Maintaining Incisor Inclination-Torque Control
I realize we often put torque control as an objective, but I am not confident on my answer when asked how we would achieve this end. Could we please review treatment mechanics to maintain incisor inclination/torque control?
Many thanks!

Elizabeth, I think about this related to the appliance that I am using.
For example, Using 22 slot Twin Brackets, I have little Torque control in a round steel wire but in a large rectangular steel (19×25 or 21×25) I have greater Torque control. The term “control” I interpret as I am affecting the change with my treatment.
Sometimes I do NOT want to express torque of the bracket… for example I will frequently use round steel for the lower arch in a Class III case.
Does that help out? Think of maybe some other ways we do this to? TAD T-bars? Bends?
