Bracketing incisors |
– techniques for achieving accuracy in all three dimensions, every time – how to modify the vertical positioning in deep bite and open bite cases |
Techniques for canines |
– managing the three available torque options to meet the needs of the case – why it can be difficult to achieve accurate canine positioning |
Accuracy with molars |
– tips for optimal vertical and rotational positioning of lower molar tubes – common errors in molar positioning, and how to avoid them |
Re-po and the progress reviews |
– the need for repositioning when indicated, to ensure effective treatment – how the progress review is used to reduce treatment time during finishing |
