Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to collect the information of the straight-wire appliance and to determine the amount of second-order bends in clinical orthodontics. The author analysed the study model of 50 individuals with normal occlusion and results were obtained as follows 1. The crown angulation was 4 degree in upper central incisor, 7 degree in upper lateral incisor, and 0 degree in lower central incisor and lateral incisor. 2. The crown angulation was 8 degree in upper cuspid and 2 degree in lower cuspid. 3. The crown angulations were 4 degree in upper first bicuspid, upper second bicuspid and lower second bicuspid and 1 degree m lower first bicuspid. 4. The crown angulation was 3 degree in upper first molar, 0 degree in upper second molar, 5 degree in lower first molar and 8 degree in lower second molar. 5. The crown angulations in lower arch were progressively increased from first premolar to second molar. 6. In upper arch, as the crown angulation of one tooth was increased, those of adjacent teeth were increased, too. 7. In the case of lower arch, the crown angulation of cuspid was increased as that of lateral incisor was increased, the crown angulation of second premolar was increased as that of first premolar was increased, and similarity the crown angulation of second molar was increased as that of first molar was increased.
