CONT

L'appareil le plus répandu est l'appareil edgewise sur lequel l'insertion du fil se fait horizontalement et dont la majorité des [attaches] antérieures sont des brackets collés ou scellés.

OBS

Le terme «edgewise» se réfère au fait que la gorge de l'attache est fabriquée de telle sorte qu'elle permette l'insertion de l'arc, avec sa plus grande dimension perpendiculaire au grand axe de la dent, au lieu de lui être parallèle, comme cela était le cas [auparavant.]
