Introduction:




Aristotle said "Beauty is a greater
recommendation than any letter of
introduction".

The term “Esthetic” refers to an
understanding of beauty.

www.indiandentalacademy.com




Esthetics which is derived from greek
word for “aisthetikos”, deals with beauty
and the beautiful.

Lombardi defined “Dental Esthetics” by
the way things were perceived visually.



Harmony between the dominant features
of a face contributes to creating a beautiful
face.



The "Facial Dominant Features" are

1.

Smile with its components.
Teeth, gingiva and lips.
Eyes and facial frame.

2.
3.

Golden Proportion
Beautiful Proportion




Greeks who tried to formulate beauty as an
exact mathematical concept.
"Golden Proportion” – Leonardo da vinci
The Golden Proportion, phi, has been observed to
evoke emotion or aesthetic feelings within us. The
ancient Egyptians used it in the construction of the great
pyramids and in the design of hieroglyphs found on
tomb walls. At another time, thousands of miles away,
the ancients of Mexico embraced phi while building the
Sun Pyramid at Teotihuacan.
www.indiandentalacademy.com






The Greeks studied phi closely through their
mathematics and used it in their architecture
Renowned artists such as Michelangelo, Raphael, and
Leonardo da Vinci made use of it for they knew of its
appealing qualities.
Evidence suggests that classical music composed by
Mozart, Beethoven, and Bach embraces phi.

"Beautiful Proportion” – Plato
"The good, of course, is always beautiful, and
the beautiful never lacks proportion”- Plato

Evaluating esthetics in Dentist’s chair
Lombardi remarked that detailed esthetic
judgments can only be made by viewing
patients from front, in conversation, using
facial expressions, and smiling.

Evolution of orthodontic materials


Like metallurgy, dentistry has a long history of artistic
creativity.



Over 4500 years ago when the metal worker was
sweating copper from malachite for weapons, making
primitive tools from „„bia‟ n pet‟‟ (meteoric iron), and
separating gold from crushed quartz stone literally using
what became known as the Golden Fleece, the
„„Toother‟‟ was likely splinting the teeth of the Egyptian
court.
www.indiandentalacademy.com




Time passed from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age
and the Industrial Revolution until, in the latter half
of the 19th century
Henry Clifton Sorby (1863–1887) and Edward
Hartley Angle(1886–1930) professionally ascended
to become the pioneers of modern metallography and
modern orthodontics, respectively

www.indiandentalacademy.com
THE BEGINNINGS








Teeth were regarded by the ancients as very precious to
the extent that „„. . . special penalties [were exacted] for
knocking out the teeth of an individual, either freeman or
slave.‟‟
As early as 400 BC, Hippocrates referenced in his
writings the correction of tooth irregularities
And while Greece was in its Golden Age, the Etruscans
(the precursors of the Romans) were burying their dead
with appliances that were used to maintain space and
prevent collapse of the dentition during life.
Then in a Roman tomb inEgypt, Breccia finds a number
of teeth bound withwww.indiandentalacademy.com
a gold wire


And at the time of Christ, Aurelius Cornelius Celsus first
records the treatment of teeth by finger pressure

EARLY CONTRIBUTORS








The French and English dominated the earliest
contributions to the field of orthodontics, which as yet
had not been formally named
In 1819 Delabarre introduces the wire crib, and this
marks the birth of contemporary orthodontics
In the second half of the 19th century(ca 1865), Kingsley
advocates plates as retaining devices
In the early part of the 20th century, Angle would tout
this device as one of the best tooth maintainers



The percentage of orthodontic patients increased dramatically
in mid 80s to 25 % total orthodontic patients



Early commercially available aesthetic products included both
plastic brackets and ceramic brackets



The first transparent bracket material-1960(Newman)



The first plastic brackets were manufactured from unfilled
poly carbonate (early1970s)
www.indiandentalacademy.com
•

Initially an aesthetic alternative to metal brackets

But short lived,because
•

Staining and odour

•

Lack of strength and stiffness

•

Tie wing fractures

•

Permanent deformation(creep) over constant load

•

Poly carbonate bracet slots distorted with time uder aconstant
physiologic stress(2000 gm-mm)
www.indiandentalacademy.com


Sadat-Konsari et al study on torque deformation characteristics
of seven commercially available plastic brackets (metal slot
reinforced bracket,poly urethane,pure poly carbonate and fiber
glass reinforced in plastic brackets) that,



plastic brackets are only suited for clinical application if they
have a metal slots

www.indiandentalacademy.com


Plastic brackets are not as hard as ceramics, a fact which may
be an advantage rather than a disadvantage.



Since it is generally thought that the harder a material is, the
more it will wear an opposing material softer than Itself
(Monasky.1971).



Plastic brackets will not wear or chip enamel. if occluded
upon.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Bond strength


A wide variation exists in the results of different studies on
bond strength with regard to the types of brackets, so that
direct comparison of results is not feasible.

The factors that may contribute to these differences include



the choice of composite,



the type of testing equipment used,
www.indiandentalacademy.com


-the orientation of the applied force,



-the storage medium of the extracted teeth,



-the bracket material, and



-whether the bracket base has a mechanical or chemical

union to the composite resin (Crow. 1995).

www.indiandentalacademy.com
•

These materials are not cross-linked and the brackets may
also undergo drifting when subjected to temperatures
slightly higher than those In the mouth

•

Diacrylate cements used with plastic brackets were found
not to bond well to them without plastic bracket primers

•

A bonding system, based on a unique thermosetting
combination of mono- and dia-crylates and a high
molecular weight polymeric filler, was developed to
Improve the bond strength of polycarbonate brackets
www.indiandentalacademy.com


At present the new generations of plastic brackets are suitable
for almost all adhesive systems.



No-mix adhesives or light-cure bonding materials with a
supplementary primer are recommended by the orthodontic
companies.



The adhesives with their own plastic primer demonstrated
higher bond strength values than those without plastic primer



Satisfactory bond strength values were observed for
polycarbonate brackets with no-mix orthodontic bonding resins
and highly filled, self cured diacrylate cements (Blalock and
Powers, 1995 Nkenke e1 al.. 1997)

www.indiandentalacademy.com


Among the factors that may cause these differences are
geometry of the wings, presence of metallic reinforcement,
sharp edges and geometry of the base.



Large and thick bases, rounded contours and provision for
mechanical retention were factor associated with improved
bond strength with the plastic brackets



The new ranges of plastic brackets offer a mechanical locking
base, providing more bonding surface for mechanical retention
with the adhesive.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Disadvantage polycarbonate brackets
•

•

•

Polycarbonate brackets undergo creep deformation when
transferring torque loads generated by arch wires to the teeth
Discoloration of first generation unfilled polycarbonate
brackets during clinical aging.
They absorb water to a slight extent and tend to weaken in
the course of about one year (Newman 1973).

