Abstract
Orthodontic tooth movement occurs in six degrees of freedom, which includes opening and closing spaces. Traditionally, opening and closing spaces are achieved with auxiliaries such as power chains or springs because all traditional bracket systems cannot achieve this tooth movement by themselves. The InBrace system has the capability to program tooth movement in all six degrees of freedom, including opening and closing spaces, through digital customization and its use of Programmed Non-Sliding Mechanics.
