Join me for part 2 of Adith’s lecture looking at the vertical dimension in orthodontics and its management.
Part 2 looks at 6 cases with vertical management of impacted canines, the use of TADs including buccal shelf and infrazygomatic TADs.
4th case impacted canine
- Avoid continuous archwire as it can cause:
- Iatrogenic root resorption
- If stubborn canine = greater occlusal side effects
- Resolution: TAD opposing arch
- Traction hook bonded to canine
- 150g elastic from lower TAD to traction hook on upper canine
- Providing intermittent forces
5th case scissor bite
- Buccal shelf TAD – placed vertically buccal to lower 6-7
- Anterior bite blocks to disocclude
- Mechanics:
- Buccal movement of molar with powerchain from BS TAD – molar
- Intrusion of molar with vertical vector to TAD
6th case cant
- TAD x 2, between U2-3 and U5-6 – placed high
- 19*25 NITI continuous
- Powerchain from TADs to brackets for intrusive force
7th case gummy smile
- Posterior TADs in conventional mucogingival junction with vertical vector not likely to achieve clinical improvement.
- Require TAD anterior region, and infrazygomatic TAD for retraction and intrusion
8th case class 3 with AOB
- Buccal shelf TADs
- Powerchain BS to hooks distal to lateral incisors on archwire:
- Distalise lower molars
- Intrude lower molars
- Extrude lower anterior teeth – change to occlusal plane
- Extraction of 3rd molars
- TADs left in situ in retention in case of relapse.
- Powerchain BS to hooks distal to lateral incisors on archwire:
9th case periodontally compromised patient
- 014NT, not all teeth ligated, alternate teeth ligated = increase inter-bracket distance = less force

i like this fabulous post
I really liked your article. Really thank you! Fantastic. Abbie Giffy Garland
I would like to thank you for the efforts you’ve put in writing this blog. I’m hoping the same high-grade website post from you in the upcoming also. Actually your creative writing skills has encouraged me to get my own site now. Really the blogging is spreading its wings rapidly. Your write up is a good example of it. Olen Jock
Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone! Eloy Shepley
Awesome blog article.Much thanks again. Keep writing. Beatrice Willis
I am thinking of visiting your website again Thanks
