Introduction The specialty of orthodontics has continued to evolve since its advent in the early 20th century. Changes in treatment philosophy, mechanics, and appliances have helped shape our understanding of orthodontic tooth movement. In the 1890‘s, Edward H. Angle published his classification of malocclusion based on the occlusal relationships of the first molars. This was a major step toward the development of orthodontics because his classification defined normal occlusion. Angle then helped to pioneer the means to treat malocclusions by developing new orthodontic appliances. He believed that if all of the teeth were properly aligned, then no deviation from an ideal occlusion would exist. Angle and his followers strongly believed in non-extraction treatment. His appliance, (Fig. 1), consisted of a tube on each tooth to provide a horizontally positioned rectangular slot. Angle’s edgewise appliance received its name because the archwire was inserted at a 90-degree angle to the plane of insertion.

  • The Effects of Elastic Size and Archwire Type on 3-Dimensional Force Systems When Using Class II Interarch Elastics
    The Effects of Elastic Size and Archwire Type on 3-Dimensional Force Systems When Using Class II Interarch Elastics by Joseph Stanley A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Medical Sciences – Orthodontics University of Alberta ©Joseph Stanley, 2017 Abstract Objectives: An orthodontic simulator (OSIM) device was used to compare the force systems generated by class II elastics on a ½ cusp class II malocclusion using four combinations of two elastic types and two archwire types. Methods: 3-dimensional forces and moments due to class II elastics were measured individually for each tooth (7-7) using Damon Q brackets on the maxillary and mandibular arches. Four test groups (n=44) were compared, each of a different combination of two elastic types (3/16", 2oz and 4.5oz) and two archwire types (0.014" nickel titanium and 0.019" x 0.025" stainless steel). Results: Only the upper canines and lower first molars recorded clinically significant forces (0.3N) and moments (5Nmm). 2oz and 4.5oz class II elastics produced clinically significant vertical extrusive forces and horizontal forces along the archwire to normalize a class II malocclusion. Stainless steel archwire minimized the extrusive forces of the 4.5oz elastics compared to nickel titanium archwire Conclusions: 2oz and 4oz class II elastics produced clinically significant vertical extrusive forces and horizontal forces along the archwire. Archwire type had no effect on 2oz class II elastics whereas 0.019" x 0.025"stainless steel significantly reduced the vertical extrusive effects of the larger 4.5oz elastics. ii Dedication To Jennifer, this was a tag team effort.

Two types of coated archwires were tested: one with a rhodium ion coating and another with a polymer coating. Corresponding uncoated wires of the same size were also tested. These four different wires were divided into treatment groups based on exposure to bracket-related load deflection and storage in PBS at 37±1°C. A three-point bend test in DI water at 37±1°C was performed on specimens at three time points: 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks. Unloading forces at 1, 2, and 3 mm of deflection were recorded. After 12 weeks exposure, three representative specimens from each treatment group along with untested wires were viewed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to provide a qualitative surface topography analysis.

As esthetic wires are introduced, metallic wires will likely be replaced for most orthodontic applications. Wires are assessed by their properties like strength, stiffness, range, formability and weldability. As an ideal archwire has not yet been found, archwires should be selected within the context of their intended use during treatment. This article throws light on the different types of archwires available for orthodontic use. INTRODUCTION: The archwire has been an integral part of the orthodontic appliance, ever since Dr. Edward Angle placed the first appliance into the patient’s mouth. Archwires are designed to move teeth with light continuous forces. These forces may reduce the potential for patient discomfort, tissue hyalinization and undermining resorption. Archwire should behave elastically when a force is applied. To achieve this various archwires are available. Stainless Steel Wires: Stainless steel was first introduced by Dr. F.Hauptmeyer during the First World War at Krupp’s dental polyclinic in Germany for making the prosthesis. The refinement of the drawing process to form wires was invented in the late 1930s by ANGLE.

  • Root Resorption Associated with Orthodontic Tooth Movement: a Systematic Review
    Root resorption associated with orthodontic tooth movement: A Systematic Review A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for The Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Belinda Jessica Weltman, H.B.Sc., D.M.D., M.Sc. ***** The Ohio State University 2009 Master‘s Examination Committee: Dr. Katherine Vig, Advisor Approved by: Dr. Henry W. Fields, Jr. Dr. Shiva Shanker __________________________ Dr. Eloise Kaizar Advisor Graduate Program in Dentistry ABSTRACT Background It is generally accepted that one of the risks associated with orthodontic treatment is apical root resorption. Currently the orthodontic literature on root resorption does not provide a consensus on the factors associated with the onset, severity, and management of root resorption. Root resorption may affect the long-term prognosis and stability of the dentition, which is a compelling reason to identify causal factors so that the risks may be minimized, and the amount of root resorption reduced. Objective To evaluate root resorption as a primary outcome for a population of patients who received orthodontic tooth movement, in order to provide the best available evidence upon which clinical decisions can be made to minimize the risks and severity of root resorption. Search strategy Electronic databases were searched, non-electronic journals hand searched and experts in the field consulted. No language restrictions were placed. Additional missing information was obtained by contacting study authors. ii Selection criteria The following criteria were met for study selection: a randomized clinical trial involving human subjects for orthodontic tooth movement, with fixed appliances, and recording root resorption during or after treatment.
