2.
Orthodontic patients – their demand
development of appliances
acceptable aesthetic for the patient
adequate technical performance for the clinician
www.indiandentalacademy.com
4. Tooth Colored
Early attempts to coat metal brackets with
a tooth colored coating were unsuccessful
due to failure of the coating to adhere and
its translucence.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
5. Mini Brackets
There was a firm trend towards the development
of smaller stainless steel brackets.
Although these generally provide the technical
performance required by the orthodontist, they
offer little aesthetic advantage over conventionally
sized appliances.

7. Ceramic Brackets
An attempt to improve esthetics while
maintaining bracket strength has resulted
recently in the development of a ceramic
bracket.
Alumina
Monocrystalline
Polycrystalline
Zirconia
www.indiandentalacademy.com
8. Ceramic Brackets
Single-crystal alumina – most translucent
Poly-crystal alumina – less than singlecrystal
Zirconia – inferior esthetics
Greater opacity, yellowish tint
www.indiandentalacademy.com
10. Hybrid Brackets
Two or more polymers
These have properties intermediate
between those of the constituents
Materials should be so chosen that the
property of one constituent improves
the deficient property of others

15. Epoxy Coated Wires
Epoxy coated tooth-colored arch wires with
a NiTi (superelastic) or stainless steel core.
Advantages:
Superior wear resistance and color stability
Retains superelastic qualities
More natural looking than white coatings

16. Optiflex
Optiflex is a new orthodontic arch wire designed
to combine unique mechanical properties with a
highly esthetic appearance.
Made of clear optical fiber, it comprises three
layers
1.
2.
3.
A silicon dioxide core that provides the force for moving
teeth.
A silicon resin middle layer that protects the core from
moisture and adds strength.
A stain-resistant nylon outer layer that prevents damage
to the wire and further increases its strength.

17. Essix
Essix retainers are clear, thin cuspid-to-cuspid
appliances appliances that snap into place and are
retained, without clasps, by the many natural
undercuts gingival to the anterior contact points.
They are fabricated from .030" Essix plastic sheet,
which is reduced to .015" during thermoforming.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
18.
Additionally, tooth movement is possible in
all planes of space.
Two types of space that must be evident
for tooth movement with Essix appliances
are
space within the appliance and
space within the dentition

24. Invisalign
Was the brainchild of Zia Chishti and Kelsey Wirth,
graduate students in Stanford University's MBA program.
Kelsey Wirth had traditional braces in high school, which she
reportedly hated whereas Zia Chishti had finished adult
treatment with traditional braces, and now wore a clear
plastic retainer.
He noticed that if he did not wear his retainer for a few days,
his teeth shifted slightly -- but the plastic retainer soon
moved his teeth back the desired position.
Together they started Align Technologies in April 1997 and
with the help of a handful of forward thinking orthodontists,
they applied 3-D computer imaging graphics and created the
Invisalign method.

26. Indications
mild spacing (1 - 3 mm),
moderate spacing (4 - 6 mm),
mild crowding (1- 3 mm),
moderate crowding (4 - 6 mm),
narrow arches that are dental in origin (4 6 mm),
as well as patients who have relapsed
following conventional orthodontic
treatment

28.
The FRC rope or strip is cut to length, and
the protective transparent foil is gently
removed.
The tooth is prepared for bonding with the
conventional polishing and etching.
The FRC is placed in position and
contoured to the tooth, then light-cured to
form an effective connecting bar.

32. History
During the early 1970’s, Dr.Craven Kurz, an orthodontist,
then Assistant Professor of occlusion and gnathology at the
UCLA School of dentistry found his private orthodontic
practice to be increasingly dominated by adult patients.
A particular patient who was an employee of playboy, bunny
club, presented to his practice requesting treatment.
Because of her public position, she refused metal or plastic
labial appliances on esthetic grounds.
From her demand for an appliance that did not show, the
concept of a lingually bonded appliance was born.

Generation 1
Ormco manufactured the
first Kurz lingual appliance.
Flat maxillary occlusal bite
plane from canine to
canine.
Lower incisor & PM
brackets were low profile &
half round.
No hooks on any brackets.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
36.
Generation 3
Hooks were added to
all anterior & PM
brackets.
The first molar had
bracket with internal
hook.
The second molar had
terminal sheath without
hook
www.indiandentalacademy.com
37.
Generation 4
Low profile anterior inclined plane in central
& lateral incisor. Hooks were optional based
on treatment needs & hygiene concerns
www.indiandentalacademy.com
38.
Generation 5
Increased labial
torque in the maxillary
anterior region.
Canine had an
inclined plane with
bibevelled.
Hooks were optional.
