1
Q

what are advantages of a fixed appliance

A

can carry out 3d movement of the tooth
can correct rotations
can utilise bodily movement and torque
compliance is not an issue as it cannot be removed by the patient
less intrusive on tongue space
minimal palatal coverage
can move multiple teeth

Q

what is the function of the archwire

A

the wire contains the prescription, it has shape memory. when put through the brackets, the shape is distorted, so carries out a force on the teeth whilst trying to obtain its original shape

Q

what is the function of the bracket

A

the interface between the tooth and the archwire, transmits force from wire to tooth. bonded to tooth with etch, bond and composite

Q

what are the advantages of URA

A

tipping of teeth, good for correction of overbite, removable so good for OH, cheaper than fixed, shorter chairside time, less specialist training, good anchorage

16
Q

what are the benefits of baseplate and what modifications can be done

A

anchorage, connector and retention
can also be modified - FABP to reduce OB - OJ +3MM
Posterior bite plane - to increase space for correcting crossbites

17
Q

name 5 active components, their measurements and uses

A

palatal finger spring with guard - 0.5mm HSSW - retract teeth in line with arch (3s mainly)
z-spring - 0.5mm HSSW, correct crossbite, some rotational movement
buccal canine retractor - 0.5mm HSSW with 0.5mm ID tubing - retract buccally placed canines
roberts retractor - 0.5mm HSSW with 0.5mm ID tubing - reduce overjet
midline palatal screw - expand upper arch

18
Q

name 3 retention components and their measurements

A

adams clasp - 0.7mm if adult tooth, 0.6mm for deciduous HSSW
southend clasp - 0.7mm HSSW
labial bow - 0.7mm HSSW
mesial stop - 0.7mm flattened HSSW

19
Q

how should a URA be delivered

A

check right appliance for right patient
right design that you asked for
inspect appliance for sharp edges or areas for potential trauma
inspect wire work for work hardening
insert appliance and check for areas of blanching or trauma
check posterior retention - flyover and arrowhead
check anterior retention
activate appliance
demonstrate to patient how to insert and remove appliance - get the patient to demonstrate this back to you
book review appt 4-6 weeks

20
Q

what advice should be given to patients when delivering URA

A

should be worn 24/7 including eating and sleeping
should be removed after eating and cleaned with soft brush
should be removed during contact sports and stored in hard container
will feel big and bulky but will adjust to it
will have some discomfort but this means it working
should avoid hard sticky foods that could damage the appliance and be careful with hot liquids
speech will be altered - practice reading aloud
excess salivation will happen, will reduce after 24 hours
poor compliance will increase tx time
provide emergency contact number incase of any incidents

21
Q

what are some signs of good wear of URA

A

patient comes in wearing it
ask the patient
patient can handle the appliance - insertion and removal
patient can speak with it in
no excess salivation
the tooth has moved
the active component is no longer active
there is wear on the appliance

22
Q

what would be the ARAB for retracting canines in line with arch and reduce OB

A

a - palatal finger spring with guard 0.5mm HSSW
r - adams clasp 0.7mm, southend clasp 0.7mm
a - fine
b - self cure PMMA, FABP OJ + 3mm

23
Q

what would be the arab for retracting buccally placed canines and reduce

A

a - buccal canine retractor 0.5mm HSSW with 0.5mm ID tubing
r - adams clasp 0.7mm, southend clasp 0.7mm
a - fine
b - self cure PMMA, FABP OJ +3mm

24
Q

what would the arab be for reducing OJ and OB

A

a - roberts retractor 0.5mm HSSW + 0.5mm ID tubing
r - adams clasp 0.7mm HSSW
a - short roots + baseplate
b - self cure PMMA FABP OJ + 3mm

25
Q

what would the arab be to correct anterior crossbite 12

A

a - z-spring 0.5mm HSSW
r - adams clasp 0.7mm 6s and 4s
a - moving one tooth
b - self cure PMMA + posterior bite plane

26
Q

what would the arab be to correct posterior crossbite

A

a - midline palatal screw
r - adams clasp 0.7mm 6s and 4s
a - reciprocal anchorage
b - self cure PMMA + posterior bite plane

27
Q

what is the use of a quadhelix

A

bilateral expansion, fan type expansion, asymmetrical expansion, cleft palate expansion, assist habit breaker, modified to procline incisors, rotation of molars
