Leveling and Alignment in Preadjusted Edgewise Appliance
The purpose of this initial phase of treatment in the PEA appliance is to
• bring the teeth into alignment and
• correct vertical discrepancies (like deep overbite and open bite) by leveling out the arches.
The Begg light-wire appliance remains unique in the history of orthodontic innovation. Whereas many current self-ligating bracket appliances purport to be low friction or friction free, it is the Begg appliance that best exemplifies low friction, free sliding mechanics.
By creating only a single point of contact between the bracket and the arch-wire Dr Begg was able to greatly decrease resistance to sliding, both by reducing friction between the bracket and the arch-wire and virtually eliminating the binding of the arch-wire in the bracket slot, as is seen in all horizontal slot brackets.
Begg’s bracket design allowed teeth to freely tip mesially and distally as well as lingually and labially. This often gave teeth the appearance of being over tipped during treatment and required considerable diligence by Begg practitioners to keep tooth movement under control.
This freedom of tooth movement allowed unprecedented correction of large overbites and overjets to an edge-to-edge position and rapid closure of extraction spaces by initially tipping the adjacent teeth into the extraction site and uprighting the teeth afterwards.
Individual tooth root correction was managed by the use of fine springs that were designed, and often individually crafted to upright, torque and rotate teeth into their correct positions once the position of tooth crowns had been established.
One key advantage of the appliance set up was the use of light elastic forces for the correction of anterior overbites and overjets. All anchorage could be established intra-orally without headgear, without the need for ancillary appliances such as trans-palatal arches, or needing to set up molar anchorage prior to treatment, as Dr Tweed advocated.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

9. The work of McLaughlin Bennett
and Trevisi between 1993 and 1997
• Redesigned entire bracket system
• MBTTM is a version of Preadjusted bracket system
specifically for use with Light continuous forces
,Lacebacks ,bendbacks and designed to work with
sliding mechanics
10. • Anterior tip specification for original SWA greater
than research findings
11. The work of McLaughlin Bennett
and Trevisi between 1997 and 2003
12. Overview of the MBT
treatment philosophy
• Bracket selection
• Versatility of the bracket system
• Accuracy of bracket positioning
• Light continues forces
• The .022 vs the .018 slot
• Anchorage control in early treatment
• Group movement
• The use of three arch forms
• One size rectangular steel wires
13. • Arch wire hooks
• Method of archwire ligation
• Awareness of tooth size discrepancies
• Persistence in finishing
15. Light continues forces
• Most effective way to move teeth is being
comfortable to patient and minimizing the threat to
anchorage
• Thin, flexible wires early on ,with minimal deflection
and avoid too frequent arch wire changes.
• Clinician needs to recognize the signs of excess
forces
• Later in sliding mechanics ,light continues forces are
applied using active tie backs and rigid .019x.025
steel working wires
30. Incisor torque
• It is helpful clinically have
torque control which moves
upper incisor roots palatally
and lower incisor roots
labially.
• This treatment is necessary for
many types of malocclusison
31. • Class II cases,
Torque lose on the upper incisors and where lower
incisors tends procline during levelling and in response
to class ii elastics.
Class I cases,
correct torque help to achieve anterior tooth fit
Class iii cases
Correct torque can help to compensate for mild
class iii dental bases
41. Three torque for upper canine
(-70,00,+70) & lower canine
(-60,00,+60)
42. • Effective torque control of the upper canines is
necessary, because they are key elements in a
mutually protected occlusion.
• The inefficiency of the PEA in delivering torque is
evident when working with canines (longest roots in
the human dentition).
• The MBT philosophy used two type of canine
brackets (in each arch) to provide three possible
torque options (in each arch).
43.
44. 1. Arch form
• Well developed arches:
(not requiring substantial tooth movement)
o -7° upper canines
o -6° lower canines
• Ovoid or tapered arch form:
o 0° for upper canines
o 0° for lower canines
• Narrow tapered arch form:
o +7° upper canines
o +6° lower canines
45.
46. 2. Canine prominence
• Prominent canines or
• Gingival recession present:
o upper canines = 0° or +7° torque
o lower canines = +6° torque
47. 47
3. Extraction decision
• In premolar extraction cases or
• In cases where there is considerable canine tip to
be corrected:
o 0° torque
As they tend to maintain the canine roots in
cancellous bone, thereby making tip control of
the canine roots easier.
