TYPES OF TORQUE PASSIVE TORQUE Torque that incorporated into the rectangular arch wire to accomodate for position of the tubes and or brackets on the buccal and labial surface of the teeth. ACTIVE TORQUE Torque that placed into the rectangular arch wire either to correct the axial inclination of the teeth or as a anchorage preparation 10
TYPES OF ACTIVE TORQUE ACTIVE LABIAL TORQUE Torque in anterior segment Crown to move labially and root palatally Intrusion and retraction of anteriors PROGRESSIVE TORQUE Torque in buccal segment Correction of buccal crossbite ACTIVE ROOT THRUST Buccal segment of arch wire Thrust the root against the buccal cortex Form of anchorage re-enforcement 11
FACTORS AFFECTING TORQUE 12 Anterior tooth morphology and its effect on torque M. van Loenen, J. Degrieck, G. De Pauw and L. Dermaut. European Journal of Orthodontics 27 (2005) 258–262
TORQUE IN FACE VS BASE 13 The Torque In the base allows the slot of the fully programmed bracket target correctly on the crown’s mid transverse plane Torque in the face causes occluso gingival variation in the placement of slot point over mid transverse plane Lawrence F. Andrews. Straight-Wire The Concept and Appliance. L.A. Wells Co., 1989.

Upper molar torque 31 The upper molars frequently show excessive buccal crown torque with palatal cusps “hanging down” which creates centric, balancing side and working side interferences For this reason it is preferable to use -14° of buccal root torque in these teeth, as opposed to only -9° of buccal root torque in SWA. McLaughlin, Bennett, Trevisi . Systemized Orthodontic Treatment Mechanics. Mosby, 2001
INTERCHANGEABLE UPPER PREMOLAR BRACKETS 33 Similarly, the torque value allows premolar brackets to be interchangeable, which helps inventory control, too. McLaughlin, Bennett, Trevisi . Systemized Orthodontic Treatment Mechanics. Mosby, 2001
