Evolution of brackets
(appliance)
“All you can do is push ,pull ,or turn a
tooth. “
Edward H Angle to Frederick Noyes
Bracket- an attachment that serves to
deliver the necessary tooth moving forces
Bracket may be defined as an
orthodontic attachment secured to a tooth
for the purpose of engaging an arch
wire .-Thurow

Begg Appliance
Dr P.R.Begg 1956




It utilizes the ribbon arch type
brackets and was
manufactured to accept 016’
round wire
Wire was held in position with
the lock pins .020 x .045 slot


Lock pins

ADVANTAGES
Rotational control : mainly by deflection of arch
wire
Positive control
DISADVANTAGES
10% play of arch wire
Decreased amount of arch wire ,Inter bracket
span & resiliency
Closing loop arch wires
Second order bends

Lewis bracket


He soldered
auxiliary rotation
arm that abutted
against the bracket
itself and thus
offered a lever arm
to deflect arch wire
and rotate the teeth


Advantages of Lewis
bracket

Does not interfere with resiliency
,closing loops &second order bends
 100% correction & over corrections

Curved Lewis bracket

advantages
Increase contact
with band .
Reduces trapping
of the food.


Vertical slot Lewis
bracket

Here further refinement was done by
incorporating a 020 x020 vertical slot
Use of up righting spring to correct axial
inclination possible.

Creekmore Uni Twin
Bracket




Rationale –Twin bracket
offered better rotational
control
which the
single bracket could not
match until the
rotational wings were
added
Disadv-Badly rotated
tooth


Steiner bracket
 This bracket incorporated flexible
rotation arms and therefore did not
rely entirely on the resiliency of arch
wire for tooth rotation.
 It uses a single width edgewise
bracket and has the inherent
advantage and disadvantage of the
same



Broussard bracket






Was designed by
“Grayford broussard”
Modified edgewise
bracket in which there
is addition of 0.0185 x
0.046 slot –to accept
0.018 auxiliary wire
special torque
brackets.- 0,7˚,17˚,22˚

This consists of a
basic .022 x .028

additional .017 x .

Changing concepts
1955-1970
1955 Acid etch by Buonocore
 1965 Direct bonding by Newman
 1970 bisGMA widely used for bonding
 Complex wire bending skills needed
for refined tooth movement in std E W
 Begg technique used by uninformed

Design was based on computer
modeling
Large outer slot - 0.040”-0.030”
allows maximum arch wire
flexibility in the initial phases of the
treatment
Smaller inner slot - 0.018” 0.016”
accepts small rectangular wires for
maximum control in the later stages
of the treatment

Features of Edgewise
Bracket


Andrews classification
1.

Non programmed appliance-a set of
brackets designed the same for all tooth
types ,relying totally on wire bending.

2.

Partly programmed appliance- a set of
brackets designed with some in built
features ,but always require some wire
bending
Fully programmed appliance- a set of
brackets designed to guide teeth directly to
their goal positions with unbent wires.

3.

Design shortcomings of
Non programmed bracket

6.

Bracket base perpendicular to bracket stem.
Bracket bases are not contoured.
Slots are not angulated
Bracket stem are of equal faciolingual
thickness.
Maxillary molar offset is not built in.
Bracket sitting techniques are unsatisfactory.

Slots are not angulated


Bracket stem are of equal
faciolingual thickness.


Maxillary molar offset

Bracket sitting techniques
are unsatisfactory.
Tweed recommends sitting brackets in
specified number of millimeters from the
incisal edge.
Holdaway advocates that the bracket sitting
should altered according to the
malocclusion
According to Jarabak bracket sites for
inclination should be determined by the shape
of the crown.
Saltzman recommends except for the maxillary
lateral incisor ,brackets should be located in

appliance


The Straight Wire Appliance

-

Slot-siting feature

-

- Convenience feature
- Auxiliary feature

Feature 1- mid transverse planes of the slot
stem and crown must be the same




Feature 2-base of the bracket for each
tooth type must have same
inclination as the facial plane
of the crown




Feature 3-each bracket inclined base
must be contoured o-g




Feature 4- mid sagittal plane of the
slot
stem and crown must
be same


Feature 5 -the plane of the bracket base
at its base point must be
identical to the facial
plane of the crown at the FA point.




Feature 6 - base should match the m-d
contour of the tooth.




Feature 7 - the vertical component should
be parallel to one another.




Feature 8 – all slots point must have
same distance between them and
the crown embrasure line.


Convenience features
1.

The gingival tie wings of the post
Brackets extend farther laterally .




Base are inclined


Facial surface of the incisor and
canine brackets are designed to
parallel their bases.

control
– leveling with light arch wires ,
– sliding mechanics with 0.019/0.025 steel
wires
– Ovoid arch wire

MBT Versatile+

0.022 Angle used gold wires
SS wire being rigid applies excessive force
lower wire in larger slot torque lost
0.018 slot ideal when sliding is not needed
Alexander-0.18 for ease of placement &
patient comfort
MBT 0.022 slot
– Reduces treatment forces(opening stages)
– Working wire is.019/.025 works well with sliding
mechanics
– .018slot working wire .017 has greater
