Abstract

Awell finished orthodontic case is a result of precise bracket positioning during initial bonding. Orthodontists strive for accurate positioning of brackets so that we can avoid / minimize finishing arch wire bends. During the Bonding procedure, placing the bracket on tooth surface and then adjusting it to ideal position is time-consuming, also bracket displacement will reduce the bond strength. Therefore, to avoid these drawbacks this modified bracket holder with magnifying lens gives magnified image of tooth surface with precise visibility, so that bracket placement can be accurate according to the tooth contour with respect to mesio –distal and vertical position of tooth.
