What is TORQUE?
Torque is defined as the force used in twisting a wire upon its long
axis.

EFFECTS OF TORQUING PLAY
21
TORQUE IN BASE VS
TORQUE IN FACE
• The Torque In the base allows the slot of the fully programmed bracket target
correctly on the crown’s mid transverse plane
•Torque in the face causes occluso gingival variation in the placement of slot
point over mid transverse plane

MANDIBULAR ANTERIOR TORQUE
R.G. “Wick” Alexander. The 20 Principles of the Alexander Discipline. Quintessence Publishing Co, Inc., 2008.
MANDIBULAR POSTERIOR TORQUE
• The mandibular second molar tube has 0 degrees of torque because the desired 15
degrees of lingual crown torque is produced by placing an omega loop between
the mandibular first and second molars.
• The omega loop is bent toward the buccal approximately 15 degrees to clear the
soft tissue, provide easier tieback, and aid oral hygiene efforts.
