece and prophy
brush or cup;
1)Acid-etching the
enamel surface using
37% unbuffered
phosphoric acid for 20
– 30 seconds;
Washing and drying
the tooth surface
1)Placing unfilled
primer on the etched
area of the tooth;
Placing composite resin
on the bracket base
Positioning the bracket
on the tooth crown
Cleaning up excess
composite from around
the bracket base
Curing the composite,
either chemically or
with a blue light source

53. 1)The teeth are isolated, etched, and a chemically cured two-paste resin is painted on the etched enamel
and the brackets. Then, the transfer trays are inserted. D, After the resin has completely set, the trays are
carefully removed, leaving the brackets bonded to the teeth.
After the brackets are cured in the ideal position, a transfer tray is formed from a vinyl polysiloxane putty
The trays are removed from the working cast after soaking in warm water and trimmed
1)Brackets are placed precisely as desired on a cast of the teeth and held in place with a filled resin.

55. De Banding &
De Bonding
4/4/2017DR. SARANG - S - HOTCHANDANI
55
56. Removal of Molar Band
Distort the band with force which
will break the cement away from
band & tooth and remove it.
4/4/2017DR. SARANG - S - HOTCHANDANI
56
57. Removal of Bracket
When bracket is one of the following things happen;
Breakage b/w cement & bracket (preferred)
Breakage within the cement material itself
Breakage b/w enamel surface & cement (least desired)
The safest way to remove metal bracket is to distort the bracket base, which cause breakage b/w
bracket & cement.
This damages the bracket and it cannot be reused.
Ceramic brackets on removal damages the enamel because they break before bend. 4/4/2017DR. SARANG - S - HOTCHANDANI

61. Characteristics of Contemporary Brackets
– CERAMIC BRACKETS
Durable, resist staining, dimensionally stable
Types of ceramic bracket based on the material;
Polycrystalline alumina
Polycrystalline alumina with metal slot
Monocrystalline alumina
4/4/2017DR. SARANG - S - HOTCHANDANI
61
62. Problems with Ceramic Brackets
Fracture of bracket
Friction within bracket slot
Attrition on teeth contacting the bracket
That’s why mostly placed on upper teeth
only.
Enamel damage on bracket removal
Chemical bonding which is strong,
mechanical bonding difficult in ceramic
bracket.
Brittle, that’s why they are made bulky
and act as wide bracket. (effects of wide
bracket learnt in 9th chapter)
4/4/2017DR. SARANG - S - HOTCHANDANI
62
64. Straight Wire Concept in Bracket
Compensation for 1st order
bends;
For anterior teeth and premolars,
changing the bracket thickness
eliminate in – out bends in
anterior portion of arch wire. But
molar tube on molar bend should
be offset position to prevent
molar rotation.
4/4/2017DR. SARANG - S - HOTCHANDANI
64
65. Straight Wire Concept in Bracket
Because for good occlusion, the buccal surface of
molar must sit at an angle to line of occlusion.
Mesio buccal cusp more prominent
That’s why the tube on the molar band should be
at least 10 degree offset for maxillary molar.
On mandibular molar it should be 5 – 7 degrees.
4/4/2017DR. SARANG - S - HOTCHANDANI
65
66. Straight Wire Concept in Bracket
A distal inclination or tip of the maxillary first
molar is important for proper posterior
occlusal interdigitating. If the mesiobuccal
cusp occludes in the mesial groove of the
mandibular first molar, creating an
apparently ideal Class I relationship, proper
interdigitating of the premolars still cannot
be obtained if the molar is positioned too
upright
Tipping the molar distally allows the
premolars to interdigitate properly 4/4/2017DR. SARANG - S - HOTCHANDANI
66
67. Self Ligating Brackets
In this ligatures are not
needed for holding wire,
but the mechanism for
retention of wire is built
within the brackets.
Types of self – ligating brackets;
Springy latching cap
Smart clip system
Springy retaining clips
Innovation system
Speed system
Rigid latching caps
Damon system
4/4/2017DR. SARANG - S - HOTCHANDANI

69. Orthodontic Archwires
During initial alignment phase;
NiTi wire
Stainless steel wire
Coaxial wire
To complete the process of levelling, beginning of overbite reduction, sliding of teeth along arch
wire;
Round Stainless steel wire
Arch wires during the later stages of overbite reduction and for space closure;
Rectangular stainless steel wire
4/4/2017DR. SARANG - S - HOTCHANDANI
69
70. Orthodontic Archwires
NiTi wire is ideal for aligning teeth during initial stages of Tx.
However, for later stages, space closure & overbite reduction, NiTi cannot
be used.
In the initial stages of treatment, a wire which is flexible with good
resistance to permanent deformation is desirable, so that displaced
teeth can be aligned without the application of excessive forces.
4/4/2017DR. SARANG - S - HOTCHANDANI
70
71. Orthodontic Archwires
Initial Alignment (minimum stiffness, maximum range)
Ni-Ti wire
Multi-stranded wires
Mid Treatment
(Series of working wires with increasing stiffness and reduced range)
Finishing & Detailing
(Maximum Stiffness, snuggly fit rectangular wire)
4/4/2017DR. SARANG - S - HOTCHANDANI
71
73. Auxiliaries
They are used to apply active forces for
space opening or closure.
Elastic materials can be used for intra-arch
(intra-maxillary) space closure, and springs
constructed from stainless steel or nickel
titanium can be used for space opening.
Types of Auxiliaries;
Elastic bands
Wire ligatures
Intra oral elastics
Palatal or lingual arches
Coiled springs
Power chains
