INTRODUCTIONEdward Hartley Angle introduced foundations of malocclusion treatment over 100years ago and since then numerous methods of efficient orthodontic tooth movement have been described in literature.The use of the fixed appliance in orthodontics is directly linked to the proposal and guides of Edward H. Angle to move the teeth to the occlusion line, defined as "the line, shape and position teeth must be if there is a normal occlusion".
INTRODUCTION CONTD.These recommendations required the designing of special devices for three-dimensional control of teeth in order to reach the occlusion line and allow teeth to be correctly aligned in both the maxilla and mandible.This was one of the main objectives to design the Angles devices; E-arch, Pin and tube, ribbon arch, and edgewise appliances.
DEFINITIONInclude all devices which have attachment to teeth surfaces and forces are exerted through these attachments using arch wire and other auxiliaries to bring about desirable tooth movement.A fixed orthodontic appliance is a device fixed to the teeth either by cementation or bonding to the etched teeth surface to bring about various types of tooth movement and can only be readily removed by the operator.
DEVELOPMENT OF FIXED APPLIANCEFauchards expansion archE-arch appliancePin and tube applianceRibbon arch applianceEdgewise appliance
DEVELOPMENT CONTD.Labiolingual twin wire applianceBegg applianceTip-edge appliancePre-adjusted Edgewise appliance
HISTORICAL BACKGROUNDFirst attempt to correct malocclusions was by Pierre Fauchard (1800s)Rigid framework to which teeth were tied called Fauchards expansion arch.
Fauchards expansion arch
E-ARCH APPLIANCEImprovement on first applianceBands were placed only on molars with heavy labial archwire End of arch wire threaded with a small nut at the end to allow arch expansionLigatures used to tie individual teeth to archwireOnly tipping movements were possibleDelivers heavy interrupted force with great relapse
E-ARCH
Basic designsBasic E-archRibbed E-archE-arch without threaded endsE-arch with hooks
HISTORY CONTD.PIN AND TUBE (EDWARD ANGLE, 1910)Improvement on E-archBands on other teeth with vertical tubes into which soldered pins were placedPins repositioned at each appointment to bring about tooth movementIt needed many small adjustmentsLimited mesiodistal movementsDifficult to use
Only angle and one of his students ever mastered the skill13
PIN AND TUBE
HISTORY CONTD.RIBBON ARCH (EDWARD ANGLE, 1915)Vertical rectangular slots behind the tubesRibbon arch of 10x20 gold wireGood spring propertiesPoor control of root position
Resiliency of the wire cldnt provide enough torque for root positioning15
RIBBON ARCH
HISTORY CONTD.EDGEWISE (EDWARD ANGLE, 1928)Slots rotated 90 degrees to the orientation in ribbon archEyelets placed in corners of the bands for rotational control of root positionDimensions of slot alteredControl of crown in all three planes of space possibleAppliance of choice till late 1970s
22x28mls17
STANDARD EDGEWISEDisadvantages Required many bends to be placed in the archwire for final detailingTime consumingSpace closure needed closing loopsTeeth movement is demanding upon anchorage
Standard edgewise brackets
Labiolingual twinwire appliance
Bands on first molars and incisorsCombination of heavy labial and lingual archwiresFinger springs soldered to archwire to move individual teeth
HISTORY CONTD.BEGG APPLIANCE (RAYMOND BEGG, 1956)Uses ribbon arch type of bracketsAccepts .016 round SS wire held in position with lockpinsModified type for rectangular wiresAlso known as light wire system
Adaptations: begg turned d brackets upside down so the slots faced gingivally rather than occlusally,he used 16 mil ss wireshe added auxillary springs for the control of root position
21
BEGG APPLIANCEDisadvantages Precise finishing was difficultDifficult to control and time consuming
TIP EDGE APPLIANCE (PETER KESLING, 1980s)Allows later uprightingRigid three-dimensional controlRectangular archwires
COMBINATION OF BEGG AND STRAIGHTWIRE24
PRE-ADJUSTED EDGEWISE APPLIANCES
