[Control of vertical dimension in Root's technique. Part 1. Class I and Class III].
Does a technique using pre-adjusted brackets offer orthodontists advantages or stumbling blocks in their efforts to improve control of vertical dimension over the course of full-banded treatment? If pre-adjusted brackets are always helpful in hyper-divergent cases, how can orthodontists utilize them to the fullest extent? The author attempts to respond to these questions in a two-part article. The first section deals with the specific cephalometric and mechanical characteristics of hyper-divergent skeletal Class I and Class III cases by analyzing two clinical examples: the objective being to control the hyper-divergence. The second part is devoted to skeletal Class II malocclusions in which the hyper-divergence must be reduced in order to stimulate optimal anterior rotation of the mandible.
