2D Bracket Positioning Gauge
June 2009
Bracket placement is one of the most important keys to a successful orthodontic treatment outcome as stated by Roth. The need for accurate bracket positioning began after the introduction of the Pre-adjusted Edgewise Appliances (PEA).
Frictional Resistance of Ceramic Brackets When Subjected to Variable Tipping Moments
September 2004
As a bracket and tooth move along an archwire, friction opposes such movement. Friction can be a major factor determining the efficiency of an orthodontic appliance. Friction increases the force necessary to move teeth, slows tooth movement and contributes to the loss of anchorage.
Practical Techniques for Achieving Improved Accuracy in Bracket Positioning
October 1999
Richard P. McLaughlin, D.D.S., John C. Bennett, D.D.S., and Hugo Trevisi, D.D.S. Accuracy of bracket positioning is essential, so that the built-in features of the bracket system can be fully and efficiently expressed. This helps treatment mechanics and improves the consistency of the results. The authors use the following techniques, and recommend them. Bonding and [...]
Shear Strength of APC Brackets Bonded to Extracted Teeth
December 1998
This study compares bond strengths of two bracket/bonding systems and evaluates whether or not different priming agent or shelf life affects bonding strength of adhesive precoated brackets.
