Biomechanical implications of rotation correction in orthodontics: Case series
Journal Title: International Dental Journal of Student Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
According to Bacetti 1998 tooth rotation is defined as observable mesiolingual or distolingual intraalveolar displacement of the tooth around its longitudinal axis1 Tooth rotations cause difficulty in finishing fixed orthodontic treatment In Beggs technique rotation springs are used to correct tooth rotations These springs are engaged into the vertical slot of the bracket In case of preadjusted edgewise technique and edgewise technique brackets doesnt have a vertical slot So alternative methods are used to correct tooth rotations2 Various methods include engaging NiTi arch wire into the bracket slot off centering the bracket using rotation wedges creating a couple on the rotated tooth by using ligature ties3 The purpose of this case series is to discuss the biomechanics involved in rotation correction using bracket offsetting and coupleKeywords Couple Bracket offsetting
