BIOMECHANICS IN TORQUE
• Torque or root movement
• The centre of rotation of tooth
• M/F ratio
Erman D. Rauch. Torque And Its Application To Orthodontics. AJODO Volume 1959 Nov (817 - 830).
6
According to Nanda,
• M/F = 5/1 uncontrolled tipping
• M/F = 7/1 controlled tipping
• M/F = 10/1 translation
• M/F = 12/1 root torque

0.017×0.025 inch 0.019×0.025 inch
SHORTCOMING of 0.018 slot
• Torque prescription more conservative
• Limitation in choice of wires
• Not efficient in sliding mechanics
ADVANTAGE of 0.022 slot
• More stiff wire
• Choice of alignment wires
• Sliding mechanics – more effective in
space closure

TYPES OF TORQUE
PASSIVE TORQUE
Torque that incorporated into the
rectangular arch wire to accomodate for
position of the tubes and or brackets on
the buccal and labial surface of the teeth.
ACTIVE TORQUE
Torque that placed into the rectangular
arch wire either to correct the axial
inclination of the teeth or as a anchorage
preparation
10
TYPES OF ACTIVE TORQUE
ACTIVE LABIAL
TORQUE
• Torque in anterior segment
• Crown to move labially and
root palatally
• Intrusion and retraction of
anteriors
PROGRESSIVE
TORQUE
• Torque in buccal segment
• Correction of buccal
crossbite
ACTIVE ROOT
THRUST
• Buccal segment of arch wire
• Thrust the root against the
buccal cortex
• Form of anchorage re-
enforcement

TORQUE IN FACE VS BASE
13
• The Torque In the base allows the slot
of the fully programmed bracket target
correctly on the crown’s mid transverse
plane
•Torque in the face causes occluso
gingival variation in the placement of
slot point over mid transverse plane

20
• Upper premolar which needs buccal root torque
P

RECIPROCAL TORQUING AUXILIARY
21
• used in cases where two adjacent teeth
require root torque in opposite
directions.
• The 'Spec' auxiliary could be used for
controlling the root movements during
the first and second stages if made in
lighter 0.009" or 0.010" size wires

REVERSE TORQUING AUXILIARY
22
• for controlling the roots of canines or pre-
molars design in the 1987
• for the labial root movement of a palatally
impacted maxillary canine

UPPER MOLAR TORQUE
31
• The upper molars frequently show
excessive buccal crown torque with palatal
cusps “hanging down” which creates
centric, balancing side and working side
interferences
• For this reason it is preferable to use -
14° of buccal root torque in these teeth,
as opposed to only -9° of buccal root
torque in SWA.

which helps inventory control, too.

37
increased maxillary
posterior torque (–14°) and reduced mandibular
posterior torque (–10°) to improve intercuspation
and posterior overjet, flatten curve of Wilson,
and reduce interferences.
FEATURES
Second premolar brackets (+3° tip) improve
posterior marginal ridge adaptation in
nonextraction treatment.
S. Jay Bowman. The Butterfly System. 2004, JCO.
38
Butterfly System’s reversible second premolar
brackets. Placing second premolar brackets on
contralateral sides (–3° tip) improves root
paralleling during extraction treatment.
Molar attachments have –6° angulation
to account for differences in first molar
marginal ridges.

  • 31. UPPER MOLAR TORQUE 31 • The upper molars frequently show excessive buccal crown torque with palatal cusps “hanging down” which creates centric, balancing side and working side interferences • For this reason it is preferable to use - 14° of buccal root torque in these teeth, as opposed to only -9° of buccal root torque in SWA. McLaughlin, Bennett, Trevisi. Systemized Orthodontic Treatment Mechanics. Mosby, 2001
  • 32. LOWER PREMOLAR AND MOLAR TORQUE 32 the lingual crown torque is reduced by 5° in the lower premolars, 10° in the lower first molars, & 25° in the lower second molars. - 10° - 20° - 17° - 12° - 6° - 35° - 30° - 22° - 17° - 11° Difference +25° +10° +5° +5° +5° McLaughlin, Bennett, Trevisi.

  • 33. INTERCHANGEABLE UPPER PREMOLAR BRACKETS 33 • Similarly, the torque value allows premolar brackets to be interchangeable, which helps inventory control, too. McLaughlin, Bennett, Trevisi. Systemized Orthodontic Treatment Mechanics. Mosby, 2001
