Presentation Summary

allowing six months, and see patients more frequently during this process. Keep the smile line
in mind, along with the relationships between
molars, alignment, overbite/overjet, inclinations,
angulations, and cusp-to-fossa. For alignment,
look down the long axis of the crown; if the
bracket is off-center, reposition it. Picking up the
second molars through bonding later in treatment is often indicated. Utilize the appropriate
bracket width for archwire expression, and
remember that correction of rotations requires
coupling. For marginal ridges, start with the
first molars and bond premolars to the height
discrepancy of molars. Step bends can be accomplished without removal of an archwire with the
use of step pliers. Dr. Kau says that there are two
rules about bends in an archwire: firstly, it's like a
bond- once you make it, it's hard to break it; and
secondly, a bend is like a marriage- one at a

time. If needed, reposition brackets according to
gingival margins, and bear in mind that incisor
torque changes with relative vertical height
placement of the brackets. Dr. Kau uses vertical
elastics early on in treatment, including short
anterior verticals and long and short Class IIs.
The keys to a good occlusion are the first molars,
which must seat. Rotate the upper first molars
and overcorrect mesiodistally, as you often need
more anchorage than you think.
Remember that you, as the orthodontist, have
full control over the treatment of your patients.
Look at and understand the science involved and
your commitment to quality care with respect to
companies marketing devices to accelerate tooth
movement. Finally, work hard to finish your cases.
