Alignment & Leveling Woes : There were noticeable problems with the alignment and leveling of the upper anterior teeth. This was particularly evident in both the occlusal and submento-vertex views, indicating a need for better planning and execution. 3. Inadequate Arch Shape : The arch shape deviated from the ideal U-shape, which could negatively impact the patient's bite and overall function. This aspect requires immediate attention to ensure proper occlusion. 4. Attachment Issues : The positioning and thickness of attachments were inadequate, particularly on the upper left canine, where the doctor specifically requested no attachment placement. This could lead to ineffective tooth movement and discomfort for the patient. 5. Class III Elastic Mismanagement : The use of Class III elastics on the left side for over three months was a significant oversight. This prolonged applic...

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...
