Preadjusted Edgewise Fixed Orthodontic Appliances

Explore the possibilities of preadjusted edgewise appliances in orthodontics with this essential resource

Preadjusted Edgewise Fixed Orthodontic Appliances: Principles and Practice comprehensively covers the increasingly popular preadjusted edgewise technique in orthodontics.

The book integrates clinical practice and research findings, focusing on the biomechanics and clinical management of patients with preadjusted edgewise appliances. A unique learning resource for specialists and trainees in orthodontics, the book is highly illustrated and broad in scope, covering everything from informed patient consent to clinical techniques to information about how to manage patient malocclusions. Core topics include:

  • A thorough introduction to the principles of treatment planning, orthodontic biomechanics, anchorage, informed patient consent, and the dentolegal aspects of orthodontic treatment
  • An exploration of the preadjusted edgewise appliance, including bracket design, bracket placement, orthodontic bonding and debonding, archwires, mini-implants (TADs) and auxiliaries
  • Comprehensive description of the stages of treatment with preadjusted edgewise appliances, including alignment and levelling, controlled space closure, finishing and retention
  • Information on the management of the major malocclusions (Class II, Class III, anterior open bite, deep overbite and transverse problems) with preadjusted edgewise appliances

Perfect for postgraduate dentists undergoing specialist training in orthodontics, specialist practitioners, and hospital consultant orthodontists, Preadjusted Edgewise Fixed Orthodontic Appliances: Principles and Practice will also be useful to dentists with a special interest in orthodontics, orthodontic therapists, and orthodontic nurses who seek a comprehensive manual of the most popular fixed orthodontic appliance technique.

Preface

‘We find that the very principle upon which teeth are made to grow irregularly is capable, if properly directed, of bringing them even again. This principle is the power which many parts (especially bones) have of moving out of the way of mechanical pressure.’

John Hunter (1728–1793), Chapter VI, Irregularities of the teeth, History of the Human Teeth (1771)

Sustained mechanical pressure will move teeth that are not ankylosed. Needless to say, placing a fixed appliance, ligating an archwire and watching the teeth move over time may appear relatively easy to the uninitiated. However, planned and guided movement of teeth into their ideal aesthetic, functional and stable positions, whilst mitigating the undesirable effects of treatment, and achieving this in a reasonable time frame with minimum patient discomfort, is far from easy.

Dental students and orthodontic trainees in their early years will often observe their teachers assessing a patient's teeth intently, deep in thought. It is no coincidence that orthodontics has long been known as the ‘thinking person's specialty’, and is, in fact, the first established specialty in dentistry and one of the first throughout medicine. Orthodontics is a complex and multifaceted specialty, requiring, amongst other things, a thorough understanding of normal and aberrant craniofacial growth and development, dentofacial aesthetics and function, and the biomechanical principles and utilisation of a variety of appliances. As such, learning orthodontics requires dedication and hard work – there is no effortless path and no available shortcuts.

Most credible graduate orthodontic specialty training programmes now run over three years full‐time (this has been the UK model for many years), or a part‐time equivalent. In the UK, those desiring to learn more about multidisciplinary care, orthognathic surgery, and cleft and craniofacial surgery require an additional two years of full‐time training and further examinations. First‐year graduate trainees in orthodontics often feel like outsiders, overwhelmed by the highly esoteric and technical language being used around them, new concepts and even new instruments. Confusion is the order of the day. It takes sustained effort to assimilate and grasp the significance of all the factors required in orthodontic treatment, particularly with fixed appliances. However, over time, and usually by the middle to the end of the second year, through practice and immersion, the language becomes comprehensible, the concepts understandable, and the invisible connections between the various aspects of orthodontics become visible.

Modern preadjusted edgewise bracket designs can trace their ancestry to the original edgewise appliance, designed by Dr Edward H. Angle, and first introduced on 2 June 1925 at the Fourth Annual Meeting of the Edward Angle Society of Orthodontists. Interestingly, initially Angle did not name the appliance. The term ‘edgewise’ refers to the archwire, meaning that a rectangular archwire is placed into a horizontal bracket slot via its narrower edge, such that it has a larger buccolingual dimension compared with its occlusogingival dimension. A number of important advances in orthodontics followed; however, from a technical perspective, the next notable advance was the introduction, by Dr Lawrence Andrews, of preadjusted brackets to be used with straight wires. Added to this was the development of the acid‐etch bonding technique and its subsequent application in orthodontics, together with developments in archwire materials, all of which have advanced fixed appliance therapy significantly.

Preadjusted edgewise orthodontic appliances provide the clinician with the unique ability to control tooth movement reliably, in the three planes of space and round the three axes of rotation. This three‐dimensional control over tooth movement requires expertise, discretionary judgement and finesse, and is subject to misapplication in untrained hands.

Didactic teaching of orthodontics can only be delivered in segments, each of which, metaphorically speaking, is analogous to the fragments of a jigsaw puzzle. No matter in which order the segments are presented to the student, until all the segments have been
