A bracket design proposal for the first molar
Journal Title: RSBO - Year 2010, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: The advent of bracket bonding simplified the assembly of orthodontic braces, besides giving more comfort to the patient and decreasing the risk of decalcification. However, there is no first molar bracket with accessory tube and hooks in the market, except for the convertible type. Objective: To present a patent for utility model of a bracket Roth prescription, Straight-Wire technique for first molar, in order to facilitate orthodontic treatment where there is a need for placing accessories in second molars. Material and methods: This patent consists of a molar bracket for bonding, which contains a retentive base for this, similar to the bracket used in the Edgewise technique, with fins for placing alastic or metal ligature, but containing pre-angles and torques as the tubes of the molar Straight-Wire technique with Roth prescription. It also includes an accessory tube for placing arches or cantilevers and hooks for placing elastics. Results and conclusion: With this bracket design proposal it is possible to obtain an accessory that facilitates the inclusion of the second molar in the assembly of the orthodontic brace without the use of bands. Moreover, this bracket has fins for placing ligatures, accessory tube for placing arches or cantilevers and hooks for placing elastics.
