Orthos* Marking System
- All brackets are color-coded by quadrant.
- Upper right—Blue.
- Upper left—Black.
- Lower right—Red.
- Lower left—Yellow.
- The dimple or paint mark is on the distogingival tie-wing unless otherwise noted.
- Upper and lower 2nd bicuspids have dimples/paint on both gingival tie-wings.
- Upper centrals are wider than upper laterals.
- The lower laterals, cuspids and bicuspids also feature a scribe line on the occlusal tie-wing.
- Because of the specificity of the Orthos appliance, there are no universal brackets.
- Orthos lower laterals with CIS have a permanent I.D. dot on the distogingival tie-wing, with the appropriate color.
To achieve the proper expression of the Orthos appliance, all brackets should be placed at the following heights (based on the average patient).
