4. Evolution of the bracket.
Edgewise Appliance:
Angle’s - edgewise appliance - place the teeth
according to - ‘line of occlusion’.
metal bracket - rectangular slot- 0.022 x 0.028”.
Original soft gold bracket - easily deformed by
the forces of occlusion & ligature wires
The original design - modified - slightly larger
bracket- tying area under the wings.

5. Single Width Bracket :
narrow width - ineffective tooth
rotation. Angle, - gold eyelets on the orthodontic bands.
Two brackets-single tooth.
Twin Brackets :
two edgewise brackets on a common base.
‘Siamese twin bracket’ by Swain
Space between two brackets - 0.050 inch =
width of one bracket.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
6. The bases - curved to conform - curvatures of
the canines &PM.
some deflection of the bracket from the basepresent –controlled to a great extent .
This bracket offers ‘positive control’ on the tooth .
Disadvantage.
Interbracket span is greatly reduced causing
decrease in resiliency of wires .

7. Lewis Bracket :
Lewis soldered auxiliary rotation arms.
abutted against the bracket itself - lever arm
-deflect the archwire and rotate the tooth.
Vertical Slot Lewis Bracket :
A vertical slot 0.020 x 0.020 inch.
Uprighting springs - correct axial inclinations

8. Steiner Bracket :
Flexible rotation arm.
The flexibility - arms - a rotational effect .
Broussard Bracket :
Graffard Broussard –
0.0185 x 0.046 inch vertical slot –
accept a doubled 0.018 inch auxiliary wire

9. Later modifications:
Burstone modified canine bracket a vertical tube - retraction assemblies.
Edgelock Bracket and Hanson Speed
Appliance Bracket :
These brackets eliminate the need for
ligature ties as they possess self ligating
mechanism.

10. Holdaway - 1952
angulated brackets on the teeth adjacent
to extraction spaces:
aid in paralleling the roots .
setting up posterior anchorage.
obtaining correct axial inclinations or ‘artistic
positioning’ of the teeth.
John J. Stifter -1958
U.S. patent - designing an edgewise
bracket comprising a male and female
component

11. Female part - attached to the tooth.
Many interchangeable male components –
various - inclination , angulation and prominence.
First edgewise bracket - guidance into all three
planes of space .
did not address optimal tooth position &
too many separate parts - needed .

12. Ivan Lee -1960:
Torqued slots - regional and basic
edgewise bracket.
to eliminate - adding torque - anterior portion of
the upper archwire.
Manufacturers – 1960:
raised the base of lateral incisors.
Raised bases eliminated the need for
lateral offset bends.

& ‘Translation series’ for extraction cases .
Roth -1976:

torque and rotations.
purpose of Roth - over corrected tooth positioning.
appliance in position - impossible to position the
teeth precisely into occlusion.
After appliance removal –
the teeth will shift slightly.

14. Alexander – 1983 :
Vari – simplex discipline .
Vari - variety of bracket types used ;
simplex - KISS principle. ( Keep it Simple Sir )
Discipline was chosen rather than the appliance.

inaccuracies of bracket placement ,
anatomic and biologic variations ,

Origin of appl. & Six keys – interrelated.
Series of five studies.
1st – 1960 – examination of post trt. dental
casts – asses state of art – static occl.
2nd – 1964 – casts of dentitions – naturally
occuring optimal occl. 120 samples –
collected.
Never subjected to ortho trt.
Aligned & pleasing
Excelent occlsn.
Would not benefit from ortho trt.

17. 3rd – most imp step fully programmed appl.
Discovery – six keys to optimal occlsn.
4th – measurements – crown in 120 cast
sample.
- supply data – consistency – shape & position
of each tooth type
consistency – relative size – within an arch.
Help in design – new appl.

Six factors.Each factor –
Slot misdirected > 2°, optimal angulation &
inclination.
> 0.5 mm occluso gingivally, Mesio distally, Facio
lingually.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
21. Factors are:
Br. Base perpendicular to br. Stem..
Br. Base not contoured occluso gingivally.
Slots are not angulated.
Br. Stem – equal facio lingual thickness.
Max. molar offset not built in.
Bracket siting tech. – unsatisfactory.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
22. Perpendicular bases.
Base per. – F-L axis of stem.
Each crown – its own optimal inclination.
Br. When sited – base point to FA point of
each crown –
target slots – that many difft. inclinations &
occluso gingival levels
www.indiandentalacademy.com
23. Bases not contoured occluso gingivally:
Br. Unintentionally rocked – occl. Or
gingivally.
Potential inclination range - > 2°
Occluso gingival range - > 0.5mm.