Aluminium oxide crystal structure
consists of a nearly Hexagonal
close pack (HCP) arrangement of
the larger oxygen anions (O2-),
with smaller aluminium cations
(Al3+), located in two- thirds of the
octahedral interstitial sites in the
HCP structure.These octahedral
sites have six-fold coordination,
i.e.,each aluminium ion is
surrounded by six oxygen ions

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Manufacturing process
Mono crystalline brackets:
Heating aluminum oxide to temperatures in excess of 2100 c
Then, cooled slowly, and the bracket is machined (sintering
process)
-

From the resulting crystal cut them in different shapes and
dimensions of various brackets, using ultrasonic cutting
techniques, diamond cutting, or combination of two

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Poly crystalline brackets:
-manufactured by blending
aluminum oxide particles
with a binder
-temperatures above 1800 c
are used to burnout the
binder and fuse together and
fused together the particles
of the molded mixture
Then ,
it is heat treated to remove
surface imperfections and
relieve stresses created by
the cutting operation www.indiandentalacademy.com

Advantage of the process:A relatively inexpensive process that yields large quantities

Disadvantage this process
- Presence of structural imperfections at grain boundaries or
of trace amounts of impurities

Impurities in quantities as minute as 0.001 percent or slight
imperfections can serves as foci for crack propagation under
stress
www.indiandentalacademy.com




Alternative method of making polycrystalline brackets is
injecting molding
Advantage is eliminates structural imperfections created by
cutting process

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Disadvantage of poly crystalline brackets



The larger the ceramic grains ,the greater the translucency.
But,
as the grain size increases the material tends to be weaker.
it is up to 30 microns

Poly crystalline brackets begins as aluminum particles of
about 0.3 microns reached 20-30 microns.

Base Characteristic of Ceramic Brackets


two types of ceramic bracket bases are available

Bonding mechanisms that have been identified for ceramic
brackets may be classified into three major categories:
a)
Mechanical retention employing large recesses.
b)
Chemical adhesion facilitated by the use of a silane layer.
c)
Micromechanical retention through the utilization of a
number of configurations, including protruding crystals,
grooves, a porous surface, and spherical glass particles.


www.indiandentalacademy.com
1. bracket base is formed with undercuts or grooves that provide
a mechanical interlock to the adhesive.
 The mechanical retention of such brackets is less as compared
to other bracket base that are having both micromechanical
retention and chemical adhesion.
2.Bracket base has a smooth surface and relies on a chemical
coating to enhance bond strength.
 A silane coupling agent is used as a chemical mediator
between the adhesive resin and the bracket base.
 It has been claimed that chemical adhesion provided higher
bondstrength when compared with mechanical
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Silane coating of bracket bases






The coupling agent -methacryl oxypropyl trimethoxy silane
( -MPTS) has been used for promoting chemical adhesion
between surfaces.
The -MPTS is hydrolysed to the corresponding silanol. A
limited number of silanol groups per silanol molecule are
hydrogen-bonded to the water layer adsorbed on the base
surface.
Side chain silanols are condensed, establishing a siloxane
network that stabilizes the structure.

www.indiandentalacademy.com


Owing to the silanol orientation toward the bracket base,
methacrylate groups are placed in a configuration that favours
cross-linking with the methacrlate-based adhesive.

Bonding arises from two mechanisms:


Silanol groups of the hydrolysed silane adhere to the hydration
layer of the inorganic surfaces



Methacrylate groups of the silane copolymerize with the
methacrylate resin matrix, forming covalent bonds
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Recently another two
developments………


polycrystalline alumina with a rough base comprised of
either randomly oriented sharp crystals or spherical glass
particles.



These brackets provide only micromechanical inter locking
with the orthodontic adhesive
www.indiandentalacademy.com


In an attempt to overcome the potential damage of enamel
during debonding, a ceramic bracket with a thin
polycarbonate laminate coating on the base has been
manufactured (CeramaFlex, TP Orthodontics)

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Ceramic brackets with different base types
Viazis (1990) compared the shear bond strength for two types of
ceramic brackets and concluded that,
The shear bond strength of silane chemical bonded ceramic
brackets is significantly higher than the grooved mechanical
bonded ceramic brackets.

Physical Properties of Ceramic Brackets


Hardness,



Tensile strength and



Fracture toughness or brittleness

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Hardness of ceramic and enamel wear





Extremely high hardness due to aluminum oxide
Ceramic brackets are 9 times harder than stainless steel or
enamel(Swartz1988)
Douglass (1989) gave a clinical report of enamel damage
found on the lingual surfaces of maxillary central incisors
that were in contact with poly-crystalline sapphire ceramic
brackets placed on the facial surfaces of lower incisors. This is
because, when natural tooth surfaces have opposing contact
with ceramic brackets in occlusion, due to the hardness of
ceramics enamel damage may occur.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Tensile strength






Tensile strength is much higher in mono crystalline alumina
than in poly crystalline alumina
Tensile strength characteristics of ceramics depend on the
condition of the surface of the ceramic
Metal brackets deforms 20% under stress before fracturing
whereas ,ceramic brackets deforms less than 1% before failing.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Fracture Toughness or Brittleness


Ceramics used in orthodontic brackets have highly
localized, directional atomic bonds. This oxidized atomic
lattice does not permit shifting of bonds and redistribution
of stress.



When stresses reach critical levels, the interatomic bonds
break and material failure occurs. This is called “brittle
failure”.

www.indiandentalacademy.com


Fracture toughness is a measure of the strain energyabsorbing ability prior to fracture for a brittle material. The
higher the fracture toughness, the more difficult it is to
propagate a crack in the material.



Vickers hardness testing machine is used to test the fracture
toughness of ceramic brackets. Microscopic indentations are
placed on the surface of bracket and the associated cracks at
the tip of the indentation are evaluated.

www.indiandentalacademy.com


Fracture behaviour is controlled by the influence of surface
cracks and other microscopic defects or internal pores. These
are called “Griffith flaws”.



Fracture toughness of ceramics is 20 to 40 times less than that
of stainless steel (Scott 1988)

2.

The brittle nature of ceramic brackets has resulted in a
higher incidence of bracket failure (fracture) during
debonding Ceramic compounds, unlike metals, are also
susceptible to crack propagation
The combination of very hard and brittle properties and high
bond strength leads to reports of two significant problems.
Bracket fracture specifically during debonding
Enamel fracture which may occur during function but mostly
during debonding.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Optical properties
•

Single crystal brackets are clearer than polycrystalline
brackets.
The sintering process produces a polycrystalline
alumina microstructure with grain boundaries, resulting in
some translucency.

