RATIONALES (VERIFIED EXAM)
Orthodontics is the dental specialty that deals with
the growth and development of the jaws and face
An important function of the dental assistant in an orthodontic practice is to
motivate and reinforce oral hygiene home care
The following orthodontic appliance is best used to correct a patient with a -3mm overjet in
a 8 year old boy
Reverse pull headgear (facemask)
The following orthodontic appliance is best used to achieve absolute anchorage so there is
no reciprocal movement?
TADS
This type of elastic provides the least force
5/16 4.5oz
Class II elastics are places by connecting the elastics to which teeth?
Upper 3's to Lower 6's
,Class II elastics are called "class II elastics" because if compliant, it can shift a :
Class II occlusion to a class I occlusion
Class 2 and vertical
(Delta Elastics)
Kobeyashi Tie
Helps to achieve a better occlusion
These types of wires exhibit super elasticity, the ability to bend and return to its original
shape
NiTi
This type of wire will provide the lightest and most gradual force
NiTi
This type of wire will exhibit the most amount of friction
TMA
, This wire is NOT likely to be the first wire to be placed immediately after placing brackets on
a patient
Rectangular stainless steel
This type of wire is most likely used to close extraction spaces
Rectangular stainless steel
In brackets that have torque prescription, this type of wire is most likely to express the
torque prescribed
17x25 Stainless Steel
This type of wire is most formable
Stainless Steel
This type of wire is temperature sensitive where if it's chilled, it is able to bend and before
formable, but when heated it has memory and goes back to its original form
Copper NiTi
This type of wire has the most strength and stiffness
Stainless Steel
