Abstract:: As during orthodontic treatment and in particular during the phase of the precise adjustment of occlusion by applying the "straight-wire technique" problems arise as far as the vertical dimensions are concerned, the usual distances between the bracket slots and the edges of the incisors respectively the top of the cusps have been verified. Measurements were done on models at the end of treatment of ten patients treated with fixed attachments who may represent ideal occlusion as far as profile radiographs and gnathology were concerned. After regulation of the plane of occlusion the vertical distances between the slot base plane (parallel to the plane of occlusion) and the edge of the incisors respectively tops of cusps were measured by means of a modified parallelometer in connection with a special slot and tube support as well as a specially developed dial test indicator, while a maximum fit between bracket base and buccal crown surface was given. In case of the upper front brackets (torque + 22 degrees) large vertical measurement to the edge of the incisors were recorded, 8.25 respectively 8.33 mm). This may be attributable to excessive torque of the applied brackets. Only approximate figures for the vertical positioning for other teeth could be given, as anatomical variations have to be considered.
