The Orthodontic Fixed and Removable Appliances.
Dr. Saleh Ahmed Alwadie ., BDS, BSC. General dentist and Dental Orthodontic Technologist .KFSH&RCKSA
What is Orthodontics?
A special discipline of dentistry concerned with aligning the teeth and oral health .Ortho: correctOdont: tooth
Fixed Appliance. a mechanical device cemented to the teeth or attached by adhesive material, for changing the relative positions of the teeth.
Removable Appliance . An appliance that is not fixed to teeth, but can be removed by the patient.
Orthodontic Appliances Types
Braces. Braces are the mechanism we use to “get a
handle on the teeth. used to align and straighten teeth.
Fixed Appliance
appliances are used in the upper arches to maintain space.
Transpalatal Arch TPA
Nance Appliance is used to prevent upper molars from rotating or moving forward after extraction of primary teeth or during your orthodontic treatment.
Nance.

The Lingual Arch is a metal bar that is attached to the tongue-side of the lower first molar bands, and form fitted behind the teeth.
Lingual Arch
Video_2.MOV
attached to the molars by 2 bands and has two or four active helix springs that widen the arch of the mouth to make room for crowded teeth.
quadhelix maxillary expansion appliance.
Video.MOV
An orthodontic appliance that is worn to prevent adjacent teeth from moving into the space left by an unerupted or prematurely lost tooth.
Band and loop space maintainer
is appliance used to expanding the maxillary (upper) arch. A palatal Expander is our first choice for patients requiring an increase in the width of the upper dental arch.
Palatal Expander
The Fan-type Expander widens the front of the upper arch without widening the back.
Fan Type Expander
An appliance that is not fixed to teeth, but can be removed by the patient.
is made from a plastic plate with wires coming from the sides. These grip the teeth to keep the brace in place.
Removable Appliance .
Active (produce tooth movement/growth modification)
Mechanical appliances .Functional appliances (FA s.).
Passive Retainers.
Space maintainers.
Classification Of ROA
Active Components. Retentive Components. Acrylic Base Plate. Anchorage.
Components Of Removable Applaince
Screws
Function:
Expansion and distalization
Activation: 1 turn / week = 0.25mm
(1/4 turn)
Active component of Removable Appliances.
Wire springs Finger spring Z-spring Canine retractor Short labial arch
Active component of Removable Appliances.
0.5 mm diameter SS Function: proclination of 1 or 2 incisor
Z-Spring
0.5 mm diameter SS= incisors 0.6 mm diameter SS=premolars Function: proclination of incisors, premolars
T-Spring
0.5 mm diameter SS= incisors 0.6 mm diameter SS= canine and premolars Function: mesial or distal movement
Finger /palatal spring
0.7 mm diameter SS Function: retraction of anterior teeth
Labial Bow
0.7 mm diameter SS Function: Retraction of anterior teeth and close midline diastema
Split Labial Bow
Buccal canine retractor
0.7 mm diameter SS Function: Palatal and distal movement of mesially angulated canines
Types of Clasps
1. Adams Clasps
2. Southend Clasps
3. Labial bow
4. Ball-ended Clasps
Retentive components
Adams clasps.
0.7 mm diameter SS on molars 0.6 mm SS on premolars, canine and
deciduous molar.
Retentive component of Removable Appliances
Southend clasps
0.7 mm diameter SS Function: Useful when distal movement of canines
required.
Retentive component of Removable Appliances
•Undercut interproximally
•good retention
•0.7 mm diameter SS
Ball- ended Clasps
Labial bow •0.7 mm diameter SS •Function: •Retention •important when mesial / distal •movement is planned
Retentive component of Removable Appliances
1. Hold components
2. Clear acrylic :
- heat cure - cold cure
3. Comfortable
4. Good fit
5. Can be active - biteplanes
Baseplate
Twin block appliance
•The upper and lower parts fit together using posterior bite blocks with interlocking biteplanes which posture the mandible forward
TYPES OF FUNCTIONAL APPLIANCE
is removable and stimulates growth of the lower jaw forward to both correct the overbite (deep bite) and over jet (upper teeth sticking out).
Bionator
•Is a functional regulator and uses shield. •Complex, uncomfortable, rapid changes if
worn properly.
