they given?

11. Consider the moment created when force is applied Mf and the
counter balancing moment generated by the couple within the
bracket Mc
Mc/Mf = 0 –Pure tipping Crot and cres same,thus the
tooth rotates around the Cres
0 < Mc/Mf >1- Controlled tipping – Crot displaced away
from Cres – crown and root move in the same direction
Mc/Mf = 1– Bodily movement – equal movement of crown
and root
Mc/Mf > 1 Torque – root apex moves further than thewww.indiandentalacademy.com
12. M/F 5 : 1 Uncontrolled tipping

14. Off center bend
Points in the direction
of the force produced
on the tooth
Center bend
Short segmentLong segment
Points in the direction
opposite of the force
produced on tooth
No short or long

19. T loop vs vertical loop
• FABRICATED IN TMA WIRE
• LOW LOAD DEFLECTION
RATE
• HIGH YEILD STRENGTH
• LESS CONSTANT FORCE
• HIGHER MOMENT/FORCE
RATIO
• STAINLESS STEEL WIRE

25. • POSITION OF T-LOOP:
D = L-A

D = Distance from the center of the loop to
either the anterior bracket or posterior
auxillary tube.
L = Distance between the canine bracket
and Molar tube.
A = The millimeters of activation of the
spring (usually 6 mm)

30. • GIVE EQUAL ALPHA AND BETA BENDS AND PLACE
THE LOOPS OFFCENTERED TOWARDS
POSTERIORS
• GIVE MORE BETA BEND AND PLACE THE LOOP
OFFCENTERED TOWARDS ANTERIORS
• GIVE EQUAL ALPHA AND BETA BENDS AND PLACE

CONTROL THE POSTERIOR SEGMENT

32. T LOOP The preactivated spring with the anti tip
and anti rotation BENDS ARE placed
Activation on insertion is 6mm
The m/f is 8:1 – controlled tipping
Now as the tooth moves the activation
reduced to 4mm – the force is reduced
M/f ratio is increased - bodily movement further
The activation is reduced to 2mm – force is
further reduced
M/f ratio increased – 12:1
