BANDS
Fixed Component: BandsMetal attachments that are cemented to individual teeth and provide a place for attachment of other auxiliaries like buccal tubes, lingual buttons, etc.
Dr. Fadhil yassin
Types
Pinched Bands: they are formed on tooth surface, welded electrically and to them attachments are welded.
Preformed Bands: they are prefabricated.

New cements: a composite of glass ionomer and resin materials, and usually are light-cured.All interior surfaces of an orthodontic band must be coated with cement before it is placed, so that there is no bare metal.

Properties of an ideal orthodontic archwire
Dr. Fadhil yassin
Ligation of archwire• ligation of A.W.:
• steel ligature
• steel kobayshi ligature
• elastomeric ligature
• self-ligation
Dr. Fadhil yassin
Techniques of ligationFig 1. Diagram of basic ties for upper canines:
metal ligatures in straight (A) and double-over (B) ties;elastic ligatures in straight (C) and double-over (D) ties.
Dr. Fadhil yassin
Techniques of ligation
Fig 2. Ligature must be snug with bracket to prevent slackening. Diagram shows correct ligature position from labial (A) and occlusal (B) perspectives;
wrong ligature position is shown from labial (C) and occlusal (D) perspectives
Dr. Fadhil yassin
Techniques of ligation
Fig 3. Ligature wire makes a loop around the rotated tooth so that when the wire is twisted, the part of the tooth farther from the alignment is pulled toward the archwire, labial (A) and occlusal (B) perspectives.
Dr. Fadhil yassin
Techniques of ligation
Fig 9. In cases where segmented round archwires are used, a stabilization tie may be useful to prevent the wirerotating in the bracket slots. In the detail, the loop around the vertical bend is incorporated into the archwire.
Dr. Fadhil yassin
Techniques of ligation
Fig 11. Tie togethers can be used to support the archwire (A and B) or not (C and D), being crosstied in the interbracket area (A and C) or twisted (B and D). Additional ligatures must be used when the archwire is not supported by the tie together (C and D).Dr. Fadhil yassin

Steps in Banding
Dr. Fadhil yassin
Separators TypesIt create space among teeth to be banded to be banded for easy placement of orthodontic band, it needs 2-5 days .
* Metal : soft SS (0.5mm) .* Electrometric(blue for post.& green for ant.).* Spring .
Dr. Fadhil yassin
SeperationSeparating springs, typically opening enough space for banding in approximately 1 week.
Dr. Fadhil yassin
Separating Springs
Elastomeric separators ("doughnuts"), squeeze the teeth apart over a period of several days.

Dr. Fadhil yassin
Headgear Tubes45 or 51 mil round tubes are placed on maxillary first molars > to insert the inner bow of the face bow appliance.
Also can accept a heavy auxiliary labial arch wire.
Dr. Fadhil yassin
Auxiliary Edgewise tubes
Used mainly for segmented arch technique, which are necessary to intrude teeth.
Placed gingivaly in relation to the main arch wire on both maxillary and mandibular first molars.Auxiliary rectangular tubes on canines are also used during space closure of the extraction spaces.
Dr. Fadhil yassin
Lingual Arch Attachments
• There are two lingual attachments:• One is the horizontal lingual sheath which made to accept a doubled-over segment of 36 or 30 mil steel wire.
• The other is a lingual bracket made to accept 32 × 32 beta-titanium or steel wire.
• Uses:
• Stabilize lingual arch.
• Reinforce the anchorage and tooth movement.
Dr. Fadhil yassin
Lingual Attachmentsbuttons, cleats and eyelets.
Used for attachment of cross-elastics.
Used to control rotations of premolars and canines during space closure.
Dr. Fadhil yassin
Uprighting SpringsMade of 0.012’’ or 0.014’’ Australian wire.
They move the tooth root in a mesial or distal direction.Dr. Fadhil yassin
Bracket Placement
Mesiodistal Bracket positioning on flat surfaces teeth . It’s important to position brackets in the mesiodistal centers, while on cuspids and bicuspids it’s important to position the bracket at the crest of the contour on their buccal surfaces. The other authors used following scheme to determine the vertical bracket position

A. Brass wire.
A stop, hook or loop, soldered, crimped or bent into an archwire, usually at some point anterior to the molar tubes, so that the archwire can be tied to the molar attachments by means of stainless steel or elastic ligature.
B. Sliding Jig.
used for application of an intermaxillary force to an individual tooth as in retraction of anterior teeth for space closure.

• 2. Inter max. forces:Dr. Fadhil yassin
Component of CL-II elastics:
1. Anterior-posterior component: distal force to the maxillary teeth & mesial force to the mandibular teeth which result in retraction of maxillary teeth & protraction of mandibular teeth.2. Vertical component; extrusion of maxillary anterior teeth & mandibular posterior teeth which result in rotation of the occlusal plane up posteriorly & down anteriorly.
3. Transverse component (slight force); buccal tipping of the lower molars.
A. CL-II elastic
Dr. Fadhil yassinExtra oral force appliances:
Headgear + Face bow
• It can be used with maxillary fixed or removable appliance.
• Fixed appliance can be simple as banded maxillary 1st permanent molars alone.
• Include banding as bonding of remaining dentition.
Neckgear + Face bow
Directional Force ( J-hooks )
• Attach directly to the anterior part of the upper arch wire.
• Lit is used more commonly for retraction of canines or incisors.
