For tooth movement, your dentist can recommend you to an orthodontist. There, depending on your teeth, he will decide if you need treatment. If you do, he usually will give you braces, but he may also use retainers, permanant retainers, or invisible braces. Each part of the braces has some part in moving the teeth. The wire guides your teeth, and the brackets attach your teeth to the wire. If you get rubber bands, they help to move your jaws closer together. The orthodontist may also use stoppers, or little balls of glue, to keep your wire from sliding around much. He also uses elastics, which looks like a chain of many tiny rubber bands attached together, which he would put around each of your brackets to keep your teeth from spacing out.

Why is the bridge is not touching the buccal surface o the tooth in Adams clasp?

In an Adams clasp, the bridge does not touch the buccal surface of the tooth to allow for proper flexibility and movement of the clasp. This design prevents excessive pressure on the tooth, reducing the risk of discomfort or periodontal issues. Additionally, the slight separation allows for easier insertion and removal of the dental appliance while maintaining stability during function.

Who is responsible for the safety of appliances?

The manufacturer is initially responsible for the safety of appliances that he makes and sells. Once appliances are purchased and placed in a workplace, the management of the workplace is responsible for ensuring that each appliance remains in proper working condition. Then the user is responsible for using the appliance properly and for ensuring that all safety devices are in place before it is used. Maintenance people who work on an appliance are responsible for returning it in safe and proper operating condition, or for tagging it, and perhaps locking it out, to prevent use when it is not ready for use.

What is Difference between tipping and torquing movement of tooth?

Tipping and torquing are two different types of tooth movement in orthodontics. Tipping refers to the movement of a tooth around a center of rotation that is located near the root, causing the crown to move in one direction while the root moves in the opposite direction, resulting in a change in the tooth's angulation. In contrast, torquing involves a rotational movement around the long axis of the tooth, which can alter the position of the crown and root in the same direction, affecting the tooth's axial inclination. These movements are essential for achieving proper alignment and occlusion in orthodontic treatment.

What is wagon wheel effect in orthodontics?

The wagon wheel effect in orthodontics refers to an optical illusion that occurs when the rotation of a dental appliance, such as a braces bracket or a wire, creates the perception of movement in the opposite direction. This phenomenon can happen during the use of certain orthodontic devices, where the sequential movement of teeth can give the impression that they are rotating incorrectly. It highlights the importance of careful observation and assessment in orthodontic treatment to ensure that tooth movement aligns with the intended outcome.
