The document discusses the evolution of preadjusted edgewise systems from the 1970s to present. It notes that early prescriptions from Andrews and Roth used standardized torque values that did not account for variability between patients. Later systems from Wick Alexander and Andrew introduced brackets with variable torque and angulation settings to better individualize treatment. The document emphasizes that torque and angulation values must be coordinated between the incisors and other teeth to avoid occlusal disturbances or root approximations. Ideal values depend on a patient's unique skeletal and dental relationships rather than standardized means.
3. ““anchorage burning appliance” - - -anchorage burning appliance” - - -
A torque of 7° on central incisors was soon
found to be insufficient, since the play
between archwire and bracket slot, which
wasn’t taken into account, creates important
loss of information during retraction stages
and hence the amount torque necessary to
compensate for the unwanted lingual tipping
was clearly greater than 7°www.indiandentalacademy.com
10. “Fully Programmed Translation brackets”
by Andrew’s
- These are three sets of information mixed
according to the treatment needs.
-These come in 3 sets bearing values of
angulation, torque and anti rotation

15. Summarizing so far…
-All the above prescriptions globally
reflect the treatment philosophy of their
different authors.
-It will be necessary for the practitioner to
complete the programme by adding
information to the wire.

18. Evolution toward facial type
This evolution is also taking place in
cephalometrics where the notion of mean now
tends to be replaced by growth considerations.
This corresponds to the need for
individualization of information.
Since variability in the morphology of the facial
skeleton necessarily implies variability in the
dento-alveolar compensations.

33. Thus, In the absence of functional
anomalies:
1. The dento-alveolar compensations
(inclination and angulation) take place
in a coherent way, in accordance with
every single facial type, determined by
skeletal relationships, either established
in the three planes.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
34. 2. No matter what technique is used, the
information (torque and angulation) we apply
must also be coherent in the three planes.
In the sagittal plane, the inclinations (or
torque ) of the incisors must be coordinated
with the angulations of the buccal segments in
a well balanced dento-alveolar system
www.indiandentalacademy.com
35. •The torque level is high on the
incisors, the angulation values in the
buccal segments, especially on the
canines will be greater.
•On the contrary, if the torque level on
the incisors is low, the angulations in
the buccal segments, especially on the
canines, will be smaller.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
37. In this case, the high
torque level on the incisors
doesn’t come with a
sufficient angulation of the
buccal segments; this
creates a high risk of root
approximation.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
38. Here, the high level of
torque on the incisors
comes with a sufficient
canine angulation but an
insufficient angulation of
the bicuspids; this creates
an occlusal disturbance
and a risk of root
approximation.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
52. Here, the canine has a positive torque, which is
adopted to the transverse skeletal relationships: if
the torque on the bicuspids is not coordinated, an
occlusal disharmony is created.www.indiandentalacademy.com
54. “A normal face is no longer one where
cephalometric values are closest to the
mean, but one whose cephalometric
values show harmony in their
relationships defined in variable
association tables. In this concept, there
is no such thing as a unique normal face
defined by a mean value, there are a series
of normal faces” - J. Dibbets.
