www.indiandentalacademy.com
49. Anchorage loss during stage I & stage
II
Vertical loop touching the labial surface
of the teeth
Proper arch wire fabrication
Proper location of loops & limitation of the
number of loops
Slightly labial inclination of loops in severe
crowding cases
www.indiandentalacademy.com
50. Vertical loop impinging on the gingival
tissue
(If impinge on gingiva become imbedded by next
visit, Prolong stage I & II)
Careful modification of loops
Slightly labial inclination of loops when arch first
applied
Do not modify the loop without removing from
mouth
www.indiandentalacademy.com
51. Intermaxillary hooks not cranked out
(Vertical portion of I.M.H resting snugly against
the canine +ve braking mechanism)
I.M.H should be cranked out before arch wire is
applied
Use horizontal circle
www.indiandentalacademy.com
52. Distal leg of I.M.H sliding against the lock
pin & becoming engaged in canine bracket
(Prevents free and simple tipping of canine crown
Usually happen when loop arch wire are used to
unravel ant. crowding)
I.M.H should be cranked far enough labially,
engage against the mesial surface of bracket
Use horizontal circle
www.indiandentalacademy.com
53. Elastic over the I.M.H engaging the labial
surface of canine
(Due to using thick elastics or two elastics)
Modify I.M.H so that elastic not
produce undesirable pressure
Use horizontal circle
www.indiandentalacademy.com

2-2½ ounce
Wearing more than one elastic
Pt. must be properly educated in
Function of elastics
Danger of wearing more elastics
www.indiandentalacademy.com
57. Elastics not worn continuously
(Intermittent wearing causes anchor tooth to
become loose, Ant. teeth hardly move, Prolong
Rx anchorage loss)
Proper patient education
www.indiandentalacademy.com
58. Arch wire accidentally engaged in the
slot of second premolar
(Increases friction, In mes.ling molar rotation wire
may acci. engage)
Use of bypass clamp

(not removed by ordinary polishing)
Make always slightly longer than necessary
Do not cut the end of wire until all modifications
and bends
www.indiandentalacademy.com
60. End of arch wires striking the second
molar
(Retards and sometimes stops the distal sliding
of arch wire (usually in upper molar)
Extend the arch wire farther distally
buccal to 2nd molar
If impossible, cut it short enough to
allow it to slide freely until next visit
www.indiandentalacademy.com
61. End of arch wire penetrating gingival tissue
(Usually distal end of lower arch
Gingival tissue (bone) prevent free sliding)
instruct pt. to visit orthodontist if they feel
discomfort or can not engage elastics
www.indiandentalacademy.com
62. Anchorage bends engaging buccal tube
(Once entered in molar tube free sliding is prevented
due to three point contact)
Check the situation every visit
If necessary remove the arch wire, st. it and, make
new AB mesially
www.indiandentalacademy.com
63. Ligating premolar too tightly to arch wire
Arch wire can not slide distally
Ligate the arch wire lightly so that arch is free to
slide
www.indiandentalacademy.com
64. Insufficient anchorage bend in first arch
wire when first applied
Incorporate enough AB to cause the ant.
section to lie against the floor of mucobuccal
fold when distal ends of arch wire is threaded
into molar tubes.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
65. Distorted anchorage bend
(Seen in negligent pt. mesial to lower molar tube,
esp. when lower 2nd premolars are not present)
Examine the arch wire closely
If distorted ,remove from mouth, eliminate the
distortion
www.indiandentalacademy.com
66. Too much anchorage bend
May cause distortion of arch wire
May cause arch wire to rotate in molar tubes
rotate the molars failing to depress molars
Improper toe in
Results in loss of control of anchor teeth &
failure to reduce ant. deep bite.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
67. Proper amount of toe in or toe out by
placing the AW in molar tubes & in ant.
brackets
The wire should pass st. forward & occlusally
as it leaves the tube by action of AB.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
68. Arch wire too soft
AW material must have higher resiliency
Other wise Rx time will increase more
anchorage loss
Starting stage II too soon
If ant. teeth are not in genuine end to end
contact, not free to tip under the forces of
horizontal elastics
www.indiandentalacademy.com
69. Overactivated expansion loops or
improperly bent arch wires
Cause rapid initial labial tipping and spacing of
ant. teeth
More force & time spend to recover original
lab.ling. inclination of ant. teeth
Loss of anchorage
www.indiandentalacademy.com
70. Wrong type of bracket
Do not use edge wise bracket
May allow ample tipping labiolingually but
it restricts mesiodistal tipping and causes loss
of anchorage
www.indiandentalacademy.com
71. Bend – over free end of lock pin
impinging on arch wire
Use short lock pin
Cut the lock pin tail off flush with the side of
bracket
Bend all pins tail to mesial
www.indiandentalacademy.com
72. Arch wire rolling in buccal tube
Avoid too much anchorage bend
and/or too much toe in bend
www.indiandentalacademy.com
73. Improper arch wire form
Arch wire should keep all teeth in the cancellous
through of alveolar bone
Arch wire must be bilaterally similar in form or
should be so shaped as to eliminate any
asymmetry of arch
www.indiandentalacademy.com
74. Upper and lower arch wire forms not
coordinated
Teeth will assume faulty relationship
Ant. or pos. cross bite cuspal interference
prolonged Rx time
www.indiandentalacademy.com
75. Internal diameter of buccal tube too
small or large
Best internal diameter 0.036” for 0.016” wire
If less free sliding will reduced
If more molar control lessen, depression
force on ant. lessen
www.indiandentalacademy.com
76. Length 0.20” – 0.25”
Shorter tube lessens molar control & force of
anchor bend,
Longer tube more control, reduces the
distance of arch wire between mesial end of
molar tube and premolar bracket operational
difficulties during stage 3.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
77. Retaining looped arch wire longer than
necessary
Danger of
loops moving into such positions that
they press against labial surface of ant. teeth
Not transmit tooth depressing force as accurately
as an arch wire without loop
Cuspid will depress more than incisors
www.indiandentalacademy.com
78. Binding of doubled-back arch wire in flat
oval tube
Binding will occur by having the legs too far
apart
May be due to too large a radius where the
arch wire returned on itself, or too long a
vertical section extending from the hook that is
wound around the arch.
Legs of double back are not ll.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
79. Curving arch wires between expansion
loops
Make the arch wire st. between the loops
If need to modify the form make bends in the loops
When engaged, loops become distorted
rotations of the sections of archwire
If curved three point contact inhibit free lab.ling.
tipping
www.indiandentalacademy.com
80. Improper ligature tie at canine
do not pass ligature ties on canines over the
incisal of brackets prevents free tipping
It should pass directly distally across the labial
surface of canine
www.indiandentalacademy.com
81. Anchorage bend too far mesially
Ideal location at the mesial of anchor molar
It may become restricted by ligature tie on
bicuspid, preventing free distal sliding
Arch wire will be projected towards the occlusal
plane and be deformed by occlusal forces.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
82. Anchorage curves instead of bends
Gently curved anchor bend can be initially
placed so far mesially in the arch wire that it is
unnecessary to remove the arch wire from
mouth in order to make a new bend farther .
www.indiandentalacademy.com
83. Using 0.014” instead of0.016” wire
insufficient force from its AB to prevent the
anchor molars from being tipped mesially .
Ant. Deep bite will also not open