25. Slots not angulated.
When located on FACC’s & FA points of optimally
positioned crowns – slot angulations & Occl – gingival posn.
– not harmonious with Andrews plane.

Mid transverse plane.
Separates crowns occl. half form gingival half.
It should coincide with MT plane – slot.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
32. To achieve this –
Feature 1: MT plane of slot, stem & crown
same.
Feature 2: base of br.- same inclination –
facial
plane of crown – FA point.

These three eliminate the need for:
2nd order bends – occluso-gingival disharmony.
3rd order bends – inclination.

36. Feature 6:
Base of each br. – contoure to match – Md
radius of area of crown – designed to fit.
Feature 7.
Vertical components ( Mesial & distal
borders of br. Stem & tie wings) –
designed to parallel one another.
Horizontal components –
When sited equidistant – gingiva & cusp tip
–Base point – mate with crowns FA point.

Feature 8.
In an arch – all slot points – same dist. – from
crowns embrasure line.
Convenience features.
A design feature – facilitates – use by
orthodontist or promotes comfort for the
Patient – does not contribute to biological
aspect of trt. Or targeting the slot.

52. List of SWA brackets.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
53. Roth Prescription:
Standard Straight-Wire brackets – treat
only nonextraction cases.
Andrews - different series and sets of brackets
- different combinations of extractions,
-ANB differentials, &
-anchorage requirements.
inventory - becoming a problem
Roth - prescription for a special set of
overcorrection brackets - applicable to most
cases.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
54. Problems Roth noticed:
achieve desired tooth positions - standard
SWA, - mechanotherapy phase of treatment –
compensating curves – upper &
- reverse curves - lower archwires.
anchorage control, - extraction cases,
mesial inclination - in the buccal segments segments drift mesially during treatment.
Teeth posn.- end of the appliance therapy settle into non-orthodontic normal positions
www.indiandentalacademy.com
55. This was the beginning of the Roth Prescription.
Roth’s reasoning:
use primarily one prescription - finish to an
"end of appliance therapy" goal
tooth positions are slightly overcorrected &
teeth - settle into non-orthodontic normal
positions.
Overcorrection
overcorrection - comprehensive prescription
using - Andrews extraction brackets.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
56. Roth’s observations:
single prescription with overcorrection in all planes
of space &
Meet - "Six Keys to Normal Occlusion"
Avoid offset bends into archwires—
finishing with full-size wires –
only arch form bent &
flat - curve of Spee or compensating bends.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
57. Maxillary prescription:
maxillary incisors- extra torque (5° more than
normal).
upper canines - less negative torque. 2°
more distal tip, because - retracted in most
treatment.
2° rotation to the mesial.
"Super Torque" - maxillary anteriors - Class
II, division 2
www.indiandentalacademy.com
58. buccal segments - distally uprighted to 0°,
the bicuspids- rotated 2° mesially,
molars -14° distal rotation (2x, > nonorthodontic normals) &
14° buccal root torque (5° more than
normal).
www.indiandentalacademy.com
59. Mandibular prescription:
Incisor brackets - same - non-orthodontic
normals
Canines - 7° mesial tip and 2° distal rotation.
Lower buccal segment - 3° distal tip & 4°
distal rotation.
necessitate extra distal rotation.
buccal segments - torque - normal,
(overcorrection to problems and
interferences)
Two lower molars -the same degree of root
torque
www.indiandentalacademy.com
60. Root Positions
Root positions of a set of extracted teeth –
Roth Prescription - overcorrection in appliance
& in arch form.
Overcorrection - extracted teeth –never
expressed intraorally
www.indiandentalacademy.com
62. Reasons:
Angle of deflection – b/w- bracket slot & the
archwire.
force values drop low – below threshold.
The teeth - relapse back to their original
positions.
Need to build in offsets - undesirable side
effects of tooth-moving mechanics.
