determinate vs indeterminate force systemKumar Adarsh
This document discusses force systems in orthodontics. It describes determinate and indeterminate force systems, with determinate systems providing better control of forces and moments. One-couple systems are created using a cantilever spring or auxiliary arch wire tied to a tooth at one end. Two-couple systems are created when an arch wire is tied into brackets on both ends. Common applications of one and two-couple systems include intrusion/extrusion arches and lingual arches. Segmented arch mechanics allow precise control but require more wire bending compared to continuous arch wires.
This document discusses common sense mechanics in orthodontics. It is presented in 8 parts that cover topics like forces and moments, static equilibrium, crossbites, and the diving board concept. The diving board concept is used to explain how stiffness is inversely proportional to the cube of length. Doubling the length of a cantilever like a diving board reduces its stiffness to one-eighth. This allows orthodontists to control forces by utilizing the length of archwires.

This document discusses different types of anchorage in orthodontics. Anchorage is defined as the resistance to tooth movement provided by anatomical units. There are different classifications of anchorage based on the manner of force application, location, and number of teeth providing resistance. Intra-oral sources include teeth and bone, while extra-oral includes occipital bone and muscles. Anchorage requirements depend on factors like number of teeth moving, type of movement, treatment duration, and occlusal interlock. Anchorage loss can be prevented by reinforcing the anchorage unit, subdividing tooth movement, using tipping movements, controlling forces, and using temporary skeletal anchorage.
The document discusses orthodontic bracket prescriptions, including:
1) Early edgewise brackets required wire bends to control tooth movement, while contemporary brackets have built-in prescriptions for in-out, tip, and torque adjustments.
2) Lawrence Andrews introduced the pre-adjusted edgewise appliance with customized brackets programmed for specific tooth control without wire bends.
3) Later prescriptions like Roth and MBT incorporated changes like more torque in upper incisors to compensate for bracket limitations, while individual adaptations are often needed for specific cases.
This document discusses several orthodontic appliances including the Nance appliance, transpalatal arch, quad helix, lip bumper, and tongue crib. It provides details on the design, indications, mechanisms of action, advantages and disadvantages of each appliance. The document is intended as an educational guide for orthodontic residents, as it is presented by several orthodontists and covers the key aspects of these common fixed functional appliances.
Space closure by frictionless mechanics 2 /certified fixed orthodontic course...Indian dental academy
This document discusses various methods for space closure during orthodontic treatment. It begins by stating that space closure is dictated by treatment objectives and can be achieved through different mechanisms. The goals for any space closure method are then outlined, including differential tooth movement control and producing an optimal biological response. Key determinants of space closure like the amount of crowding, anchorage, and tooth inclinations are also discussed. The document then goes on to compare sliding/friction mechanics versus loop/frictionless mechanics. It provides details on considerations for various anchorage situations and techniques for individual canine retraction. In summary, the document provides an overview of factors to consider for space closure and compares different mechanical approaches.
This document discusses the three orders of tooth movement that can be achieved through bending orthodontic archwires: first, second, and third order bends. First order bends move teeth inwards/outwards and can be used for derotation. Second order bends tip teeth vertically and are used for anchorage. Third order bends torque individual teeth by twisting the wire. Special pliers can help perform specific bends, like step pliers for first order bends and rose pliers for third order torque bends. Proper bending technique is important to avoid wire fractures.
Anchorage management is essential in orthodontics to control unwanted tooth movement during treatment. Various classifications and sources of anchorage are discussed. Anchorage planning and different savers like reinforcement, subdivision, tipping, and skeletal anchorage can help minimize anchorage loss. Different appliance systems utilize anchorage differently, like the edgewise appliance relying on distal tipping of posterior teeth to neutralize forces. Maintaining optimal force levels and proper anchorage are key to achieving desired tooth movements.

