aesthetic
risks
decalcification
relapse
root resorption
benefits
fct aesthetics dental health reduce risk of trauma facilitate other dental tx
why ortho assess?
determine if any malocclusion present
identify any underlying causes
decide if tx indicated
when assess?
brief at 9yrs - interceptive ortho
comprehensive 11-12yrs - when 3s and 4s erupt
when older pts first present
if a malocclusion develops later in life
ideal occlusion - Andrews 6 keys
molar relationship crown angulation crown inclination no rotations no spaces flat occlusal plane (no curve of Spee)
normal occlusion
more common than ideal
minor deviations that do not contribute an aesthetic or fct problem
malocclusions
more significant deviations from the ideal that may be considered unsatisfactory (aesthetically or fct)
may require tx but pt factors may influence decision
PMH
allergy - Ni or latex
epilepsy - if not well-controlled avoid URA
drugs - some induce e.g. gingival overgrowth
imaging - delay tx until had scans
PDH
freq attendance
prev tx
cooperation
trauma - RR
dentoskeletal relationships
teeth on individual skeletal bases which are attached to the cranial base
- maxilla - maxillary teeth and alveolus
- mandible - mandibular teeth and alveolus
ideal FMPA
meet at occipuit
lateral skeletal assessment ref line
mid sagittal plane
assessing skeletal pattern
visual
palpate skeletal bases
effect of lip trap
may procline U incisors
may lead to relapse of OJ if persists at end of tx
effect of hyperactive L lip
may retrocline L incisors
indicates likely instability at end of tx
lips
competent/incompetent
trap
lower lip activity
which type of tongue thrust may cause a relapse of AOB?
endogenous
tongue thrust associated with
AOB
angulation of U incisors to Frankfort plane
110 degrees
angulation of L incisors to mandibular plane
90 degrees
types of tooth movement
physiological - tooth eruption - mesial drift - U better orthodontic - from externally generated forces
tooth eruption stages
pre-eruptive tooth movement intra-osseous eruption mucosal penetration pre-occlusal eruption post-occlusal eruption
pre-eruptive tooth movement
small random movement
rocks in crypt
intra-osseous eruption
when roots begin to form
slow
1mm/3m to 1mm/3yrs
mucosal penetration
fast
1-2mm per month
pre-occlusal eruption
slow
stops when tooth hits something hard - when PDL begins to form
post-occlusal eruption
v slow
tooth eruption theories
root elongation alveolar bone remodel PDL formation apical blood flow important PTH receptor gene
interceptive tx
utilise tooth eruption to minimise impact of a developing malocclusion
interceptive tx - ectopic U C
remove c - 10-13yrs
permanent teeth can be encouraged ti erupt if extract primary tooth at correct stage - 1/2 to 2/3 root development
prevalence of ectopic U3
1-2%
when should you palpate for U3?
9-10yrs
buccal sulcus
things to assess when looking at ectopic U3
height
closeness to midline
- doesn’t overlap adjacent incisor by >1/2
- angle between vertical and canine ideally <30 degrees
physiological basis of tooth movement ortho
if external force applied to tooth - will move as bone around it remodels
bony remodelling mediated by PDL
- if ankylosed/no PDL will not move (will cause movement of other healthy teeth)
cementum much more resistant to resorption than bone
- but some RR after ortho expected
OBs and OCs
- appliances transmit force to PDL and bone
- phagocytosed by macrophages when stop functioning
theories for ortho tooth movement
differential pressure theory
Piezoelectric pressure theory
mechano-chemical pressure theory
differential pressure theory
force =
tension areas - deposition
compression areas - resorption
Piezoelectric pressure theory
Piezoelectric currents generated when crystalline structures such as bone are deformed
compression side more +, tension side more -
- OB and OC get preferentially recruited to certain sides
mechano-chemical pressure theory
mechanical stress
release of neuropeptides from nerve endings
stimulate FBs, endothelial cells and alv bone
FBs also comm with OBs and OCs
alv bone and PDL remodelling = tooth movement
force for tooth movement - tipping
35-60g
force for tooth movement - bodily movement
150-200g
force for tooth movement - intrusion
10-20g
force for tooth movement - extrusion
35-60g
force for tooth movement - rotation
35-60g
force for tooth movement - torque
50-100g
what movement do fixed appliances produce?
bodily movement
intrusion
pressure on supporting structures
resorption of bone
extrusion
tension in supporting structures
bone deposition
functional appliances mechanism by which they work
skeletal changes 30%
- growth of mandible, restraint of maxilla
dentoalveolar changes 70%
- facial musculature stretched which generates forces transmitted to teeth and alveolus
- retroclination U teeth
- proclination L teeth
light force
hyperaemia within PDL OB and OC appear resorption of LD from pressure side apposition of osteoid on tension side remodelling of socket - frontal resorption PD fibres reorganise gingival fibres appear not to become reorganised but remain distorted slow tooth movement
mod force
occlusion of PDL vessels on pressure side
hyperaemia of PDL vessels on tension side
cell-free areas on pressure side (hyalinisation)
- no cells, not dead but nothing going on so can’t resorb
period of stasis
increased endosteal vascularity
undermining resorption
increased OC activity
= get OC coming in and nibble from below
sudden movement of tooth CLUNK
- tooth may become slightly loose
healing of PDL - reorganisation and remodelling
rotation
need a force couple - 2 forces in opp directions
excessive force
necrosis undermining resorption resorption of root surfaces pain permanent change
factors affecting response to ortho force
magnitude
duration
age
anatomy
deleterious effects of ortho forces
pain and mobility pulpal changes RR loss of alveolar bone support relapse
rotational relapse
tend to rotate again due to supercrestal fibres
fibres will gradually move the tooth back after the appliance is removed
aetiology of skeletal variation
genetic
env - MM, mouth breathing, head posture
class 1 ceph
SNA 81 +/- 3
SNB 78 +/- 3
ANB 3 +/- 2
class 2 ceph
SNA usually average but may be increased if maxilla prognathic
SNB usually decreased
ANB >5 degrees
class 3 ceph
expect SNA decreased if maxilla deficient
SNB often average but may be increased if mandible prognathic
ANB <1 degree or negative
dento-alveolar compensation
dento-alveolar structures may disguise underlying skeletal discrepancy
forces from STs - incline teeth towards a position of ST balance

vertical jaw relationship - long facial height
LAFH >55% FMPA >31 degrees steeply inclined mandibular plane backward mandibular growth rotation AOB tendency
vertical jaw relationship - short facial type
LAFH <55% FMPA <23 degrees tendency to parallelism of jaws forward mandibular growth rotation deep overbite tendency
mandibular displacement
inter-arch width discrepancy causes posterior teeth to meet cusp to cusp
mandible forced to deviate to one side to achieve position of inter-cuspation
- association with TMD - one reason why you would treat it
transverse jaw discrepancies: arch width discrepancies
disproportion of M and M arches
maxillary arch too narrow is the most common
causes buccal CBs
often exaggerated by AP discrepancies
transverse dento-alveolar compensation
small maxilla - upper molars tend to flare outwards due to forces of tongue
moulding to compensate
facial asymmetry causes
dental cause
true mandibular asymmetry
arch size discrepancies - DA disproportion
discrepancy between size of teeth and jaws
crowding
- small jaws, normal teeth (most common)
- macrodontia
spacing
- large jaws, normal teeth
- microdontia

skeletal
dental
STs
other e.g. habits
local causes of malocclusion
variation in tooth number variation in tooth size/form abnormalities of tooth position ST abnormalities local pathology

often extract
