  • Title: Treatment with Tip-Edge brackets and differential tooth movement.
    Author: Kesling PC, Rocke RT, Kesling CK.
    Journal: Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop; 1991 May; 99(5):387-401. PubMed ID: 2028929.
    Abstract:
    Differential tooth movement has been associated with the Begg technique and ribbon arch-type brackets since 1954. Its efficiency and effectiveness have been demonstrated and documented over the past 30 years. A relatively new edgewise-type bracket has been designed to permit differential tooth movement within predetermined limits. The following case reports describe the treatment of three differing malocclusions by means of Tip-Edge brackets and straight arch wires. The first was treated with the aid of mesiodistal crown size reduction, the second with the pretreatment removal of the four first premolars, and the third without the removal of any permanent teeth.