Canine bracket carries a hook
48. 4. Overbite
• In class II/2 cases and
• Other deep bite situations
o Lower canine = 0° or +6° torque
There is often a requirement to move the lower
canine crowns labially, but to maintain the roots
centered in the bone.
49. 49
5. Rapid palatal expansion
cases
• Widening of the upper arch creates a secondary
widening in the lower arch = torque changes
among lower teeth.
o lower canine = 0° or +6° torque
Recommended to assist this favorable
change.
50. 6. Agenesis of upper
lateral incisor
• If to close the spaces of missing lateral incisors with
canine mesialization:
o Canine bracket = +7° torque
59. Rotations
•On a rotated tooth the bracket bonded slightly more mesially or distally,
with a very small amount of excess composite under the mesial or distal
of the bracket base.
61. Upper first molar band placement
When viewed from buccal side
,the tube and band should be
parellel to buccal cusps
It is common error to allow the band to
seat too gingivally at the distal,causing
excessive crown tip.
Mesio-distally the bracket should straddle the buccal
groove
62. Lower first molar band placement
Correct band positioning.
A common error is to allow the
band to seat too gingivally at
the mesial .
63. Horizontal bracket placement errors
• If brackets are
placed to the mesial
or distal of the
vertical long axis of
the clinical crown,
improper tooth
rotation can occur.
64. Axial or paralleling bracket
placement errors
• These will occur if
the bracket wings do
not straddle the
vertical long axis of
the crown in a
parallel manner.
• Such errors lead to
improper crown tip.
65. Thickness errors.
• Excess bonding
agent beneath the
bracket base can
cause thickness and
rotational errors.
• Can be eliminated
by pressing the
bracket against the
tooth.
66. Vertical errors
• Vertical errors in
bracket placement
are caused by
placing brackets
gingival or
incisalocclusal to
the center of the
clinical crown.
• May lead to
extrusion or
intrusion.
67. Gingival Concern.
• Partially erupted tooth.
• It is difficult to visualize
the center of the
clinical crown on
partially erupted teeth,
when treating young
patients.
68. Gingival Inflammation
• Top:Healthy gingivae.
• Bottom :The same
case with inflamed
gingivae in the upper
right quadrant.
Gingival inflammation causes foreshortening,effectively
reducing the length of the clinical crowns.
69. Teeth with palatally or lingually
displaced roots.
• Individual teeth with
lingually displaced
roots can produce
short clinical
crowns.
70. Incisal or Occlusal concerns.
• Incisal crown
fractures or
tooth wear
make it difficult
to visualize the
center of the
clinical crown.
• Restore crown
71. 71
Technique for Vertical Bracket Placement
• Measuring the clinical crown heights on
as many fully erupted teeth as possible
72. The bracket placement guide is used to supplement the visual
technique and is most helpful in those cases where the center
of the clinical crown is difficult to locate due to partial eruption,
gingival inflammation, or abnormal tooth size and shape.
73.
74. Chart individualization in premolar extraction cases
74
Chart individualization in deep bite and open bite cases
Deep-bite cases- the incisor and canine brackets 0.5 mm more
occlusally.
Open bite cases- 0.5 mm more gingival
Editor's Notes
After introduction of PEA it became clear that the bracket system required a whole new program of rx mechanics and force to fully realize its potential
Applaince designs and mechanics are closely interrelated
4 elements .
If balance combination of these elements r used, efficient systemised treatment can be achieved.
Variation in one can sustantially influence other elements and undermine effectiveness of treatment approach.
Father of PEA
1972 SWA introduced ,based on science ,included many features of siamise edgewise brackets. Paper on 120 non orth norm cases,
Heavy edgewise forces wr used,no special anchorage control measures( 2nd order bends) wre employed
Wagon wheel –
Center clincial crown-bracket positioned .less wire bending std arch form was needed
Basal bone of mandi an arch form reference
Difficuties in rx mechanics in early years due to heavy forces and possibly due increased tip in ant brackets
Roller coaster
Wide range of brackets .canine – anti tip……
3 incisor bracket with varying torque
Recommended single appliance system
Arch form wider than that of andrews broad or square type
Articulators for diagnostic records and for early splint construction.
