INTRODUCTION
It is a complete orthodontic treatment system designed for those goal oriented orthodontists who would like to treat efficiently to a predetermined goal and reach that goal on a routine basis. It is designed to quantify the anchorage requirements of the orthodontic problem and thus clarify the necessary treatment steps needed to reach the goal.
SPECIALITY - SYSTEM
Banded or bonded edgewise appliance.
Built-in tip, torque & offset.
Analysis and treatment planning chart with a step by step treatment procedure for seven different extraction & non-extraction choices.
Timing chart aids in estimating the time needed for each step, and a self check chart helps determine when to proceed with the next treatment step.
EVOLUTION
Charles Tweed was first to advocate anchorage.
He used standard edgewise appliance, the tip, torque & offset bends had to be placed in each edgewise arch.
Disadvantage.
EVOLUTION
Reed Holdaway- preangulation of the edgewise appliance in the mandibular buccal segments.
Larry Andrews – first to introduced the completely preadjusted appliance (straight wire appliance)
Level anchorage system – combination of straight wire appliance with anchorage preparation as described by Holdaway.
Preadjustments of the Level anchorage appliance
Two choices of distal crown tip for the mandibular buccal teeth: regular & major.�The choice depends on the severity of the malocclusion and is determined by use of the analysis chart.� REGULAR MAJOR
Measuring the severity of the malocclusion
1.Depth of the curve of spee.
2.Lower arch discrepancy.
3.Space to upright the lower anteriors.
4.Lower buccal anchorage to retract the canines
5.Anchorage to correct the ANB
6.Anchorage in relation to the mandibular plane angle.
7.Anchorage to retract the upper anteriors in extraction cases.
ANCHORAGE
Tooth Anchorage- Axial inclination
Anchorage savers –
Headgear.
Palatal bar.
Delaying extraction of the maxillary premolars.
Lip bumpers & Functional appliances.
The analysis chart
Limits of the dentition – boundary within which the correction of the malocclusion must take place.
Stability – lower incisor in angulation and a linear measurement in millimeters to N-B line. Upper incisor it is related in angulation and a millimeter measurement to N-A & interincisal angle.
The analysis chart
3. Anchorage –preparation.
4. Function – canine protected occlusion.
5. Tissue response- force & tooth movement.
6. Vertical control
7. Tongue posture

Advantages
Precise treatment plan- analysis chart
Arch wire bending been reduced .
Efficiency is improved- treatment steps & self-checks for each step.

To preserve what is normal
To prevent the undesired movement
To get the desired movement
To keep it as intra oral as possible
THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE
Innumerable attempts and
innovations
Success very subjective
Dogmatic following
The latest in the inventory
Versatility in providing anchorage
Helping in bringing about tooth movements
which have been of a great challenge to the
orthodontist like intrusion of upper and
lower molars
Being as intraoral as possible
Less invasive though it is a surgical
procedure
