![]() Bearing type is there to create a flat surface for the platen to push against, to spread the stress of the press evenly to prevent the type, and the blank section of the page, from being damaged. In setting a page with a small amount of text at the top and the rest blank, the printer would have needed some bearing type. a1v (Glasgow, Special Collections Hunterian Be.2.9)īut unlike our absent-present sonnet, this isn’t a deliberate effect. It was printed in Augsburg in 1476, and you can see below that it features 7 lines of uninked, embossed text, not unlike our sonnet 126.Įxpositio in evangelium S. You’ve read it, right? The book is an incunable: from the Latin ‘incunabula’, meaning ‘swaddling clothes’ or ‘cradle’, a term describing a book from the earliest years of printing (technically, before 1501). It's a copy of Saint Ambrosius’ discourse on St Luke, Expositio in evangelium S. It’s from a book in the Hunterian Collection at Glasgow University, discussed in an excellent blog post by Robert MacLean, here. Here is something similar: ghostly, but more permanent. In a demonstration of the dynamism of paper, of (despite our expectations) the non-static nature of the page, the sonnet drifted slowly towards blankness, save for an inked ‘126’ and those two pairs of brackets. Because we’d not moistened the page sufficiently, the embossed text gradually undid itself, flattening down, reverting to an earlier, more comfortable state. One thing we didn’t foresee: in time, the paper started reverting back to its smooth original state. A printed page is normally made up of paper marked with ink pressed on to it but here, apart from the brackets and the number, the paper is both the receiving surface and the impressing text. Or not quite blank: uninked, but with a depth that is just about legible. The Incognito brackets are done individually for each tooth which explains the higher costs for the laboratory material.Is the sonnet here, or is it missing? Or is it here as something missing? Is it coming into being – or passing away? Elements of the poem that might seem to be outside the main text become the only inked presences: the rest is blank. It is possible to have the treatment done with high quality due the precision of the brackets and wires made by the Incognito system. The brackets are placed on the lingual side of the teeth. Lingual Brackets : We are using the system called Incognito®. The aligners are made individually for your teeth. One removable aligner is worn two to three weeks before being replaced by the next aligner. Removable splints: We use among others the splint system called Invisalign®.This treatment contains a series of clear and removable aligners that can move your teeth over time. Ceramic does not change its dimensions simply by applying orthodontic forces such as brackets made from resin. Ceramic brackets do not change color by time due to the intake of coffee, food (curry) or wine etc. There are several advantages of ceramic brackets compared to brackets made from plastic. Nowadays, there exist different possibilities to reduce the visibility of an orthodontic treatment in patients who prefer it for professional and personal reasons.Ĭeramic brackets: We us the ceramic brackets of the Clarity® type.