•

There is loss of light transmission through the ceramic .

•

Optical properties and strength are inversely related for the
polycrystalline alumina ceramics .

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Why Enamel and Bracket Get Fracture?


Enamel fractures is due to the high bond strength of ceramic
brackets.



However, most of the adhesives available in the market have
adequate bond strength to resist orthodontic forces.

Frictional Resistance
•

•

•

•

•

Polycrystalline brackets have a higher co-efficient of friction
than monocrystalline ceramic and stainless steel
This is due to their rougher and more porous surface.
Ceramic brackets manufactured by machining - significantly
greater rough surface.
Omana, Moore and Bagby reported that
ceramic brackets manufactured by injection-molding
technique had less friction than other ceramic brackets.
They also found that wider brackets had less friction than
narrower brackets
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Tie-wing strength
•

Photoelastic studies and finite-element analyses have shown
that
tie-wings are generally the locations of concentrated stresses
when forces are applied to the ceramic brackets.



Tie-wing fractures have been much more common for the
single-crystal alumina brackets because of their lower
resistance to crack propagation.

www.indiandentalacademy.com


Sonneveld et al (1994)
compared the breaking force in compression for alumina
and zirconia brackets and found that zirconia brackets did not
experience any tie wing fractures, but instead underwent
visually perceptible deformation prior to bulk fracture.

www.indiandentalacademy.com


Research using finite element analysis has indicated that
brackets possessing an isthmus connecting the tie-wings
demonstrated better stress tolerance than those without this
feature.

ELASTOMERICS

www.indiandentalacademy.com
ELASTOMERICS


Elastomer is a general term which
encompasses materials that after substantial
deformation rapidly returns to their original
dimensions.



Strictly speaking, elastic is an elastomeric
material whose threads are interwoven with
strands of rubber.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
HISTORY OF DEVELOPMENT
Natural Elastomers - Natural rubber probably used by the
ancient Indian and Malay civilizations, was the first
known elastomer.


It had limited use because of its unfavorable temperature
behavior and water adsorption properties.



With the advent of vulcanization by Charles Goodyear in
1839, uses for natural rubber greatly increased.
www.indiandentalacademy.com


Early advocates of natural latex rubber elastics in
Orthodontics include Baker, Case and Angle

Recent Advancements


Recently, polynorbornen, a shape memory plastic
developed in Japan in 1983 has been tried
experimentally for intra-oral usage.



This plastic has a glass transitional point of 350 C.
Once the environmental temperature exceeds the
critical point, this plastic will begin to display an elastic
property, then return to its original shape, if deformed
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Fluoride releasing elastomerics :


Advances in the field of elastomerics are the
introduction of fluoride releasing elastomerics. Long
term fluoride releases in the area adjacent to bracket –
adhesive margins is of significance.



There is a steep decline in rate of fluoride ion elution
after 3 weeks.



Fluoride – releasing elastomerics are unable to deliver
force within the optimal range for tooth moment.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Elastomeric Ligatures
Preferred over S. S ligatures
 Ease of application.
 Patient friendly nature.
 Aesthetic appearance.
 Potential of fluoride release.
 Decreased force delivery.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
•They are available in a range of diameters and thickness
and are often colored to encourage patient motivation.
•They are also available in various colors
www.indiandentalacademy.com


The staining of clear elastomeric modules used to
ligate ceramic and tooth coloured brackets is a
problem.



The study by Kenneth K.K found that elastomeric
modules get stained by many food products, coffee
and tea being the main culprits.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Elastomeric E Link Modules


Elastomeric E link modules with connecting
filaments are excellent for rotating individual tooth or
closing intra arch space.



Stamped from highly resilient opaque white or gray
material (T.P. Lab Inc.,) they provide gentle,
continuous force over long periods of time without
breakage

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Elastomeric chains :


Elastomeric chains of polyurethane nature is commonly
used to generate light continuous forces for canine
retraction, diastema closure, rotational corrections and
arch constriction



They can also be used for bringing a displaced tooth into
the line of the arch.



Available in a range of sizes which have different lengths
between the rings that fit over the brackets
www.indiandentalacademy.com
www.indiandentalacademy.com


This allows them to be used in a variety of clinical
situations such as moving lower incisors, where the inter
bracket distance is smaller than that used with upper
incisors and in situations where different forces are
needed in various parts of an arch



Chain elastics are thus most useful for closing small
space.

Disadvantages


When extended and exposed to oral environment, they
absorb water and saliva, permanently stain and suffer a
breakdown of internal bonds that leads to permanent
deformation.
www.indiandentalacademy.com


They are also difficult to clean and tend to accumulate
food debris.



If breakage occurs, there is the possibility of unwanted
tooth movement taking place, for example, space opening
at the site of failure.



They generally lose 50-70% of their initial force during
the first day of load application and at 3 weeks, retain
only 30-40% of the original force.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Draw backs







Though elastic ligatures are used during initial aligning
and leveling, their rapid force loss and permanent
deformation may preclude use for rotational and torque
corrections
Elastomeric chains are not inert in the oral environment.
The deleterious synergistic effect of loading and water
immersion is attributed to susceptibility to hydrolysis of
the ester or ether backbone linkages in polyurethanes.
This result in reduction of required to maintain fixed
extension.
Elastomeric ligatures may be ineffective for treatment
www.indiandentalacademy.com
applications involving large rotational moments.




The pH and temperature variations in the oral environment,
along with accumulation of plaque and formation of
microbial colonies on surface can affect the properties of
elastomerics.

Elastomeric modules experience a steep decline in force of
40 – 50% during first 24 hrs, which continues at a lower rate
for 2 to 3 weeks.
Force degradation arises form 2 processes in
elastomerics: Rapid mechanism i.e. responsible for the large initial
force loss.
 Relatively slow rate of force loss at longer periods of
time.

Teflon coated Ligature







No discoloration.
The coating wears off after 2-3 weeks and the metal
is exposed.
Produces less friction when compared with
elastomeric ligatures & stainless steel ligatures.
It generates lighter forces of engagement of the arch
wire into bracket slot.

Composite ligature




Fabricated from the acrylic monomer n- butyl
methacrylate and drawn poly ethylene fibers.
Due to stress relaxation properties within an

TOOTH COLORED ALIGNING
APPLIANCES- INVISALIGN


The Invisalign system was introduced at an orthodontic
meeting in 1999 and first described in a peer-reviewed
publication in 2000.



Controversy remains over whether the system is
appropriate for moderate-to-difficult malocclusions.



Early longitudinal clinical trials demonstrated successful
use of Invisalign for tipping movements, incisor rotations,
and closure of naturally occurring spaces.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Intra oral picture of Invisalign appliance

www.indiandentalacademy.com




The system is less effective in more difficult procedures
such as extraction space closure
Invisalign system (Align Technology,Santa Clara, Calif)
has become a popular treatment choice for clinicians
because of the esthetics and comfort of the removable
clear aligners compared with traditional appliances.



