Understanding occlusion and straight-wire appliance

Using a certain bracket prescription will not do miracles. It won’t turn difficult cases into easy ones or secure your financial well-being. But using the right prescription and understanding how to optimize it, will allow you to achieve a higher level of finishing in most of your cases.

The question that you should ask yourself is why you use a certain bracket prescription and whether you know the values of tip and torque prescribed. Roth and MBT prescription have been widely used and are the giants on which shoulders we sit. However, progression is not only possible but desirable and there are significant improvements still possible in regard to the straight wire prescription.

This course will show you how it is possible today to simplify achieving excellent finishing results by knowing brackets prescription and by adopting small variations in its clinical use.
