Torque In Orthodontics

For all patients, the lower third of the face and particularly the anterior teeth are vital for social communication and acceptance. Orthodontic treatment aims to position anterior teeth to achieve optimum aesthetics and function.1 Orthodontic treatment objectives can thus be stated as obtaining functional occlusion, esthetics and stability. One of the criteria for obtaining a functional occlusion is to have ideal axial inclinations of all teeth at the end of active treatment.
