Coordinator and Professor of Specialization Courses in Orthodontics at Faculdade São Leopoldo Mandic in Belo Horizonte-MG, Post-Odonto Suprema in Juiz de Fora-MG and Instituto Mineiro de Odontologia – ABO in Muriaé-MG For those who are not familiar with the Jorge Rodrigues prescription , its basic proposal is to treat all types of malocclusion without the need to have a large stock of brackets or incorporate bends in the wire. To do this, we use pre-adjusted brackets on all teeth, combining 0.018 slots on the front teeth (incisors and canines) and 0.022 slot on the back teeth (premolars and molars). We modify torques and angles in different brackets, with the aim of facilitating anterior torque control and all orthodontic biomechanics. And the best part is that this whole concept can be applied to both conventional brackets and self-ligating brackets! Dual Slot System When closing spaces with .022 slot brackets, .019x.025 wire is normally used, which, as it allows a gap between wire and slot close to 9º, is not capable of generating sufficient torque in most cases, causing remaining spaces or a lingual inclination of the upper incisors, with aesthetic and functional impairment.
To resolve this, the Orthodontist must perform compensation bends on the arch or close the space using loops, which takes time, something so valuable in such a competitive market. By using a .018” slot in the anterior teeth, we were able to fill the bracket slot with greater practicality, with more resilient wires, controlling the torque without generating friction in the posterior teeth, which have a .022” slot, which allows sliding mechanics in cases space closure. The idea of combining two different slot sizes dates back to the 1970s with the work of Schudy and was further Henan Mobile Number List disseminated in the following decades by Gianelly with the Two-Dimensional Technique. Years of experience with this technique in his private clinic and the ease of learning for students in Orthodontics courses allowed Prof. Jorge Rodrigues inserts new concepts and adapts them to current aesthetic needs and desires. See below some characteristics of the technique: .018” slots for anterior teeth and .022” for posterior teeth allow torque control in the anterior region and freedom of sliding in the posterior region, allowing the wire to run freely during space closure and even during the arch alignment phases.
Negative torque on the lower incisor prevents excessive proclination during the leveling and alignment phase (resistant torque); The same bracket glued inverted generates a positive torque that resists the tendency of the incisors to verticalize, generating anterior anchorage in cases of mesialization of posterior teeth (resistant torque);3. Upper canines with positive torque displace the root from the cortical to the medullary (Figure 1) , facilitating the retraction movement, and improve aesthetics, making the smile wider.4. The variation in the gap between the wires, from .016”x.016” to .018”x.025” with the upper central incisor bracket slot with +22° exchange, generates effective torques similar to the values of different prescriptions used .5. Hypertorque in the upper incisors and negative torque in the lower incisors counteract the negative effects of using Class II elastics (torque resistant). How about purchasing products with Jorge Rodrigues Prescription? In conclusion, the philosophy of working with Dual Slot brackets brings seemingly subtle changes, but which make the Orthodontist's life easier, eliminating the need for compensation bends, facilitating torque control and thus allowing a better, easier and much more predictable finish. Although each Orthodontist has their own way of working, which has been shaped over years of learning and clinical experience, the incorporation of new concepts and technologies are at our disposal to improve our lives.