This document discusses biomechanics in orthodontics. It covers physical variables like Newton's laws of motion and terminology used in orthodontics such as vectors, forces, moments, and centers of resistance and rotation. It also discusses forces related variables including magnitude and direction of forces, root surface area, duration of forces, and how drugs can affect the response to orthodontic forces. The relationship between force magnitude, duration, and type of tooth movement is explained. Maintaining an optimal force leads to more efficient movement while excessive forces can damage tissues.
Forces, moments, and couples are important design factors in orthodontic appliances. A force is a push or pull that can move an object, while a moment is the turning effect of a force around a pivot point like a tooth's center of resistance. Applying a couple, or two equal and opposite forces, can produce pure rotation without translation. The magnitude of a moment depends on the force applied and its distance from the center of resistance. Different moment-to-force ratios control the degree of tooth movement, from uncontrolled tipping to bodily movement to root torque. Wider brackets allow for larger moments and easier control of root position during space closure compared to narrow brackets.
This document discusses basic terminology used to study tooth movement in orthodontics, including forces, moments, rotation, and translation. It explains that a force is a push or pull acting along a straight line, and a moment is the product of a force times the distance from the center of resistance of the tooth. Depending on where forces are applied in relation to the center of resistance, they can cause either translation of the tooth along the direction of the force, or rotation. Understanding these concepts is key to studying biomechanics and applying forces for desired tooth movement in orthodontic treatment.

Orthodontic tooth movements and biomechanics.Sk Aziz Ikbal
The document discusses biomechanics principles related to orthodontic tooth movement. It covers topics such as:
- Forces applied to teeth can cause movement through bone remodeling.
- Biomechanics refers to mechanics applied to biological systems. Knowledge of forces is needed to control orthodontic treatment.
- Teeth can move through light forces during normal function but heavier sustained forces over 1 second are needed for orthodontic tooth movement.
- Forces have magnitude and direction, while scalars only have magnitude. Resultant forces and moments from multiple applied forces are calculated.
- Different force systems and moment-to-force ratios produce different types of tooth movement such as tipping, translation, rotation, and torque.

The document summarizes key concepts from the article "Common Sense Mechanics" by Mulligan T.F. It discusses how common sense is a necessary ingredient when applying orthodontic mechanics to correct malocclusions. It provides examples to illustrate that visually assessing forces based on wire position can often lead to incorrect conclusions without incorporating an understanding of mechanics. It presents a simple rule for determining intrusive or extrusive forces based on whether a wire bend is centered or off-centered. It also discusses concepts like center of resistance, translation, rotation, and differential torque. The summary emphasizes that a thorough grasp of underlying mechanical principles combined with intelligent clinical decision making is needed to achieve orthodontic treatment goals.
- Biomechanics in orthodontics refers to the reaction of dental and facial structures to orthodontic forces.
- Key concepts in biomechanics include force, center of mass, center of resistance, center of rotation, moment, and couple.
- The different types of tooth movement that can occur due to forces and moments include tipping, translation, root movement, rotation, intrusion, and extrusion. Efficient orthodontic treatment requires sound treatment plans backed by sound mechanical/biomechanical plans.

Biomechanics in Orthodontic tooth movementsAswanth E.P
1) Orthodontic treatment is based on applying prolonged pressure to teeth to induce bone remodeling and tooth movement using biomechanical principles.
2) Key biomechanical concepts include forces, moments, centers of resistance and rotation, and different types of tooth movement such as tipping, translation, and rotation.
3) Proper application of these concepts through different force systems allows the orthodontist to design effective treatment plans to efficiently correct malocclusions.
This document summarizes a seminar on mechanical concepts in orthodontics given by Dr. Sandhya Anand under the guidance of Prof. Ashima Valiathan. It discusses key concepts including scalars and vectors, resultants and components of orthodontic force systems, centers of resistance, moments of force, and couples. Understanding these basic mechanical principles is important for optimizing tooth movement, anchorage control, and designing new orthodontic appliances.
1. Forces in orthodontics are vectors that have magnitude, direction, and sense. The center of resistance is the point where a force must pass through to produce pure translation of a tooth.
2. When a force does not pass through the center of resistance, it produces a moment that causes rotation. Different force systems and moments produce different types of tooth movement such as tipping, translation, root movement, and rotation.
3. The principle of action and reaction applies to orthodontic tooth movement. Applying a force to one tooth produces reactive forces on other teeth, so anchorage control is important. Document provides examples of how to determine forces from wire bends and correct different malocclusions using mechanics.
Types of tooth movement in orthodontics (4th BDS)Cing Sian Dal
There are three main types of orthodontic tooth movement: translation (bodily movement), pure rotation, and combined rotation and translation (tipping movement). Different levels of optimal force are required depending on the type of movement. Tipping requires 35-60g of force since only half the periodontal ligament area is compressed. Translation requires 70-120g since the entire area is compressed. Intrusion requires only 10-20g to avoid damage from heavy forces concentrating at the root apex. Root uprighting and torqueing also use force couples that compress within the crown, requiring 50-100g.