First designed by Lawrence F. Andrews(late 1960s)Alteration in bracket slot dimensionAutomatic rotational controlStraight wire prescriptions with customized bracketsVariable distance from base of slot to base of bracket for correct in/out position(1st order bends)Pre-angulated slots for correct mesiodistal angulation or tip(2nd order bends)Bracket bases inclined for correct inclination or torque(3rd order bends)
Alteration in bracket slot dimensions: 18 and 22Automatic rotational control: twin brackets or single bracket with extension wings(lewis or lang brackets)Straight-wire prescriptions: Building treatment into the appliance PrescriptionsRoth, hilgers, rickets, standard edgewise, alexander, mbt, sprint, orthos, damon, andrews
Angulation and torque value= appliance prescription25
First order bends
Made in horizontal directionIn and out bendsRequired to conform anatomically to labial and buccal contours of teeth
27
Second order bends
Bends in vertical planeTip-backUsed for anchorage preparation or uprighting teethAlso for paralleling of rootsFailure to incorporate these bends results in improper interdigitation of molar cusps and positioning of premolars
Third order bends(Torqueing bends)Failure to place these bends meantanterior teeth will be too upright
Buccal cusps of posterior molars will be depressed while lingual cusps will be elevated
PREADJUSTED EDGEWISEAdvantages Allows groups of teeth to be moved in unison
DisadvantagesDeepening of anterior biteCreation of lateral open bite (roller coaster effect)Inventory problem
30
Standard edgewise
Preadjusted edgewise
Roth(1975)Recommended a single appliance system to overcome inventory problemRecommended upright position and over-rotation of upper molars, upright position of upper premolars, upright position and distal rotation of lower buccal segment to overcome anchorage lossOvercorrection Use of articulators for diagnostic records
McLaughlin-Bennet-Trevisi (1993-2001)Bracket selection, accurate positioning and slot sizeLight continuous forceEarly anchorage control and group movementUse of three arch formsMethods of wire ligation and archwire hooksAwareness of tooth size discrepanciesPersistence in finishing

MECHANISM OF ACTIONForces are generated by the active components and transmitted to the tooth through the passive components to bring about tooth movementTipping movementSimplest Application of force to crown of toothGeneration of fulcrum within the root
Force-couple to the crown allows controlled apical movementMesiodistal movt of apices= uprightLabiopalatal movt= torque36
Uprighting and torqueing Controlled movement of apices of teethUprighting is mesiodistal movementTorqueing refers to labiopalatal movement
Bodily movementEqual movement of crown and apex in the same directionForce-couple is applied to the crownRotation of teethCorrect positioning of attachment on rotated toothMovement around the long axis of the tooth by applying force to the crown
Application of force to crown and prevention of tipping38
INDICATIONSGrossly misplaced teethRotated teethSpace closureCorrection of inter-incisal relationshipMultiple tooth movementLower arch treatment
Closure with removable is only by tipping and liable to relapse and to ensure parallel position of rootGrossly misplaced teeth which need occlusal movementLower removable is unsatisfactory due to bulkinessDerotation cos control of precise tooth position and abnormal root positionCorrection of incisor relationship improved by simultaneous overjet reduction
39
CONTRAINDICATIONSPoorly motivated patientPoor dental healthLack of special skillsMalocclusion beyond scope of fixed appliance
ADVANTAGESProvides a wide range of tooth movementsThree-dimensional tooth controlMultiple tooth movements simultaneouslyMore precise tooth movement and detailing of occlusion is possibleBetter control over anchoragePatient factor Is reducedLittle disturbance of speech
DISADVANTAGESTechnique sensitive and complexAesthetic implicationIncreased chair side time and clinic visitsAnchorage is difficultOral hygiene is difficult to maintainRequires special training of the operatorExpensive
