  if you are intersted in this article please follow for more readings https://myorthodonticsblogg.blogspot.com/     👈🏻 Device assisted approach : 1) Direct electric current effect on tooth movment: - It's a mechanism passed on applying electric current on different sites during the orthodontic treatment to generate local response & accelerate the bone remodeling. - Pressure site -->   anode is placed - Tension site -->   cathode is placed Disadvantages : The bulkiness of the device and its irritation to the patient is the main drawback, so to overcome this -->   Studies where made to invent a  BIOCATALYTIC FUEL CELL to generate electricity intraorally using enzymes and glucose as fuel. -It's placed on the gingiva near the alveolar bone. -Small in size / minimal tissue injury Disadvantages : - Short  lifetime - Poor power density   2)Cyclic force device effect on tooth movement : Nishimura et al in 2008 , used a Ni-Ti...

  if you are intersted in this article please follow for more readings https://myorthodonticsblogg.blogspot.com/       👈🏻 Arch sequencing depends on : 1-   Archwire Types 2-   Archwire Functions 3-   Archwire Sequencing according to cases (where different situations requires sequences ) 4-   Pain associated with Archwire placement and activation  INTRODUCTION        A successful orthodontic therapy depends not only on manual skills and knowledge of treatment steps but also on knowledge and choice of materials used. One of the major components of fixed orthodontic therapy is the choice of wires. Orthodontic wires are defined as devices comprising a wire conforming to the alveolar or dental arch, which is used as an anchorage for correcting irregularities in the position of teeth . Therefore, the aim of the this assignment   was to focus on the differences in the features of wires as well a...

  if you are intersted in this article please follow for more readings https://myorthodonticsblogg.blogspot.com/        👈🏻 The occlusion research (study of the non-orthodontic normals) had been launched to get a better understanding of occlusion and how it was related to the buccolabial surfaces of the crowns. There was no intention originally to produce a new appliance, but the need for one became evident.       The arising concept was to Pre-program suitable treatment into the appliance and therefore the SWA was developed. The built-in features of the SWA guide the teeth along direct vector lines, eliminating jiggling, round-tripping and other excessive movements. Andrews’s philosophy of treatment     A bracket type for each tooth type:       Since within any dentition, teeth differ from each other, therefore, each tooth would require its own bracket.    Measurements of the non-orthodo...