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

The physical concepts that form the foundation of orthodontic
mechanics are the key to understanding how orthodontic
appliances work and are critical for designing new appliances.
Orthodontic appliances obey the laws of physics and can be
activated to generate the desired force systems to achieve
predetermined treatment goals for individual patients.
Through understanding of the basic mechanics underlying
orthodontic appliance activation is the ultimate goal of this
study.

IN RESPONSE TO APPLICATION OF
ORTHODONTIC FORCE SYSTEMS

# Tipping
# Crown movement
# Pure translation
# Root movement
# Pure rotation
6. FORCE
Forces are vectors, having both direction and magnitude. To move a
tooth predictably, a force needs to be applied in the desired direction,
with the desired magnitude, and at the correct position on the tooth.
There is only one point on a tooth
through which a force can be applied
that will move the tooth in the direction
of the force without tipping or rotating it.
This point is the center of resistance and
a force acting through it will cause pure
translation of the tooth
7. If a tooth were truly a free body
floating in space, the center of
resistance would be coincident with
the tooth's center of mass or gravity.
However, teeth are restrained by
surrounding tissues, most notably
the periodontal ligament (PDL).
The location of the center of
resistance,therefore depends on the
size and shape of the tooth as well
as on the quality and level of the
supporting structures.
8. Forces, as vectors, can be combined or
divided mathematically. Two or more
forces acting at a single point can be
added using simple trigonometry or
vector addition and represented as a
single force at that point.
9. MOMENTS
When a force is applied at any point other than through the center of
resistance, in addition to moving the center of resistance in the
direction of the force, a moment is created.
10. A force applied directly through the center of resistance will cause pure
translation of the tooth in the direction of the force with no rotation.
If the same force is applied away from the center of resistance, toward the
crown for example, the tooth will move in the direction of the force and there
will be a moment created to tip the crown in the direction of the force
11. COUPLES
Two equal and opposite, noncolinear forces are called a couple. The 2 forces
cancel out any tendency for the center of resistance of the tooth to move, but the
moments created by the 2 forces do not cancel each other.
The moment of a couple is really the sum of the moments
created by each of the 2 forces that make up the couple:
F 1 and F 2 are equal but opposite. Therefore, the magnitude
of a moment created by a couple is F(d 1 + d2) or F times the
distance between the 2 forces, M = Fd.
12. A premolar is rotated by stretching
an elastic in one direction from the
buccal attachment and another
elastic from the lingual attachment
in the opposite direction. Thus, 2
equal and opposite forces are
applied and the tooth rotates around
its center of resistance without
translation.
13. To achieve a first-order
couple, the wire is
angulated to produce equal
magnitudes of force at the
mesial and distal aspects of
the bracket in opposite,
buccal and lingual
directions
A twist or torque in the
wire will produce intrusive
and extrusive forces that
are equal and opposite
acting at the buccal and
lingual aspects of the
bracket slot to produce a
third-order couple
To create a second order
couple, the wire produces
equal but opposite intrusive
and extrusive forces at the
mesial and distal aspects
14. EQUIVALENT FORCE SYSTEMS
A comprehensive way of describing
tooth movement is to express the
components of movement experienced
by the tooth at the center of resistance,
which include both translation and
rotation.
15. MOMENT-TO-FORCE RATIOS AND CENTERS
OF ROTATION
The goal of orthodontic treatment is to move teeth a
prescribed distance in a predetermined direction to enhance
the esthetic and functional aspects of occlusion and achieve
a stable result.
By varying the ratio of moment to force applied to teeth, the
quality of tooth movement can be changed among tipping,
crown movement, translation, and root movement.
By changing the ratio of the moment from the applied
couple to the force applied, the center of rotation of tooth
movement can be varied to produce the type of tooth
movement desired.
16. TIPPING
If the center of resistance is 10 mm apical to the bracket, this moment is 10 mm times
the magnitude of the force.
For example, a distal force of 100 g at the bracket will create an equivalent of 100 g of
