BRACKET PLACEMENT Labial Precise visual references for ideal bracket placement are provided by SPEED Rhomboid’s silhouette. Lingual Gingival Occlusal The mesial and distal edges of the bracket body, Spring Clip and pad are parallel to the long axis of the middle lobe of the tooth to which it has been assigned. The occlusal edges of the bracket body, Spring Clip and pad are parallel to the archwire slot. The occlusal edges of the bracket body, Spring Clip and pad can be used to assist in incisal edge and marginal ridge alignment. Distal 10 Mesial Take care to position the brackets and tubes as accurately as possible during initial bonding. If significant bracket placement errors become apparent during the course of treatment, it is better to rectify them by rebonding than to continually compensate with bends in the archwires. A meticulous bonding technique will pay worthwhile dividends later in terms of efficiency and quality of treatment. • The curved portion of the bracket which has the Spring Clip wrapped over it should be directed toward the occlusal in both arches. • Accurate positioning of SPEED brackets is aided by bearing in mind that the mesial and distal edges of the bracket body, Spring Clip and pad are parallel to the long axis of the middle lobe of the tooth to which it has been assigned. Numerous horizontal reference lines are provided by these components to enhance incisal edge and marginal ridge alignment.
