Medical - Medical: Dentistry / ortodontia | | English term or phrase: bending stiffness | The greater the bending stiffness of the guiding arch wire, the more upright it will keep the tooth during the displacement. Increasing the wire stiffness has the effect of decreasing the magnitude of tip together with the time period between Figure 1 (or 2) and Figure 4, but the overriding factor is different origins of the crown force (Fa) and couple (Cw).
The magnitude of C w is, principally, directly related to the local bending of the guiding arch wire at the canine bracket site.
This bending is a localized rotation of the wire in the faciolingual plane; this rotation is the difference between the amount of tipping and the initial occlusogingival/rotational clearance, if any. With a preangulated bracket slot, the initial clearance is likely zero with some local secondorder rotation required to engage the wire in the slot. I f this is the case, C w exists from the start of the retraction process. |