distal force at the center of resistance plus a moment of 1,000 g-mm in the direction of
distal crown tip.
17. CROWN MOVEMENT
If the center of resistance is 10 mm apical to the bracket, a force alone will
produce a moment that is 10 mm times the magnitude of the force.
18. PURE TRANSLATION
When a force to move a tooth is applied at a bracket that is 10 mm away from the center of
resistance, a tendency for the tooth to tip is created that is 10 mm times the magnitude of the force.
To counteract the tendency for tipping, a couple can be applied intentionally to produce a moment
of equal magnitude in the opposite direction
19. ROOT MOVEMENT
The couple applied more than negates this tendency to tip, but the center of
resistance still moves in the direction of the force while the crown does not.
An applied moment-to-force ratio of about 13/1 will result in root movement while
the crown of the tooth remains relatively stationary.
20. PURE ROTATION
The moment-to-force ratio is infinite and the center of rotation is coincident
with the center of resistance. This is referred to as pure rotation.
21. B. PREDICTING THE FORCE SYSTEMS CREATED BY
ORTHODONTIC APPLIANCE ACTIVATIONS
The force systems produced by orthodontic appliance activations
must be resolved separately from the actual forces and moments
that individual teeth will experience at their respective centers of
resistance.
To deduce how each tooth will be displaced as a result of the
activation, the equivalent force systems acting at the centers of
resistance must be assessed subsequently.
1. Static Equilibrium
2. Equal and Opposite Forces
3. One Couple Appliances--Statically Determinate Systems
4. Two-Couple Appliances--Statically Indeterminate Systems
22. STATIC EQUILIBRIUM
Static equilibrium implies that, at any point within a body, the
sum of the forces and moments acting on a body is zero; i.e., if no
net forces or moments are acting on the body, the body remains
at rest(static).
Statics is the field of mechanics
that examines the action of forces
acting on bodies at rest.
The orthodontic application is that for every appliance, but not
necessarily for every tooth to which it is attached, the sum of the
forces and the sum of the moments must be equal to zero.
23. EQUAL AND OPPOSITE FORCES
Perhaps the simplest orthodontic
appliance to analyze is the elastic
band.
An elastic band stretched between
two points of attachment will
produce a force of some magnitude
at one end and, by the laws of
equilibrium, produce an opposite
force of the same magnitude at the
other end.
24. DETERMINATE VS. INDETERMINATE
FORCE SYSTEMS
Force systems can be defined as:
A. Statically Determinate – in which the moments and
forces can be easily discerned, measured and evaluated.
B. Statically Indeterminate – which are too complex for
precisely measuring all forces and moments involved in the
equilibrium. Only the direction of net moments and
approximate net force levels can be determined.
25. A 1-couple orthodontic appliance is
inserted into a bracket or tube at 1
end and is tied as a point contact at
the other, Because it is not engaged
into an orthodontic bracket, the end
that is tied as a point contact cannot
produce a couple but only a simple
force at that site.
The other end, which is engaged in
the bracket slot, can produce both a
force and a couple at that attachment.
The appliance is a 1-couple system
because a couple is generated only at
the site of full engagement.
ONE COUPLE APPLIANCES
STATICALLY DETERMINATE SYSTEMS
26. It is statically determinate
because the magnitudes of
the forces and moments
produced can be determined
clinically after the appliance
is inserted into the bracket.
This can be done by inserting
the appliance into the bracket
and measuring the force
required to activate the wire to
the site where it will be tied as a
point contact.
27. An example of a 1-couple orthodontic appliance is a long arm or
cantilever activated to extrude a high maxillary buccal canine
A long arm or
cantilever to
extrude a high
canine
The passive wire
showing the angle
between the molar
bracket and the wire
The force system exerted by
the wire is in equilibrium
with a crown-mesial moment
at the molar, and equal and
opposite extrusive and
intrusive forces at the canine
and molar, respectively
28. TWO-COUPLE APPLIANCES
STATICALLY INDETERMINATE SYSTEMS
A 2-couple appliance is one that is engaged into attachments at
both ends. A couple, therefore, may be generated by the wire at
either or both attachment sites.
Because of the inability to measure force systems produced by 2-
couple appliances clinically, they are referred to as being statically
indeterminate.
29. The force systems produced by 2-couple orthodontic appliances
