1. PROBLEM SHOOTING
IN STAGE II & ITS
MANAGEMENT
INDIAN DENTAL ACADEMY
Leader in continuing dental education
www.indiandentalacademy.com
www.indiandentalacademy.com
2. Problems Encountered During Begg Trt.
Problems can occur in any stage or can either
be
Poor tissue response
Lack of patient cooperation
Poor mechanics
Identification of problem is imp. for
producing successful results.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
3. 1.Ant. bite closing
Lack of bite opening bends
Remove AW, place proper bite-opening bends
Bitten out bite opening bends, arch wire
distorted
Pt. edu. for proper diet
Remove, correct & replace archwire
Anchor molar out of occlusion
Discontinue Class II or Class III elastics
Horizontal elastics from molar to intermaxilary
hook to move the molars towards one another.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Vertical elastics from U-m to L-m
4. Patient not wearing I.M elastics properly
Educate patient
2. Ant. teeth assuming class III relationship
Excessive wearing of class II elastics
Discontinue Class II elastics till teeth are in edge
to edge relation
place class III elastics.
Discontinue class III elastics when ant. teeth are
edge to edge
www.indiandentalacademy.com
5. 3. Spaces dev. between ant. teeth.
Failure to give cuspid tie
Intermax. circles formed too far apart
Roll one or both circles mesially, tie with steel lig.
if space is too large, close space with hor. elastic
from 3-3
4. Anchor molars rotating distobuccally
Toe-out on arch wire
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Remove arch wire & place toe in bend
6. Too much force from horizontal elastics
Use lighter hor. Elastics
Tie elastic thread from canine lingual button to
lingual hook on molar.
Elastics pulling on distal of molar tube
Place the hook properly
Edu. pt. to place elastic on hook rather than
around tube.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
7. 5. Canine roots bulging on labial plate of
alv. bone
Normal distal tipping of canine crown
causes mesial movement of apices,since
canine is located at the curve of arch which
causes bulging of plate.This will disappear
during stage III as apices moves distally.
Do nothing
www.indiandentalacademy.com
8. Poor arch form
Poor bracket placement
if bracket is to far gingival tooth will supra
erupt. Inclined plane relationship with opposing
teeth rotate mand. cuspid crowns lingually
roots labially
www.indiandentalacademy.com
9. 6. Posterior space not closing
Poor elastic co- operation.
Educate the patient
Make sure that pt. can hook the elastics
AW not free to slide distally through tube
Remove source of resistance
End of wire striking 2nd molar
Anchor bend in molar tube
Arch wire short & caught on burr inside tube
www.indiandentalacademy.com
10. A W pinned or caught in PM bracket slot
Unpin archwire, remove from slot
Place bypass clamp
Pt. placing tongue or pencil in space
Educate patient
Occlusal interference
↑ Anchor bend to open bite
Check bracket level
www.indiandentalacademy.com
11. Ant. teeth not free to tip distally
Use proper brackets
Make sure AW is not pinned too tightly
Make sure AW is seated in bracket slot, not
caught on flange of bracket
If tongue habit, place spurs on lingual
surface of teeth, refer to speech and
swallowing therapy spec.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
12. 7. Mesial tipping of 2nd PM
Slight, expected mesial movement of
anchor molar
proceed with stage II, conti. to guard anchorage
Abnormal loss of anchorage
Remove AW, ↑ Anchor bend.
↓ elastic force
Check for loose molar band or tubes
www.indiandentalacademy.com
13. 8. Mand. ant. teeth achieving desired
lingual inclination before space closure
Careful preservation of anchorage
Apply braking mechanics
Apply 6- 10 oz. horizontal elastics with braking
mechanics
Excess space present at beginning of trt.
(Conginitally small or missing teeth or space
from trauma or caries)
Clinical experience & education of patient
www.indiandentalacademy.com
14. 9. Relapse of crowding
Intermax. circles not abutting to canines
Pins dislodged from brackets
10. Too much retraction of U –incisors resulting
in gummy smile
Uncontrolled tipping of incisors
Use MAA
Not attaining proper intrusion of U - incisors
Use of Power arms or TPA for wearing class I
elastics
www.indiandentalacademy.com
16. Lock pin binding the arch wire in bracket
(prevent free tipping of teeth)
Use proper lock pins
If possible, pin tails should be bend before head
strike the arch wire
www.indiandentalacademy.com
17. Cuspid forced out into buccal plate
(Improper arch wire form, Causes drag teeth
can not tip freely)
Place the distal ends of arch wire in molar
tubes, see if wire lies so far labially in canine
region
www.indiandentalacademy.com
18. Too strong elastic force
Use proper intermaxillary elastic force
2-2½ ounce
Wearing more than one elastic
Pt. must be properly educated in
Function of elastics & danger of wearing more
elastics
www.indiandentalacademy.com
19. Arch wire accidentally engaged in the
slot of second premolar
(Increases friction)
Use of bypass clamp
Remove the premolar band for first 6 weeks
www.indiandentalacademy.com
20. Arch wire binding in buccal tube
(If arch wire too short to protrude through the
distal end of molar tube,
When cut to proper length, cause internal burring
(not removed by ordinary polishing)
Make always slightly longer than necessary
Do not cut the end of wire until all modifications
and bends
www.indiandentalacademy.com
21. End of arch wires striking the second
molar
(Retards and sometimes stops the distal sliding
of arch wire (usually in upper molar)
Extend the arch wire farther distally
buccal to 2nd molar
If impossible, cut it short enough to
allow it to slide freely until next visit
www.indiandentalacademy.com
22. End of arch wire penetrating gingival tissue
(Usually distal end of lower arch
Gingival tissue (bone) prevent free sliding)
instruct pt. to visit orthodontist if they feel
discomfort or can not engage elastics
www.indiandentalacademy.com
23. Anchorage bends engaging buccal tube
(Once entered in molar tube free sliding is prevented
due to three point contact)
Check the situation every visit
If necessary remove the arch wire, st. it and, make
new AB mesially
www.indiandentalacademy.com
24. Ligating premolar too tightly to arch wire
Arch wire can not slide distally
Ligate the arch wire lightly so that arch is free to
slide
www.indiandentalacademy.com
25. Improper toe in
Results in loss of control of anchor teeth & failure to
reduce ant. deep bite.
• Proper amount of toe in or toe out by placing the
AW in molar tubes & in ant. brackets
The wire should pass st. forward & occlusally as it
leaves the mesial end of the tube from the action of
anchor bend.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
26. Starting stage II too soon
If ant. teeth are not in genuine end to
end contact, not free to tip under the
forces of horizontal elastics
www.indiandentalacademy.com
27. Arch wire rolling in buccal tube
Avoid too much anchorage bend
and/or too much toe in bend
www.indiandentalacademy.com
28. Improper ligature tie at canine
do not pass ligature ties on canines over the
incisal of brackets prevents free tipping
It should pass directly distally across the labial
surface of canine
www.indiandentalacademy.com
29. Conclusion
A thorough knowledge of basic principles
involved in Begg mechanotherapy is
essential to avoid any form of problems
during treatment.
An awareness of all possible problems help
us in every stage of treatment, leading to
excellent treatment results.
