Abstract

This study was undertaken to determine the adequate bracket position in Korean. The subjects were consisted of casts and photographs of 30 males & 30 famales. They had acceptable profile, normal occlusion, no loss of teeth and no experience of dental treatment. The following conclusions were obtained. 1. In case of no necessity of the posterior teeth movement, bracket angulation was made automatically by paralleling the bracket slot with occlusal plane. 2. Axial inclination of all teeth were measured, and those of canine & premolar were much variable. 3. Adequate bracket position of Korean occlusion were obtained.
