Various bidimensional techniques used in orthodontics: A systematic review
Abstract
Maintaining torque with sliding mechanics in maxillary anterior teeth especially in presence of large\xa0extraction spaces has become a major concern among orthodontist. Loss of torque occurs owing to play\xa0between bracket system and arch wires. Thus, for torque control various arch wire twisting and torquing\xa0axillaries have been introduced. Not only do these techniques cause certain discomfort to patients but also\xa0extends patient chair time because of various chair side wire bending involved. Thus, a bidimensional\xa0technique in bracket system will be beneficial in controlling incisor torque simultaneously it will also assist\xa0in loss of anchorage in posterior teeth as it facilitates free sliding of arch wire through the bracket slot thus\xa0reducing friction. The aim of this article is to equip an overview of bidimensional technique in orthodontics.\n\nKeywords:\xa0Bimetric system.
