Roth VS MBT PDF

This document provides instructions for assessing 40 orthodontic cases to determine if they were treated using the MBT or Roth bracket prescriptions. Participants are asked to evaluate 6 aspects of tooth positioning for each case, including the torque of upper and lower incisors, and the torque and mesio-distal tip of upper canines. A visual scale is provided to aid in assessing canine tip. For each case, participants make predictions on whether treatment was with MBT or Roth brackets based on their evaluations.

Appendix 1

Does bracket prescription have an effect on the outcome of fixed orthodontic


treatment?
By assessing the torque of the upper and lower incisors (labio-lingual/palatal) and both
the torque and tip (mesio-distal) of the upper canines, we wonder whether you are able
to predict if a case was treated using the MBT or Roth prescription better than chance.

You are asked to assess 6 aspects of each finished case and then to predict if it was
treated with Roth or MBT bracket prescriptions.

The following visual scale is for assisting in the assessment of canine mesio-distal tip:

Correct Tip

Distal Tip
Upright
Please assess the following 40 cases.

2. Torque of the lower incisors (LR2 to LL2)

7. Do you think this case was treated with MBT or Roth?

MBT Roth
