The logic behind Tandem mechanics in alignment

RENATO PARSEKIAN MARTINS

INTRODUCTION: Tandem mechanics can be used in orthodontics to achieve tooth alignment without overloading the brackets and their adhesion. OBJECTIVE: To describe and explain the advantages of applying Tandem mechanics. CONCLUSION: The use of two NiTi archwires in Tandem can be cost-effective for the office, due to the reduced inventory, and can also treat patients with self-ligating brackets without overloading the doors or the brackets adherence.

Keywords: Nickel-titanium. Orthodontic wires. Orthodontics.
