Overview of brackets: moments; rotation; torque control; angulation; 2D; minimal tooth movement. Ormco, Forestadent, GAC Dentsply MTM, STb,, JOY by Adenta, ORG by ORJ (3M), Evolution SLT 3D by Adenta, Incognito, eBrace. CAD/CAM option: SureSmile

tails learn about the JOY bracket system. Advantages and limitations are described in details

JOY indirect simplified technique

Analysis of cases with end result in sight; consideration of all factors.
Accurate placement of brackets: plaster model marking each tooth individually, placing each bracket on model, tray preparation, bonding.

JOY Bracket Bonding

Impression taking, transfer tray preparation, area preparation, direct bonding with cure.

JOY wire bending

arious lingual pliers, tooth movements, demonstration of 9 types of bends and their resultant effects on all teeth.

JOY case presentation

Class III occlusion, crowding, attrition and breakage of some edges, overlapping. Implants awaiting crowns.
In planning, slight proclination for a nice arch, before stripping.
Started with upper arch bonding and 12 weeks later lower arch.
JOY bracket most suitable for this -because of small size.

Lingual biomechanics

In bio-mechanics there is a difference between small and large brackets. Moments of force and mechanical challenges in Lingual
Orthodontics and solutions. Combination of brackets and wire dimensions. Variety of moments.

JOY direct bonding

Although direct bonding is not common in Lingual, this is a demonstration of an exceptional case. Separate bracket bonding. Mushroom passive bend. Wide power chain for closure of spaces.

JOY lingual Treatment Stages

Protocol (stages) of treatment - essential to follow for success of treatment:
Leveling, alignment - features for a nice arch
Torque Control
Consolidate an

JOY types of ligation

Demonstration of Elastic Modules to secure arch wire in the slots of the brackets; Elastic Chains; Figure 8 for stabilizing segments, Double Over-tie for securing the wire inside the slot, using power chain; Rotation Tie, most common in lingual orthodontics, for bigger moments.

JOY- inter proximal reduction

IPR/Stripping is the peeling of tooth enamel to gain space between teeth. Options for crowding are expansion and proclination, distalization, extraction.
6 Principles of and various instruments for IPR.

JOY Retention

Retention is the most important part of the orthodontic treatment, as it ensures long term stability of the treatment result.
Demonstration of fixed retainer in the form of a wire attached to the back of the teeth.
Removable retainers are supplied in addition to the fixed retainer, for night use.
Continuous follow up is required after treatment for the long term.
