Abstract

Abstract : Orthodontists strive for accurate bracket positioning because it makes achieving an ideal occlusion easier. They have used a variety of hand-held dental instruments to position the brackets for direct bonding. A number of instruments, including the Boone and Dougherty gauges, MBT gauges, A-KAM and various other modifications, have been used for accurate positioning of brackets in direct bonding. Although position adjustments can be made difficult with such an instrument, the bracket can easily slip when the instrument is removed. Indirect bonding may be a solution, but it is time-consuming and does not provide for precise repositioning of brackets that fall off and also does not give proper root paralleling. We have developed an auxiliary that issued for crown and root paralleling or aligning, horizontal, vertical and axial positioning of bracket (Pre-Treatment assessment) during bracket positioning. Which avoids the step of repositioning the bracket at mid or end of the treatment.
