Orthodontic Tooth Movement- Biomechanics- Duration

[@magdamunoz8850]

Thanks a lot, great explanation. What are other ways of creating moments other than squeezing the wire into the bracket?

[@mentaldental]

Thanks, Magda, I'm glad you found it helpful! A moment is created whenever a force is applied at any point other than the center of resistance, so basically all the time during orthodontic treatment! For instance, a moment would be created when engaging a wire into a bracket slot but also when springs are pushing against the crowns of teeth like with a removable appliance. Check out my video on types of movement for a more in depth look at moments and couples!

Headgear produces intermittent or interrupted force? I m confused some books say intermittent while some have syated as interrupted

[@flammableable]

Thank you so much fr the clear lecture! I followed your lectures from Magnitude. I would like to und what the examples of light forces and heavy forces? I'm trying to understand the application of the magnitude of forces to the duration

[@mentaldental]

Light forces are hard to attain clinically but could be exerted by a light superelastic wire being tied to the bracket. Heavy forces could be 500+ grams if you are stretching heavy elastics to a reverse pull headgear appliance for instance.

Is this made with the NBDE Part II in mind and if so are there practice questions?

[@mentaldental]

Hello! No, this set of videos is not designed for NBDE Part II, but I will be making orthodontics videos for Part 2 shortly.