With the advent of 3-dimensional graphic imaging and
computer-aided design/computer-aided modeling
techniques



Align can accurately fabricate numerous aligners to
move many teeth with relative precision to provide
www.indiandentalacademy.com
comprehensive orthodontic treatment.
Indications for invisalign:


Include mild to moderate crowding (1-6 mm), mild to
moderate spacing (1-6 mm), nonskeletal constricted
arches, and relapse after fixed appliance therapy

In 2003, Align Technology formed a Clinical




Advisory Board (CAB) consisting of 13 orthodontists
who had used Invisalign treatment extensively in their
practices
This group decided to adopt a new protocol already
being used by several of its members
www.indiandentalacademy.com
The principles of this new protocol are as follows:






1. Simultaneous movement of all involved teeth(Similar
to the use of light archwires and low-friction brackets for
leveling and alignment) this creates the space needed for
tooth movement and slows down the movement of all
teeth except the one requiring the greatest number of
stages to be corrected at a given velocity (the
“determining tooth”)
2.Use of beveled 1mm (buccolingual
dimension)horizontal rectangular premolar attachments
for retention of aligners during intrusive movements
3.Use of 1mm vertical rectangular attachments for
rotation of round teeth or canines, as well as translation
of teeth adjacent to www.indiandentalacademy.com
an extraction site








4.Slowing down certain types of tooth
movement,including rotation, extrusion, torquing, and
bodily movement, below the previous standard velocity
of .25mm per stage
5.Maintaining visible space (approximately
.1mm)between teeth during movement of one tooth past
another.
6.Using expansion instead of interproximal reduction as a
primary method of increasing the space available for
correction of crowding.
7. Delaying any interproximal reduction that may be
needed to correct Bolton discrepancies and other toothsize issues until the teeth are aligned,to avoid removing
enamel at an angle. www.indiandentalacademy.com

LINGUAL ORTHODONTICS

www.indiandentalacademy.com


Adult patients present with unique challenge, of
wanting to look good even during orthodontic
treatment.



Some orthodontists thought of placing braces on
the lingual side, leaving the labial surface
untouched.



Thus was born the methodology of lingual
orthodontics.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
History
1889 by John Farrar. "lingual removable arch"
1918, Dr. John Mershon "The Removable
Lingual Arch as an Appliance for the
Treatment of Malocclusion of the Teeth".
1922 Mershon's presentation on labial and
lingual arches with finger springs
www.indiandentalacademy.com
History


March 1942 , Dr. Oren Oliver gave a clinic on
a labiolingual appliance



Mid-'50s, Dr. William Wilson demonstrated a
labio-loop-lingual appliance

www.indiandentalacademy.com
History


The orthodontic company Ormco in
conjunction with Dr. Wildman, had attempted
to develop a system to align the dentition using
the lingual approach.



Consisted of a Pedicle positioner.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
History
In early 1970s
Dr. Craven Kurz, an assistant
professor at UCLA school of
dentistry, developed Lingual
system.
A particular patient , because
of her public position refused
metal or plastic labial
appliance.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
History


After much advice (Dr. Jim Mulick), Dr. Kurz
developed first True lingual appliance.
The turning point in the
development of the appliance
was the addition of an anterior
inclined plane as an integral
part of the maxillary incisor
brackets .
www.indiandentalacademy.com
History


This inclined plane converted the shearing forces
produced by the mandibular incisors to
compressive forces applied in an intrusive and
labial direction.



It was this design that, Dr.Kurz applied on a
patent for the Kurz Lingual Appliance on
November 15, 1976.
www.indiandentalacademy.com


The lingual task force pioneers Dr. Kurz,
Gorman and Smith were the first to conduct
courses on the Edgewise lingual appliance.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
History


Dr. Vince Kelly of Oklahoma and
Dr. Steve Paige of Florida were the first to start
giving courses using Begg appliance lingually.



Dr. Dilier Fillon of France is the only
orthodontist to have restricted his practice to
lingual orthodontics exclusively.



Dr. Lorenzo Favero, Italy, was first to treat
children and adolescents with LO.

ADVANTAGES
&
DISADVANTAGES

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Advantages Of LO
 Esthetic role.

 Decreased plaque accumulation

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Advantages:
 No permanent and unsightly decalcification
marks on lingual surface.
 Easy access for routine oral hygiene
procedures on the labial surfaces.
 Clinical judgement of treatment progress can
be enhanced.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Advantages:
 Evaluation of individual tooth position.

 Soft tissue responses of the lips and cheeks to
treatment can be judged accurately.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Disadvantages:


Discomfort to the tongue



Difficulty in speech, which usually improves
after 2-3 weeks of appliance placement

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Disadvantages:
 Extended chair side time needed for appliance
placement and adjustments
 Expensive

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Mechanical characteristics:
Four distinct situations exist where lingual
appliances may be more effective than labial
appliances.

Intrusion of anterior teeth
 Maxillary arch expansion
 Combining mandibular repositioning
therapy with orthodontic movements
 Distallizationwww.indiandentalacademy.commolars.
of maxillary

Intrusion of anterior teeth:
Lingual bracket positioning places the bracket closer to
centre of resistance of the tooth
than is found with labial
bracket placement

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Bite plane effect : Since the appliance is bonded,
the bite plane is always present. The net effect
appears to be light, continuous, intrusive force, a
passive extrusion occurs in posterior segment.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Maxillary arch expansion :

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Maxillary arch expansion :
Reasons are :
Centrifugal force type.
Shorter interbracket distance may play a
significant role in this effect.
The thickness of the brackets.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
MANDIBULAR REPOSITIONING THERAPY
WITH ORTHODONTIC TOOTH MOVEMENTS



When patients have (TMD) it is often
necessary to treat in two distinct phases.

www.indiandentalacademy.com


The initial phase of treatment addresses the
TMD and associated pain symptoms.



The second clinical phase of treatment
addresses changes in the occlusion as a result
of new mandibular position.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
DISTALLIZATION OF MAXILLARY MOLARS


Lingual brackets are placed closer to the centre
of resistance of the tooth than labial brackets.



Molar distalization through lingual techniques
produce more bodily movement of the tooth
and less distal tipping.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
www.indiandentalacademy.com
DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT PLANNING
Diagnosis:
 Case diagnosis is conducted in a manner
similar to established procedures.


Non-growing adult patient - Additional
diagnostic input may be required from the
periodontist, restorative dentist, and
orthognathic surgeon.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Treatment planning :
1.

Periodontal Considerations

2.