Instead of modifying the bracket design ,the developed redefined the rx mechnics
They reexamined andrews orginal findings and account of japanese sources when designing the Mbt bracket systm
Dash and dot – laser numbering STD metal size brackets
Rectangular form replaced by rhomboid-reduced the bulk
For eg Canine tip for first generation SWA 11 ,13 in roth 2nd gen compared researc findin of 8
Additional ant tip cause 3 dis adv
1,created significant drain A/p anchorage
2.Increased tendency of bite deepening during alignment
3.It brought upper canine root apex too close to first premolar root in some cases
Arch wire selection and force levels necsseary subject to adress .for complete modern systemized method of treatment mechanics
Ovoid proved useful in early years
Due extensive arrch form research ,advocated use of three arch forms ,tapered square ovoid …
When superimposed they maily vary in the inter canine and inter premolar width upto 6mm.inter molar width were similar.wided as needed
Following elements make up MBT treatment philosphy
The heart of this techinque is high quality,versatile bracket. Range of bracket systems r available
Accuracy:- gauges and individual bracket postioning charts r recommnd ,indirect bonding
Not possible to Quantify light forces .traditionally <200 gm and 600 >gm heavy forces
such as tissue blancing,patient discomfort and unwanted tooth movement
Pea perfomes wells in 022 slot .
Larger slot more freedom of movement for starting wires hence keep light forces
Later .019/025 rectangular working wires are used have fpund to perfom well
018 slot
Assist the control of canine in premolar extraction cases and some non extraction cases
Bendbacks and laceback continued through leveling aligning until rectangular steel wire.
Possible to do tooth movements .lacebacks control canine and retract them sufficiently
After this en mass a group of six to eight anterior teeth can b moved
One size rectangular wire=19/25 .larger full thinkness less effective in sliding mechanics
Althought 21/25 wires in steel or HANT may be considered later to obtain full expression of the bracket
Techique is full arch approcah and closing loops and sectional wires r seldom used
Theoratically 10 degree slop
Std metal brackets where control is the main requirment
Mid size bracket –less control,avg to small teeth ,whr thr is poor oral hygeine control need is modest
Esthetic brackets –older patients
MOLARS
PREMOLAR:
CANINE ; tip feature of pre adjusted bracket is fully expressed when .019/.025 wire in upper canine .8 degree and 7 degree is expressed
Molar 0 degree tip recommended
Upper premolar author prefer 0 tip with compared tp that 2 degree tip of SWA,crowns of the teeth more upright ,anchorage needs .
Torque is not efficently expressed in contrast tip and in out features . 2 mechanical reasons
Area of torque application is small and depends on the twist effect of realtively small wire compared to bulk of the tooth
.in order to slide in normal practice we use 19/25 in 022 slot .full thickness wire prevent sliding .10 degree slop….
As a result of inefficacy of preadjusted brackets delivering torque extra torque was added to insicors ,molar & lower premolar
Thre is generally need for greater palatal root torque of the upper incisors and labial root toque of lowers.
Upper canine -7 proved to be satisfactory but original SWA value of -11 torque for lower canine has not been satisfactory as tends to leave the canine in a more prominent position. Canine bracket has got versitality upper 7.-7 ,0 and lower 6,-6,0
For upper premolar -7 proved to satisfactory in clinical use
For upper molars -9 of original SWA has proven inadequate and they prefer -14.better control of palatal cusp,reduce interfereneces during fuctions and prevent frm hanging
Coil spring is used to create space
Assist labial root torque in rectangular wire
Hook as it is often considered for cases which require canine retraction or class ii mechanics
O degree tip
-14 torque 0 tip and 10 antirotation
After xtraction of two upper premolars it helpful finishing and detailing
Lower second molars have 0 rotation (compared to 10 degree upper) and normally in these cases it is appropriate to encourage upper molar to rotate mesio-palatallly.
Important to view from correct prespective
Incisors it placed 90 degree to labial surface
In canine and premolar area it placed parallel to occlusal plane
In the molar region ,gauge is placed parellel to occlusal surface individual molar tooth
Non Converatble tubes often preferable to convertible tubes ,cos they are less bulky ,
Stonger ,more comforable and cause fewer interferences
Bracket postioning chart . Measure tooth size either from the patients mouth or plaster models .a row could be chosen for upper arch and a row for lower . Gauges is used placed these measurements
