Prescription for Success
Brackets are what stand between you and your patients.
That critical interface impacts user ergonomics, clinical
performance, and treatment efficiency every hour of every
day. The clinical performance of an appliance system,
or how well it positions teeth, is a function of several
variables, including:
• Bracket design
• Bracket/slot siting
• Slot size/archwire dimension interplay
• Ligation method
• Prescription values
Prescription values are an integral component of the
Straight-Wire Appliance concept. Not all manufacturers
produce brackets with the same fundamental design
features, ligation mechanisms, and/or prescription
values. Prescription values in particular have an obvious
and quantifiable effect on the final positions of teeth.
Unpredictable, incomplete, or incorrect expression of
bracket prescription will negatively influence the quality
and consistency of clinical outcomes, as well as total
treatment efficiency.
In this course, participants will learn:
• How to maximize clinical performance of brackets
through design, siting, and prescription values
• How bracket prescription values can be fully
expressed without completely filling the slot
• How to compare different commercially available
prescriptions
• How ligation and de-ligation methods affect
performance and ergonomics
• Why achieving optimal occlusion and optimal smile
esthetics, while keeping roots over basal bone, are
not mutually exclusive treatment goals
• How archwire form influences bracket performance
