2. FIXED ORTHODONTIC
APPLIANCES
• Advantages:1)Precise tooth control is possible.
2)Multiple tooth movement is possible.
3)Patient co-operation is reduced.
• Disadvantage:1)Difficult to maintain oral hygiene.
2)Unesthetic
www.indiandentalacademy.com
3. 3)Special training required.
4)Increased cost of treatment.
5)Increased chair side time.
6)Anchorage control is difficult.
a) Active components:
1)Separatorsthey are used to create space between
two adjacent teeth generally for the
purpose of banding.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
4. i)Soft brass wires:
-0.5-0.6mm diameter wire
passed interdentally &
twisted to create space.
-Painful & can cause
gingival trauma.
ii)Ring separators:
-Small elastic rings that are
stretched & passed
through interdental
contacts with separator
placing pliers.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
5. iii) Dumb-bell
separators:
- Dumb-bell shaped
pieces of elastics that
is stretched & passed
through the contact
between adjacent
teeth.
- The elastics of the
separators constricts
over a period of time
to regain it’s original
space & cause
separation.

6. 2)Elastics:-Can be of latex or no
latex.Non latex deteriotes
less than latex in oral
environment.
i) Class I elastics:
It is used for closing the
extraction space.
ii) Class II elastics:
These intermaxillary elastics
are used to produce intrusion
of maxillary anterior or
decrease the overjet by
retracting maxillary anterior
teeth.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
7. iii) Class III elastics:
Used in treatment of
Class III malocclusion
to bring about
retraction of
mandibular anterior &
protraction of maxillary
molars.
iv)Diagonal elastics:
For correction of midline
deviations
www.indiandentalacademy.com
8. 3) Elastomerics:
Made up of synthetic
polyurethane material
i)
Elastic chain:
-Also called E chain.
-Mainly used for space
closure.
ii) Elastic threads:
-Made of specialized
elasticized cotton.
-Used to exert forces which
are used to correct
derotations & reduction
of anterior spacing.

9. b)Passive appliance:
i) Bands:
These are the metal attachment that are cemented to
individual teeth provide a place for attachment of
other auxillaries like buccal tubes, lingual buttons, etc.
They can be soldered or welded on band.Banding is
preferred on tooth that are likely to experience
excessive forces.
ii) Brackets:
A bracket is defined as a device that projects horizontally to
support auxillaries & is open on one side usually in
vertical & horizontal direction.

10. Classification:
1) According to type of slota)Ribbon arch
b)Edgewise
2) Based on mode of attachmenta)Weldable
b)Bondable
3)Based on material used to fabricate the
bracketa)Metallic
b)Ceramic
c)Plastic
