Chapter 1 General considerations of lingual orthodontics

 

1. Why lingual orthodontics?

 

2. Mechanical differences between labial orthodontics and lingual orthodontics

1) Loading point of force application

2) Intrusion force for anterior teeth

3) Minimal rotation tendency of molar

4) The tendency of buccal root torque

5) Effect of orofacial muscle

 

3. Bracket bonding method

.Direct bonding system (DBS)

.Indirect bonding system (IDBS)

1) Bracket bonding without set-up model

2) Bracket bonding with set-up model

 

4. Retraction mechanisms in lingual orthodontics

The prerequisites for En mass retraction

1) Leveling

2) Torque establishment

3) Movement pattern

4) M/F ratio

5) Anchorage value

6) Anchorage reinforcement

 

5. Instruments necessary for lingual orthodontics

 

6. Tandem Archwire Mechanism (TAM)

.Lingual bracket with multi-slot

1) Fujita Lingual Bracket (FLB)

2) Chois Lingual Bracket (CLB)
