This invention refers to a MEASURING APPARATUS FOR THE PROGRAMMING AND
WELDING OF ADJUSTABLE BRACKETS permitting the electrical spot welding
with a great accuracy of the elements of an adjustable bracket, in this
manner being able to adjust or to program the information that the
orthodontist wants to incorporate in the bracket in regard to
inclination, angulation and rotation. In order to achieve this aim I
developed two attachments: THE POSITION MEASURING ACCESSORY and the
WELDING ACCESSORY.THE POSITION MEASURING ACCESSORY has the function of
recording or measuring accurately the dental position as for inclination,
angulation and rotation on dental casts. This measurement is performed by
means of a template system that allows the recording a tooth position in
relation to its osseous basis and the occlusal plane.THE WELDING
ACCESSORY has the innovation of allowing the accurate welding of the
adjustable bracket elements (base and body), being able to adjust or
program (in the three space planes) the information of inclination,
angulation and rotation that the orthodontist wants to incorporate in the
bracket by means of three fine graduation systems.
