GET Prescription: Brackets Upper

Upper U3: .022" x .028" slot - U3: 0°T, 11°A

U1, U2: .020" x .028" slot - U1: 12°T, 5°A / U2: 8°T, 9°A
The problem with upper incisors is normally a lack of torque at the end of the treatment. This is due to
a play between the archwire and the slot. In some prescriptions, extra-torque series of brackets are avai-
lable. We prefer to decrease the size of the slot and maintain normal torque values. This has two benefits:
• Allows more predictable expression of torque values
• Reduces the need of additional inventory for the orthodontist
We chose the original straight wire 11 degrees mesial tip, to allow an increase in arch length in the upper
arch and 0 degrees torque to avoid too steep a canine guidance, which can lead to an increase in imme-
diate Bennett movement.
U4, U5: .022" x .028" slot - U4/5: -10°T, 4°A
We chose to add very little extra lingual crown torque (-10 degrees). We do not want to have upper bi-
cuspids with a marked lingual inclination (an «open» position is better from a gnathological standpoint)
but a 3 degrees extra negative torque is needed to compensate for side-effects of levelling, which tends
to flare out premolars.

U6, U7: .022" x .028" slot - U6: -20°T, 10°OF / U7: -25°T, 6°OF
We reduced the value of the distal rotation to the original straight wire value (U6) and even less(U7). This
is to avoid a lingually projection of the distal-buccal cusp of the upper second molar, which is a major
source of premature contacts.
We also chose to increase the lingual crown torque in order to reduce the tendency to premature contacts
due to hanging palatal cusps of upper molars (especially second molars).

Torque play in GET brackets based on wire and bracket slot sizes
(.020" x .028" vs. .022" x .028").

Tomy’s comment:
We would like to report the minimum and maximum theoretical play calculated from the dimensions
Lower
obtained from the actual manufacturing records (product inspection records) of brackets and wires as
follows. As for the radius of curvature of wire, it is normally about 0.05mm in our wires, but competitors’
wires may have larger radius, so we also calculated the play when it is 0.1mm as a reference. L1, L2: .020" x .028" slot - L1 / L2: -1°T, 2°A
We maintained Classical values of torque, but the .020"x;028" slot allows an optimal control. Moreover,
the low profile of EXPERIENCE mini brackets helps to solve a very common problem of self-ligating
.020" x .028"slot .022" x .028"slot brackets, which tend to give a premature contact with the palatal faces of the upper incisors, in some
