The document discusses the third stage of the Begg technique for orthodontic treatment. Stage III focuses on correcting the axial inclination of teeth through root tipping using torquing auxiliaries and uprighting springs. It maintains the corrections from stages I and II while achieving the desired mesiodistal and labiolingual inclinations of each tooth simultaneously. Stiffer base archwires and various auxiliary appliances like torquing bars and uprighting springs are used to tip roots into their proper positions while keeping crowns relatively stationary. The document provides details on the design and function of these appliances to achieve the treatment objectives of stage III.

4. Overrotated cuspids/ or bicuspids.
Normal or overcorrected
buccolingual relation.
Normal or overcorrected
mesiodistal molar reln.

5. Achieving desired axial inclination of all teeth.
Labiolingual
Mesiodistal
inclination of incisors.
inclination of lateral incisors,
cuspids & bicuspids.
All objectives are achieved simultaneously.

6. Need for 3rd stage
In Begg technique movement of a tooth from one
position to another ,
Achieved in two phases –
Crown tipping.
Root torquing or uprighting.
VS
Bodily movement in Edgewise technique.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
7. In root torquing or uprighting
root is moved while crown is more or less
stationary
Achieved by increasing M:F ratio 12 : 1
so that centre of rotation is incisal or occlusal
third.
Therefore tooth movements carried out by
auxiliaries &
archwires are a passive component.

Functions:
Base
for deriving forces for the
auxiliaries.
Maintain corrections achieved in Stages I

13. Archwire shape and form.
Maxillary archwire
Similar to stage wire. Has few modifications –
Anchorage
bends reduced or removed
- to prevent distal tipping of max. molars.
- bite has already opened.
Elimination

molar offset, 1 – 2 mm mesial to the molar
tube.

14. Ant.
segment of archwire will lie much more
gingivally than posterior segment , correct it
with no. 442 pliers.
Placement
of a ‘V’ bend distal to canine
to counteract –
extrusive component of torquing on central incisors.
intrusive component of uprighting springs , torquing
aux. on premolars & cuspids.
Anterior segment should lie against the gingival margin
of the central incisors.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
15. Constricted post. segment with toe in bend
To counteract buccal flaring of & distobucal
rotation of molars due to cinching of archwires.
Amount of constriction –
size of the base arch.
Degree & duration. of incisor torque needed.
Archwire lie on buccal cusp tips in molar area.

17. Mandibular Archwire.

offsets.
‘V’bend distal to cuspid but resulting gingival
bow flattened out in the incisor area.

Energy expended in flexing lever arm stored as
potential energy in the coil. During unloading,
force produces mechanical couple & root moves
because crown is ligated.
