Any orthodontic appliance reflects certain concepts and assumptions which the designer has made concerning the nature of tooth movement and the objectives of treatment. Proper diagnosis and treatment planning is a key to effective patient management. One of the prime concerns of the patient seeking orthodontic treatment is aesthetics. Optimum treatment in the shortest time is a pre-requisite to successful orthodontic management. Making an accurate diagnosis of the changes observed in patients is necessary. Likewise, an effective treatment plan performed within a shorter period, with as little injuries to protective andsupporting tissues as possible, is also essential. Thus, regardless of the type of bracket, prescription, technique, or slot, recommending the most appropriate treatment is what matters. For this reason, knowing the principles on which each method is based, as well as its limitations, is essential.