TMJ Considerations

3.

Restorative Considerations

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Periodontal Considerations


This is more important with lingual and adult
patients.



Short lingual clinical crowns can present a
contraindication to optimum lingual bracket
positioning.

www.indiandentalacademy.com


Lingual brackets are bonded closer to the gingival
crest than their labial bracket counterparts.



The natural cleansing action of the tongue seems
to maintain the lingual appliance with less plaque
relative to the labial appliance.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Restorative Considerations


More extensive restorative and prosthetic work is
naturally increased in the adult patient.



The bonding materials will adhere only to etched
enamel, other plastics, and some porcelains
(using an intermediate silane primer).

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Restorative Considerations


Any practicality of replacing porcelain-fused-tometal crowns or other metallic restorations with
provisional plastic crowns ?



In case of loss of several teeth, extreme tipping,
and multiple or complex bridgework, the lingual
appliance may be contraindicated.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Restorative Considerations
As a rule, if the clinician believes that the
case poses multiple technical problems if
treated with a labial approach, then these
problems are magnified greatly when treated
with a lingual mode.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Lingual crown height


Lingual clinical crown heights - 30% shorter than
the available crown on the labial surfaces.



The most critical crown heights - the Mandibular
Incisors and Mandibular bicuspids

www.indiandentalacademy.com
TMJ CONSIDERATIONS


Relief of joint symptoms following lingual
appliance placement.



In those cases where the health of the
temporomandibular joint complex is in
question, splint therapy and conservative
treatment approaches are recommended.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
This apparently occurs due to
1. Disarticulation of posterior interferences,
2. Creation of freedom of movement of the
"locked“ mandible,
3. Changes in muscle position and length due
to different posturing of the mandible.

KEYS TO SUCCESSFUL LO
Key-1
A. Patient Selection


Lingual patients must be well educated in oral
hygiene and motivated from the beginning.



Poor oral hygiene, particularly when coupled
with short clinical crowns, should be excluded.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
B. Speech Adaptation and Tongue Irritation

 A common complaint of lingual patients is
temporary speech alteration.

 The "s", "sh", "t-d", and "th" sounds are slightly
distorted less than 10 percent of the time with
lingual appliances.

 From one to nine months after appliance
placement, there is a clinically insignificant
residual distortion of sounds.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Key 2
Bracket Placement Accuracy

Accurate placement exceedingly difficult with a
lingual appliance due to
1.

3.
4.
5.

Arch radius
Interbracket distance
Compound lingual geometry
Highly variable tooth morphology and
Limited access and visibility

Key 3
Indirect Bonding:


The Advanced techniques.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Key 4
Double Over Ties on Anterior Teeth:


Conventional ligation does not exert a proper
parallel force vector with the amount of force
required to seat or adequately hold the archwire
in anterior lingual brackets.



Double-over ties are imperative to correct
rotations, achieve and maintain torque, and retract
teeth. The ties are removed with a Hu-Friedy
U15-30 scaler. www.indiandentalacademy.com
Metal over-ties

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Elastic over-ties

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Key 5
Buccal and Lingual Molar Attachments
Set the band as occlusally
as possible on the lingual
surface.

Any lingual molar attachment
should then be welded flush
with the occlusal edge of the
band.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Buccal and Lingual Molar Attachments


In extraction cases, the first molar attachment
should be tipped mesiogingivally about 6° to
help parallel the roots

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Key 6
Correcting Rotations


With labial brackets, teeth usually rotate out to
the labial to a greater arch radius, thus providing
the necessary space to correct the rotations.



With lingual brackets, the reverse occurs and the
teeth are brought into a more constricted arch
radius.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Correcting Rotations


Failure to adequately seat the archwire in the
base of the slot can cause rotation problems.
These can be avoided by using the double-over
ligation technique

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Key 7
Arch Form and Archwire Sequence


Natural variations in facial-lingual tooth
dimensions are common on the lingual aspect.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Wire sequencing :


First initial wires 0.016 NiTi.



Second initial wires 0.016 special plus (wilcock)
heat treated stainless steel.



Intermediate wires 0.017 x 0.025 TMA.



Detailing wires : Wilcocks (Australian) 0.016
or 0.018 special plus. This sequence is
followed for all cases class I, II, III.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Key 8:
Archwire Stiffness and Torque Control


Retraction of teeth into extraction sites and
correction of anteroposterior discrepancies
require a significant amount of force.



Partial retraction of cuspids - .016"



En masse retraction of the anterior segment .016" .022"
www.indiandentalacademy.com

.016" SS
If retraction is attempted on lighter wires, significant
adverse changes may occur, including:
1. Excessive tipping into extraction sites .
2. Loss of torque control
3. Molar rotation
4. Buccal crossbite
5. Lateral outward bowing at the extraction site .

www.indiandentalacademy.com


D-RECT wire has sufficient resiliency and
torque control to reverse some unwanted
changes.



.0175" .0175" TMA excellent for
establishing early torque control.



.016" .022" SS archwire provides adequate
torque control.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Key 9 :
Enmasse retraction

Enmasse retraction not only requires fewer

  • 2. CONTENTS          Introduction Evaluation of esthetics Evolution of orthodontic materials Tooth colored brackets Esthetic arch wires Elastomeric Ligatures Tooth colored Ligatures Tooth colored appliances Lingual Orthodontics www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 3. Introduction:   Aristotle said "Beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of introduction". The term “Esthetic” refers to an understanding of beauty. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 4.   Esthetics which is derived from greek word for “aisthetikos”, deals with beauty and the beautiful. Lombardi defined “Dental Esthetics” by the way things were perceived visually. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 6.  Harmony between the dominant features of a face contributes to creating a beautiful face.  The "Facial Dominant Features" are 1. Smile with its components. Teeth, gingiva and lips. Eyes and facial frame. 2. 3. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 7. Golden Proportion Beautiful Proportion   Greeks who tried to formulate beauty as an exact mathematical concept. "Golden Proportion” – Leonardo da vinci The Golden Proportion, phi, has been observed to evoke emotion or aesthetic feelings within us. The ancient Egyptians used it in the construction of the great pyramids and in the design of hieroglyphs found on tomb walls. At another time, thousands of miles away, the ancients of Mexico embraced phi while building the Sun Pyramid at Teotihuacan. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 8.    The Greeks studied phi closely through their mathematics and used it in their architecture Renowned artists such as Michelangelo, Raphael, and Leonardo da Vinci made use of it for they knew of its appealing qualities. Evidence suggests that classical music composed by Mozart, Beethoven, and Bach embraces phi. "Beautiful Proportion” – Plato "The good, of course, is always beautiful, and the beautiful never lacks proportion”- Plato www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 9. Evaluating esthetics in Dentist’s chair Lombardi remarked that detailed esthetic judgments can only be made by viewing patients from front, in conversation, using facial expressions, and smiling. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 11. Evaluation of facial & Dental appearance  Face in three planes of space (Macro esthetics).  Smile frame work ( Mini esthetics).  The Teeth (Micro esthetics). www.indiandentalacademy.com

