  • The author treated 3 class I malocclusion patients with the lingual appliance followed by the extraction of the 4 bicuspids. One of them was finished with the labial appliance at the final stage. The treatment results were acceptable and the patients had good tolerance to the lingual appliance without complaints in these cases. There were some problems in treatment on the lingual side both the patient and the practioner, but I think we can overcome them with the development of the orthodontic materials, the treatment technics & the increased clinical experience. Of course, we cannot treat all the patients with the lingual braces, but patients are carefully selected, lingual braces will be a valuable orthodontic appliance. In conclusion, the lingual braces have very good esthetic advantages, so the patients, especially in adults, who hesitate or refuse the orthodontic treatment due to the esthetic problem of the labial braces will get the motivation & the chance for the orthodontic treatment.

  • A device called incisor inclination indicator to control the axial inclinations of the incisors in the diagnostic setup is introduced. It is used to control the retraction of the maxillary and mandibular incisors. In this article, we describe the use of the incisor inclination indicator to prescribe adequate torque into the anterior lingual brackets and evaluate the results of treatment in a bimaxillary dentoalveolar protrusion case that underwent orthodontic treatment with the pretorqued anterior lingual brackets. Retraction of the maxillary and mandibular incisors was achieved with careful control of the axial inclination. It is indicated that the use of the incisor inclination indicator is an effective adjunctive laboratory procedure for anterior torque control during retraction in lingual orthodontic treatment.