resistance slow response movements of ant.
torquing & IIing against high resistance slow
response movements of PM & molars.
Although resistance & response are eq. type,
seldom equal in magnitude considered main cause
of anchor loss in stage III
71.2% anchorage loss in 3rd stage (Swain)

103. Anchorage loss by II ing auxiliaries
when ever possible the ii ing aux. should be
opposed to one another
Even though forces exerted by springs equal,
II ing may not occur at same rate (cuspid root
is often larger)
In 2nd PM cases complete reciprocity not
possible because more II ing spring in front of
extn. space than behind

104. Anchorage loss due to rectangular wire for
torquing
Force exerted by rectangular wire so great roots
resist being move lingually more crown labial
movement.
Class II elastics also can not prevent forward
movement due to use of rect. wires
Anchorage loss due to lack of elastic
wearing
If class II elastics are not worn, U –arch as a whole
move too forward while roots of teeth of dental
arches are uprighted.

105. Chair side vector analysis of trt. problems
Employs direct measurement & observation
to differentiate between causes of trt.
problems
Question pt. about elastic cooperation, use tongue
blade
Measure elastic force with strain gauge
Measure AB force by disengaging lock pins
Observe pt. cheek & temples for periodic bilateral
muscular contraction of clinching

Measure changes in arch width
106. Also employs inferences to differentiate
between causes of trt. problems
(Inferential diagnosis is form of reasoning in which the
presence or absence of causative factor is
assumed from presence or absence of equal &
opp. reaction force.)
Orthodontist can use inference to detect the pres.
of abnormal force when trt. is unsatisfactory.

107. When seeking cause of problem in trt.
It is helpful to know typical signs of abnormal force,
such as distal tipping of L- molar due to poor elastic
cooperation
It is imp. to know other causes of problem & how to
diff. between them
To acknowledge that imposition of orthodontic force
may augment some existing forces &resistance for
others
Complex problem may arise, & analysis of many
variables in each indiv. req. observation,
measurement & differential deduction

108. Conclusion
A thorough knowledge of basic principles
involved in Begg mechanotherapy is
essential to avoid any form of problems
during treatment.
An awareness of all possible problems help
us in every stage of treatment, leading to
excellent treatment results.
