Andrews Appliance

The New Generation Straight-Wire Appliance

Orthodontic science realized

The Andrews2 Appliance has tooth guidance built into the brackets rather than into archwires. It is based on recognition of the extensive similarities in tooth morphology between individuals with normal teeth, and in the tooth positions of individuals with naturally optimal dentitions. The Andrews2 Appliance exploits these similarities by utilizing special design features that minimize wire bending while enhancing ease-of-use. Building upon the original Straight-Wire Appliance, the Andrews Foundation has developed an improved appliance system which is a result of 20 years of research and development. Ortho Organizers is the proud, exclusive manufacturer and distributor of the Andrews2 Appliance. The Company has worked closely with Drs. Larry and Will Andrews to develop the Andrews products to the exact, high-quality specifications every patient deserves.

Frontal Perspective: The vertical midline scribe of the bracket is to be superimposed over the facial axis of the crown. The tie-wings sides are to be parallel to the facial axis of the clinical crown. The bracket is to be centered occlusogingivally on the facial axis of the clinical crown. Lateral Perspective: The mid-transverse planes of the crown and slot will be symbiotic when the base point of the bracket is sited on the crowns FA point.

Scientific data Quality construction

The Andrews2 Appliance is manufactured at Ortho Organizers headquarters in Carlsbad, CA ensuring exact precision. Experts conduct quality assurance inspections, and the latest technologies are used throughout the manufacturing process. The appliance is made through the Metal Injection Molding (MIM) process, which is an advanced technology used for the manufacturing of complex metal products. MIM translates into rounded contours, and other complex structures that machined and cast brackets may not be able to duplicate.

Access Bevels for steel ligature cutters Generous Tie-Wing Undercuts for ease of ligation and space for multiple auxiliaries Contoured Slot Edges Mesial-Distal Stem 90 to Slot to align auxiliary rotation devices with archwire Compound-Contoured Base and Pad Horizontal and vertical base contours match the curvature characteristics of each tooth type for an optimal fit

Rounded Post for patient comfort (optional) 80-Gauge Micro-Etched Bondable Mesh Pad offers proven bond adhesion Color ID Dot for ease of bracket identification

Wider Pad on Lower 5s offers greater bond strength and a weld option

Instrument Groove for precise molar placement Smooth Hook for patient comfort

Pad width allows the molar to be bonded or welded Convertible Cap for ease of 2nd molar access

andrews 2 brackets offer unique convenience features

The instrument channel is wider at the center of the bracket to allow a carver instrument to finely adjust and control bracket positioning.

The de-ligation saddles allow for easy removal of elastic ligatures. The design is a scoop out of the bracket stem above and below the archwire slot which allows access for an explorer type instrument.

The stem of the bracket body is positioned 90 to the archwire slot which allows for a more aligned rotational force of an auxiliary wedge against the archwire.

Access bevels on each of the four tie-wings allow ease of removal of metal ligatures from any angle.

andrews 2 archwires
Optimal arches are essential for optimal occlusion. Andrews Archwires have the features needed to treat arches to optimal standards efficiently.
.014, .016 Nitanium Super Elastic Wires have flexibility for initial aligning and rotations .014, .016 stainless steel wires have a balance of flexibility and rigidity for initial aligning and leveling .016, .018 stainless steel wires have a balance of flexibility and rigidity for leveling, correcting arch shape, and for mesiodistal translation .018 x .025 Ortholoy-Blue (heat treatable) stainless steel wires are for inclining and fine tuning Flexibility: Arches can be effectively and efficiently treated to optimal standards by using the most appropriate Andrews Appliance prescription in combination with the most suitable Andrews Archwires in terms of flexibility. Shape: The Andrews Archwires are preformed to match the average shape of the 120 non-orthodontic normal study casts used in the Six Keys to Normal (Optimal) Occlusion study. Like any preformed archwire, its shape must be customized to each patients unique anatomy. Length: The overall length can usually be customized with one cut. Pre-Posted Archwire Option: For each arch, the small, medium, and large distances between the posts means one of the 3 will fit 90% of the normal patient population.*

The Andrews2 fully programmed Appliance system

Scientific Effective Efficient
The Andrews2 Appliance is comprised of both standard and translation brackets. Teeth that do not require translation are assigned standard brackets. Teeth that need to be translated mesially or distally are assigned translation brackets minimum (T1), medium (T2), or maximum (T3) depending on the distance the teeth need to be translated. Andrews2 Brackets can be prescribed individually or by prearranged set. There are 11 sets for the maxillary arch and 10 for the mandibular arch. Arch correction efficiency is maximized when the most appropriate brackets are prescribed, properly sited, and the most suitable archwires and forces are applied. When used as such it becomes a fully-programmed appliance. Properly prescribed and sited Andrews2 Brackets will assist you in getting where you want to go as fast as is biologically possible, with the least amount of effort.

translation brackets
When teeth require mesial or distal bodily movement, translation brackets have significant advantages over standard brackets. Translation brackets include all of the qualities and features of standard brackets, plus a power arm and built-in counter-angulation and counter-rotation. Collectively, the width of the brackets, length of the power arms, and the counter-angulation direct forces close to or at the tooths center-of-resistance. This allows for effective bodily movement and the right amount of over correction (angulation and rotation) when using flexible archwires and sliding mechanics.

Andrews 2 Translation brackets help to deliver forces to the tooths center-of-resistance.

Straight-Wire Appliance System

The Andrews2 Straight-Wire Appliance System is composed of prearranged sets of brackets correlated with commonly diagnosed arch discrepancies. There are 11 maxillary and 10 mandibular sets. The bracket sets are combinations of 5 different types of brackets:
S Standard Bracket T1 Minimum Translation Bracket T2 Medium Translation Bracket T3 Maximum Translation Bracket T4 Maxillary Molar 7 mm Overjet Bracket