  • 14. MICRO ESTHETICS  Crown lengths of upper and lower incisors  Incisal edge contours  Midlines www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 15. Evolution of orthodontic materials  Like metallurgy, dentistry has a long history of artistic creativity.  Over 4500 years ago when the metal worker was sweating copper from malachite for weapons, making primitive tools from „„bia‟ n pet‟‟ (meteoric iron), and separating gold from crushed quartz stone literally using what became known as the Golden Fleece, the „„Toother‟‟ was likely splinting the teeth of the Egyptian court. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 16.   Time passed from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age and the Industrial Revolution until, in the latter half of the 19th century Henry Clifton Sorby (1863–1887) and Edward Hartley Angle(1886–1930) professionally ascended to become the pioneers of modern metallography and modern orthodontics, respectively www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 17. THE BEGINNINGS     Teeth were regarded by the ancients as very precious to the extent that „„. . . special penalties [were exacted] for knocking out the teeth of an individual, either freeman or slave.‟‟ As early as 400 BC, Hippocrates referenced in his writings the correction of tooth irregularities And while Greece was in its Golden Age, the Etruscans (the precursors of the Romans) were burying their dead with appliances that were used to maintain space and prevent collapse of the dentition during life. Then in a Roman tomb inEgypt, Breccia finds a number of teeth bound withwww.indiandentalacademy.com a gold wire
  • 18.  And at the time of Christ, Aurelius Cornelius Celsus first records the treatment of teeth by finger pressure EARLY CONTRIBUTORS     The French and English dominated the earliest contributions to the field of orthodontics, which as yet had not been formally named In 1819 Delabarre introduces the wire crib, and this marks the birth of contemporary orthodontics In the second half of the 19th century(ca 1865), Kingsley advocates plates as retaining devices In the early part of the 20th century, Angle would tout this device as one of the best tooth maintainers www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 19. Products made from alloys that orthodontics adopted. (A) 1936 Ford sedan made from stainless steel; (B) mainspring of a watch fabricated from cobalt-chromium alloy; (C) hydraulic shape-memory coupling manufactured from nickel-titanium intermetallic www.indiandentalacademy.com composition; and (D) SR-71 Blackbird constructed from titanium-molybdenum alloy
  • 20. Orthodontic cases from yesteryear to today. (A) A fully banded patient with extensive stainless steel (SS) loop mechanics,ca 1965; (B) a patient fitted with maxillary polycarbonate brackets and a TeflonYcoated SS archwire and mandibular SS conventional brackets, ca 1980; And (C) a patient with conventional straight-wire CP-titanium brackets, ca 1995 (F. Sernetz, personal communication). www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 26. A)Plastic brackets 1) Polycarbonate brackets 2) Polyurethane-composite brackets 3) Thermoplastic-polyurethane brackets B) Ceramic brackets 1) Monocrystalline alumina (Sapphire) 2) Polycrystalline alumina 3) Polycrystalline Zirconia (YPSZ) www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 28.  The percentage of orthodontic patients increased dramatically in mid 80s to 25 % total orthodontic patients  Early commercially available aesthetic products included both plastic brackets and ceramic brackets  The first transparent bracket material-1960(Newman)  The first plastic brackets were manufactured from unfilled poly carbonate (early1970s) www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 29. • Initially an aesthetic alternative to metal brackets But short lived,because • Staining and odour • Lack of strength and stiffness • Tie wing fractures • Permanent deformation(creep) over constant load • Poly carbonate bracet slots distorted with time uder aconstant physiologic stress(2000 gm-mm) www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 30.  Sadat-Konsari et al study on torque deformation characteristics of seven commercially available plastic brackets (metal slot reinforced bracket,poly urethane,pure poly carbonate and fiber glass reinforced in plastic brackets) that,  plastic brackets are only suited for clinical application if they have a metal slots www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 31.  Plastic brackets are not as hard as ceramics, a fact which may be an advantage rather than a disadvantage.  Since it is generally thought that the harder a material is, the more it will wear an opposing material softer than Itself (Monasky.1971).  Plastic brackets will not wear or chip enamel. if occluded upon. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 32. Bond strength  A wide variation exists in the results of different studies on bond strength with regard to the types of brackets, so that direct comparison of results is not feasible. The factors that may contribute to these differences include  the choice of composite,  the type of testing equipment used, www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 33.  -the orientation of the applied force,  -the storage medium of the extracted teeth,  -the bracket material, and  -whether the bracket base has a mechanical or chemical union to the composite resin (Crow. 1995). www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 34. • These materials are not cross-linked and the brackets may also undergo drifting when subjected to temperatures slightly higher than those In the mouth • Diacrylate cements used with plastic brackets were found not to bond well to them without plastic bracket primers • A bonding system, based on a unique thermosetting combination of mono- and dia-crylates and a high molecular weight polymeric filler, was developed to Improve the bond strength of polycarbonate brackets www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 35.  At present the new generations of plastic brackets are suitable for almost all adhesive systems.  No-mix adhesives or light-cure bonding materials with a supplementary primer are recommended by the orthodontic companies.  The adhesives with their own plastic primer demonstrated higher bond strength values than those without plastic primer  Satisfactory bond strength values were observed for polycarbonate brackets with no-mix orthodontic bonding resins and highly filled, self cured diacrylate cements (Blalock and Powers, 1995 Nkenke e1 al.. 1997) www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 36.  Among the factors that may cause these differences are geometry of the wings, presence of metallic reinforcement, sharp edges and geometry of the base.  Large and thick bases, rounded contours and provision for mechanical retention were factor associated with improved bond strength with the plastic brackets  The new ranges of plastic brackets offer a mechanical locking base, providing more bonding surface for mechanical retention with the adhesive. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 37. Torque properties       Harzer et al reported significantly higher torquing losses and lower torquing moments with polycarbonate brackets So that additional torque should give To compensate strength problems , High grade medical poly urethane brackets , poly carbonate brackets reinforced with ceramic or fiber glass fillers and /or metal slots Although torqueproblems exists.(15% torque loss over 24hrs has been observed both ceramic reinfforced and metal lined poly carbonate brackets www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 38. Disadvantage polycarbonate brackets • • • Polycarbonate brackets undergo creep deformation when transferring torque loads generated by arch wires to the teeth Discoloration of first generation unfilled polycarbonate brackets during clinical aging. They absorb water to a slight extent and tend to weaken in the course of about one year (Newman 1973). www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 39. • Most efforts are directed toward improving the strength of polymeric brackets by reinforcing the plastic matrix. • Various reinforced polycarbonate brackets were, 1) Polymer fiber reinforced polycarbonate brackets 2) Fiberglass reinforced polycarbonate brackets 3) Ceramic reinforced polycarbonate brackets 4) Metal slot reinforced polycarbonate brackets 5) Metal slot and ceramic reinforced polycarbonate brackets www.indiandentalacademy.com