depend on both the wire geometry and bracket angulation
relationships.
Equal and opposite bracket-
wire angle relationships
result in equal and opposite
couples with no forces
Equal bracket-wire angle
relationships in the same
direction result in equal
couples in the same direction
with large forces to maintain
appliance equilibrium
If bracket-wire angle
relationships are unequal, the
attachment with the largest
angle will have the largest
couple and resultant forces will
be in a direction opposite this
moment to maintain equilibrium
30. The forces and
moments produced by
a straight segment of
round wire inserted
into 2 orthodontic
brackets were first
described by Burstone
and Koenig in 1974.
31. Equal and oppositely angled brackets result in equal and
opposite couples
As 1 bracket angulation decreases, the magnitude of the
couple at that bracket decreases and forces result
When the angulation of 1 bracket is half that of the other, no
couple is experienced at the bracket with the smaller angulation
and forces are consequently increased
As the bracket angle continues to decrease at 1 end of the appliance,
the couple at the lesser angled bracket is in the same direction as at the
greater angled bracket and forces are even greater
As the bracket angle continues to decrease at 1 end of the appliance,
the couple at the lesser angled bracket is in the same direction as at the
greater angled bracket and forces are even greater
34. When the apex of the V bend is halfway between the brackets,
the wire exerts equal and opposite couples at the 2
attachments and no forces
As the V bend is moved off center, the couple nearer the bend
increases and the couple further from the bend decreases.
Forces result to maintain appliance equilibrium
When the V bend is at ½ the distance between the brackets, a
couple is only present at the bracket nearer the bend. No couple is
experienced at the bracket further from the bend, and forces result
to maintain equilibrium
When the V bend is very close to 1 bracket, couples in the same
direction are experienced at both brackets, with the larger couple at
the bracket closer to the bend. Forces increase as the bend is moved
further off center
A step bend, regardless of where it is placed,
results in equal couples in the same direction at
both attachments. Forces are at a maximum
35. C. PREDICTING HOW TEETH WILL MOVE IN
RESPONSE TO ORTHODONTIC APPLIANCE
ACTIVATIONS
It is important to distinguish between the 2 concepts: teeth move in response to
forces and moments applied at their brackets, and orthodontic appliances are
activated to transfer forces and moments to the brackets of teeth.
36. PREDICTING THE RESULT OF APPLIANCE
ACTIVATION
Using the laws of static mechanics, the force systems generated by
an orthodontic appliance are calculated to discern the forces and
moments transferred to teeth at their points of attachment.
37. A 1-couple appliance is used
to move a canine buccally, out
of crossbite. The force system
exerted by the appliance in
the occlusal view
Forces exerted by the appliance
at the brackets (black) and the
equivalent tbrce systems at the
centers of resistance (gray)
from a mesial aspect
38. DESIGNING AN ORTHODONTIC APPLIANCE
The steps of force system analysis are reversed if the
objective is designing an appliance to move teeth
predictably.
First, the desired force systems at the centers of resistance
are determined.
From this, the force systems required at the brackets can be
calculated and an appliance designed to deliver the desired
forces and moments.
39. Designing an orthodontic appliance. Desired force
systems at the centers of resistance to translate 2 teeth
toward each other without tipping
Force systems necessary at the brackets to
achieve the desired force systems
Closing loop designed to deliver the necessary
force systems at the attachments of the 2 teeth
Reanalysis of the appliance's effects shows that space
closing forces placed at the brackets (black) as seen from the
occlusal view will cause the teeth to move toward
each other and rotate (gray)
40. CONCLUSION
The components of comprehensive orthodontic treatment, preliminary
alignment, overbite control, space closure, root paralleling, and
finishing, rely on a series of biomechanical processes.
The choice of appliances and techniques used by practitioners varies
radically among individuals, but the fundamental forces and
moments they produce are universal.
Appliances will always act according to the laws of physics.
Understanding the basic biomechanical principles involved in
effecting controlled tooth movement makes achieving successful
orthodontic treatment outcomes more predictable and consistent.