Types of ceramic brackets  Monocrystalline (Sapphire)  Polycrystalline Alumina  Polycrystalline Zirconia-Yttrium oxide Partially Stabilised Zirconia (YPSZ) www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 49.  b2" Al3+ Al3+ b1 O2O2- O2- 2 Al3+ b" O 2- Al3+ 3 Al3+ b' 1 Al3+ O2- O2- Aluminium oxide crystal structure consists of a nearly Hexagonal close pack (HCP) arrangement of the larger oxygen anions (O2-), with smaller aluminium cations (Al3+), located in two- thirds of the octahedral interstitial sites in the HCP structure.These octahedral sites have six-fold coordination, i.e.,each aluminium ion is surrounded by six oxygen ions www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 50. Manufacturing process Mono crystalline brackets: Heating aluminum oxide to temperatures in excess of 2100 c Then, cooled slowly, and the bracket is machined (sintering process) - From the resulting crystal cut them in different shapes and dimensions of various brackets, using ultrasonic cutting techniques, diamond cutting, or combination of two www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 51. Poly crystalline brackets: -manufactured by blending aluminum oxide particles with a binder -temperatures above 1800 c are used to burnout the binder and fuse together and fused together the particles of the molded mixture Then , it is heat treated to remove surface imperfections and relieve stresses created by the cutting operation www.indiandentalacademy.com 
  • 52. Advantage of the process:A relatively inexpensive process that yields large quantities Disadvantage this process - Presence of structural imperfections at grain boundaries or of trace amounts of impurities Impurities in quantities as minute as 0.001 percent or slight imperfections can serves as foci for crack propagation under stress www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 53.   Alternative method of making polycrystalline brackets is injecting molding Advantage is eliminates structural imperfections created by cutting process www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 54. Disadvantage of poly crystalline brackets   The larger the ceramic grains ,the greater the translucency. But, as the grain size increases the material tends to be weaker. it is up to 30 microns Poly crystalline brackets begins as aluminum particles of about 0.3 microns reached 20-30 microns. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 55. Zirconium brackets    Zirconium is a mineral extracted from beach sands of AUSTRALIA The PSZ (partially stabilized zirconium) developed by the common wealth scientific and industrial research organization(CSIRO)as a reliable highly stress –resistant material Greatest toughness among all the ceramics www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 56. Properties of zirconium brackets     Greatest toughness Cheaper Good sliding properties for stainless steel and nickel titanium arch wires Reduced plaque adhesion www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 57. Base Characteristic of Ceramic Brackets  two types of ceramic bracket bases are available Bonding mechanisms that have been identified for ceramic brackets may be classified into three major categories: a) Mechanical retention employing large recesses. b) Chemical adhesion facilitated by the use of a silane layer. c) Micromechanical retention through the utilization of a number of configurations, including protruding crystals, grooves, a porous surface, and spherical glass particles.  www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 58. 1. bracket base is formed with undercuts or grooves that provide a mechanical interlock to the adhesive.  The mechanical retention of such brackets is less as compared to other bracket base that are having both micromechanical retention and chemical adhesion. 2.Bracket base has a smooth surface and relies on a chemical coating to enhance bond strength.  A silane coupling agent is used as a chemical mediator between the adhesive resin and the bracket base.  It has been claimed that chemical adhesion provided higher bondstrength when compared with mechanical www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 59. Silane coating of bracket bases    The coupling agent -methacryl oxypropyl trimethoxy silane ( -MPTS) has been used for promoting chemical adhesion between surfaces. The -MPTS is hydrolysed to the corresponding silanol. A limited number of silanol groups per silanol molecule are hydrogen-bonded to the water layer adsorbed on the base surface. Side chain silanols are condensed, establishing a siloxane network that stabilizes the structure. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 60.  Owing to the silanol orientation toward the bracket base, methacrylate groups are placed in a configuration that favours cross-linking with the methacrlate-based adhesive. Bonding arises from two mechanisms:  Silanol groups of the hydrolysed silane adhere to the hydration layer of the inorganic surfaces  Methacrylate groups of the silane copolymerize with the methacrylate resin matrix, forming covalent bonds www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 61. Recently another two developments………  polycrystalline alumina with a rough base comprised of either randomly oriented sharp crystals or spherical glass particles.  These brackets provide only micromechanical inter locking with the orthodontic adhesive www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 62.  In an attempt to overcome the potential damage of enamel during debonding, a ceramic bracket with a thin polycarbonate laminate coating on the base has been manufactured (CeramaFlex, TP Orthodontics) www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 63. Ceramic brackets with different base types Viazis (1990) compared the shear bond strength for two types of ceramic brackets and concluded that, The shear bond strength of silane chemical bonded ceramic brackets is significantly higher than the grooved mechanical bonded ceramic brackets. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 64. Physical Properties of Ceramic Brackets  Hardness,  Tensile strength and  Fracture toughness or brittleness www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 65. Hardness of ceramic and enamel wear    Extremely high hardness due to aluminum oxide Ceramic brackets are 9 times harder than stainless steel or enamel(Swartz1988) Douglass (1989) gave a clinical report of enamel damage found on the lingual surfaces of maxillary central incisors that were in contact with poly-crystalline sapphire ceramic brackets placed on the facial surfaces of lower incisors. This is because, when natural tooth surfaces have opposing contact with ceramic brackets in occlusion, due to the hardness of ceramics enamel damage may occur. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 66. Tensile strength    Tensile strength is much higher in mono crystalline alumina than in poly crystalline alumina Tensile strength characteristics of ceramics depend on the condition of the surface of the ceramic Metal brackets deforms 20% under stress before fracturing whereas ,ceramic brackets deforms less than 1% before failing. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 67. Fracture Toughness or Brittleness  Ceramics used in orthodontic brackets have highly localized, directional atomic bonds. This oxidized atomic lattice does not permit shifting of bonds and redistribution of stress.  When stresses reach critical levels, the interatomic bonds break and material failure occurs. This is called “brittle failure”. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 68.  Fracture toughness is a measure of the strain energyabsorbing ability prior to fracture for a brittle material. The higher the fracture toughness, the more difficult it is to propagate a crack in the material.  Vickers hardness testing machine is used to test the fracture toughness of ceramic brackets. Microscopic indentations are placed on the surface of bracket and the associated cracks at the tip of the indentation are evaluated. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 69.  Fracture behaviour is controlled by the influence of surface cracks and other microscopic defects or internal pores. These are called “Griffith flaws”.  Fracture toughness of ceramics is 20 to 40 times less than that of stainless steel (Scott 1988) www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 70. • • 1. 2. The brittle nature of ceramic brackets has resulted in a higher incidence of bracket failure (fracture) during debonding Ceramic compounds, unlike metals, are also susceptible to crack propagation The combination of very hard and brittle properties and high bond strength leads to reports of two significant problems. Bracket fracture specifically during debonding Enamel fracture which may occur during function but mostly during debonding. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 71. Optical properties • Single crystal brackets are clearer than polycrystalline brackets. The sintering process produces a polycrystalline alumina microstructure with grain boundaries, resulting in some translucency. • There is loss of light transmission through the ceramic . • Optical properties and strength are inversely related for the polycrystalline alumina ceramics . www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 72. Photograph showing difference in optical clarity between plastic bracket and ceramic bracket assigned to decreased light transmittance of polymeric appliance www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 73. Why Enamel and Bracket Get Fracture?  Enamel fractures is due to the high bond strength of ceramic brackets.  However, most of the adhesives available in the market have adequate bond strength to resist orthodontic forces. www.indiandentalacademy.com

  • 76. Frictional Resistance • • • • • Polycrystalline brackets have a higher co-efficient of friction than monocrystalline ceramic and stainless steel This is due to their rougher and more porous surface. Ceramic brackets manufactured by machining - significantly greater rough surface. Omana, Moore and Bagby reported that ceramic brackets manufactured by injection-molding technique had less friction than other ceramic brackets. They also found that wider brackets had less friction than narrower brackets www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 77. Tie-wing strength • Photoelastic studies and finite-element analyses have shown that tie-wings are generally the locations of concentrated stresses when forces are applied to the ceramic brackets.  Tie-wing fractures have been much more common for the single-crystal alumina brackets because of their lower resistance to crack propagation. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 78.  Sonneveld et al (1994) compared the breaking force in compression for alumina and zirconia brackets and found that zirconia brackets did not experience any tie wing fractures, but instead underwent visually perceptible deformation prior to bulk fracture. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 79.  Research using finite element analysis has indicated that brackets possessing an isthmus connecting the tie-wings demonstrated better stress tolerance than those without this feature. www.indiandentalacademy.com

  • 138. HISTORY OF DEVELOPMENT Natural Elastomers - Natural rubber probably used by the ancient Indian and Malay civilizations, was the first known elastomer.  It had limited use because of its unfavorable temperature behavior and water adsorption properties.  With the advent of vulcanization by Charles Goodyear in 1839, uses for natural rubber greatly increased. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 139.  Early advocates of natural latex rubber elastics in Orthodontics include Baker, Case and Angle Recent Advancements  Recently, polynorbornen, a shape memory plastic developed in Japan in 1983 has been tried experimentally for intra-oral usage.  This plastic has a glass transitional point of 350 C. Once the environmental temperature exceeds the critical point, this plastic will begin to display an elastic property, then return to its original shape, if deformed www.indiandentalacademy.com

  • 143.  The staining of clear elastomeric modules used to ligate ceramic and tooth coloured brackets is a problem.  The study by Kenneth K.K found that elastomeric modules get stained by many food products, coffee and tea being the main culprits. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 144. Elastomeric E Link Modules  Elastomeric E link modules with connecting filaments are excellent for rotating individual tooth or closing intra arch space.  Stamped from highly resilient opaque white or gray material (T.P. Lab Inc.,) they provide gentle, continuous force over long periods of time without breakage www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 145. Elastomeric chains :  Elastomeric chains of polyurethane nature is commonly used to generate light continuous forces for canine retraction, diastema closure, rotational corrections and arch constriction  They can also be used for bringing a displaced tooth into the line of the arch.  Available in a range of sizes which have different lengths between the rings that fit over the brackets www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 147.  This allows them to be used in a variety of clinical situations such as moving lower incisors, where the inter bracket distance is smaller than that used with upper incisors and in situations where different forces are needed in various parts of an arch  Chain elastics are thus most useful for closing small space. Disadvantages  When extended and exposed to oral environment, they absorb water and saliva, permanently stain and suffer a breakdown of internal bonds that leads to permanent deformation. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 148.  They are also difficult to clean and tend to accumulate food debris.  If breakage occurs, there is the possibility of unwanted tooth movement taking place, for example, space opening at the site of failure.  They generally lose 50-70% of their initial force during the first day of load application and at 3 weeks, retain only 30-40% of the original force. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 149. Draw backs     Though elastic ligatures are used during initial aligning and leveling, their rapid force loss and permanent deformation may preclude use for rotational and torque corrections Elastomeric chains are not inert in the oral environment. The deleterious synergistic effect of loading and water immersion is attributed to susceptibility to hydrolysis of the ester or ether backbone linkages in polyurethanes. This result in reduction of required to maintain fixed extension. Elastomeric ligatures may be ineffective for treatment www.indiandentalacademy.com applications involving large rotational moments.
  • 150.   The pH and temperature variations in the oral environment, along with accumulation of plaque and formation of microbial colonies on surface can affect the properties of elastomerics. Elastomeric modules experience a steep decline in force of 40 – 50% during first 24 hrs, which continues at a lower rate for 2 to 3 weeks. Force degradation arises form 2 processes in elastomerics: Rapid mechanism i.e. responsible for the large initial force loss.  Relatively slow rate of force loss at longer periods of time. www.indiandentalacademy.com

  • 159. The principles of this new protocol are as follows:    1. Simultaneous movement of all involved teeth(Similar to the use of light archwires and low-friction brackets for leveling and alignment) this creates the space needed for tooth movement and slows down the movement of all teeth except the one requiring the greatest number of stages to be corrected at a given velocity (the “determining tooth”) 2.Use of beveled 1mm (buccolingual dimension)horizontal rectangular premolar attachments for retention of aligners during intrusive movements 3.Use of 1mm vertical rectangular attachments for rotation of round teeth or canines, as well as translation of teeth adjacent to www.indiandentalacademy.com an extraction site
  • 160.     4.Slowing down certain types of tooth movement,including rotation, extrusion, torquing, and bodily movement, below the previous standard velocity of .25mm per stage 5.Maintaining visible space (approximately .1mm)between teeth during movement of one tooth past another. 6.Using expansion instead of interproximal reduction as a primary method of increasing the space available for correction of crowding. 7. Delaying any interproximal reduction that may be needed to correct Bolton discrepancies and other toothsize issues until the teeth are aligned,to avoid removing enamel at an angle. www.indiandentalacademy.com
