31
By what age is primary dentition occlusal relationship established?
36 months
32
Baume Type I
Spaced primary dentition | Approximately 2/3 of kids
33
Baume Type II
Non-spaced primary dentition | Approximately 1/3 of kids
34
Primate Spaces
Mesial to upper primary canines in maxilla | Distal to lower primary canines in mandible
35
Molar terminal plane relationships frequencies
Mesial step: 14% incidence Flush terminal plane: 76% incidence Distal step: 10% incidence
36
Incisor relationships
Overbite: 2mm (30-50% vertical overlap) Overjet: 0-3mm
37
Early Mesial Shift
Closing of interdental space between molars prior to eruption of permanent molars Occurs due to eruption path of permanent molars which guide on distal roots of primary second molars
38
What age does early mesial shift occur?
Approximately 4 years of age
39
Eruption timing of permanent teeth (broad)
Permanent teeth erupt beginning at 6 years of age and is generally complete by 12 years of age upon eruption of maxillary canines and/or second permanent molars
40
Permanent teeth eruption sequence
Maxilla: 6-1-2-4-5-3-7 Mandible: 6-1-2-3-4-5-7 *Permanent mandibular arch is the only one that erupts in order of position (with exception of first molar of course)
41
What is the buccal segment in the transitional dentition?
Primary teeth that remain (C-D-E)
42
Incisor liability
Permanent incisors are larger than primary incisors 7. 1mm in maxilla 5. 1mm in mandible
43
Intercanine width expansion
Upper width: mean of 3.0mm Lower width: men of 2.4mm More labial eruption of permanent incisors increases arch perimeter
44
Permanent incisor relationships
Typically 1-2mm of lower incisor "crowding" No spacing or crowding in upper incisor segment "Ugly duckling" stage with splayed maxillary incisors considered normal Overjet: range 0-3mm Overbite: range 0-5mm
45
Permanent molar relationships - Class I
Considered ideal Maxillary first molar mesial cusp in mandibular molar buccal groove Occurs when primary molars are mild mesial step
46
Permanent molar relationships - End On Class II
Majority of mixed dentition occlusions | Occurs when primary molars are flush terminal plane
47
Permanent molar relationships - Full Class II
Maxillary first molar mesial cusp forward in embrasure between lower first molar and second primary molar or second premolar Occurs when primary molars are distal step
48
Permanent molar relationships - Class III
Maxillary first molar mesial cusp distal to lower first molar buccal groove Occurs when primary molars are more severe mesial step Must discriminate from pseudo-class III with forward shift of mandible to exaggerate discrepancy
49
Leeway space
Size differential between primary C-D-E segment and permanent 3-4-5 segment Upper leeway space: 0.9-1.1mm per quadrant Lower leeway space: 1.7-2.4mm per quadrant
50
Late mesial shift
``` Mesial shift of permanent first molars into leeway space when second primary molars exfoliate Contributes to correction of typical flush terminal plane relationship into class I ```
51
Closure of maxillary diastema
Maxillary diastemata in mixed dentition typically close on eruption of maxillary canines
52
Ideal primary dentition occlusion
Flush terminal plane or mesial step molar with class I canines Generalized spacing including primate spaces 2mm overjet, 2mm overbite (30%)
53
How does primary spcae affect rowding outcome in mixed dentition?
Spacing 3-6mm: no transitional crowding Spacing less than 3mm: 20% incisor crowding No spacing: 50% incisor crowding Crowded primary teeth: 100% incisor crowding
54
Mesial step indication for permanent molar relationship
``` 68% convert to class I 19% convert to class III Usually reflecting class III skeletal malocclusion ```
55
Flush terminal plane indication for permanent molar relationship
``` 56% shift to class I 44% stay end-on or class II 15% reflect skeletal malocclusion involving mandibular retrognathia Canines also demonstrate class II positioning with pronounced overjet of 6mm+ ```
56
DIstal step indication for permanent molar relationship
``` Usually results in full class II Some shift to end-on class II molars ```
57
Canine relationship in primary and permanent dentitions
``` Best predictor of sagittal relationship into permanent dentition Mesial step canines usually result in class I Distal step/end-on usually result in class II Excessive mesial step with incisor crossbite usually results in class III ```
58
Influences on permanent molar transisition
Primary molar terminal plane relationship Primary spacing which may be closed by "early mesial shift" as permanent molars erupt Leeway space, which allows "late mesial shift" Mandibular growth and differential growth may affect relative A-P positioning
59
Consequences of premature loss of primary incisors
Space loss unlikely if primary canines erupted into occlusion Replacement of primary incisors is not required to maintain space -elective for cosmetic issues, may be beneficial for language development
60
Consequences of premature loss of primary canines
Usually due to ectopic eruption of permanent laterals -indicator of significant TSALD -beyond simple space maintenance - space analysis required Premature loss sometimes secondary to trauma/caries -no space maintenance generally indicated except to maintain midline symmetry
61
Consequences of premature loss of first primary molars
Space loss considered negligible if first primary molars lost after first permanent molars erupt into occlusion Space maintenance indicated if first permanent molars not erupted or are in active eruption -usually unilateral fixed appliances (band/loop)
62
Consequences of premature loss of second primary molars
Space loss in either arch most dramatic in association with eruption of first permanent molars Dimensional space loss greater in maxillary arch -maxillary 1st permanent molars move forward and rotate around palatal root -mandibular molars show mesial and lingual crown tipping If first permanent molar is not erupted or active eruption -distal shoe, reverse band and loop, removable appliance If first permanent molar is erupted -band and loop, bilateral space maintainers
63
Band and loop
- replacement for loss of single tooth - can be forward or reverse - may need to be replaced on exfoliation of primary canine (especially in mandible)
64
Crown and loop
Use is similar to band and loop with loop soldered directly on crown
65
Distal Shoe
Used for replacement for loss of primary second molar when permanent molar hasn't erupted Narrowest (most specific) indications for use Most contraindications for use
66
Lower lingual holding arch
Replacement for loss of multiple teeth in mandibular arch May also be used to prevent lingual tipping of incisors following premature loss of canines May interfere with eruption of permanent incisors if placed prior to eruption
67
Nance appliance
Replacement for loss of multiple teeth in maxillary arch | Acrylic button provides resistance to mesial movement, but can accumulate plaque
68
Transpalatal or Goshgarian arch
Replacement for loss of multiple teeth in maxillary arch | Considered less efficient than Nance, but can be used to create minor orthodontic tooth movement
69
When is bilateral space maintainer advised?
Once first permanent molars are erupted | Important to control molars and allow buccal segment transition due to eruption patterns and potential loss of abutments
70
Removable appliances
Acrylic appliances Replacement for loss of multiple teeth in either arch May be used instead of distal shoe for replacement of primary second molar
71
Regaining lost posterior space
Indicated if it simplifies, minimizes or eliminates subsequent orthodontic treatment - maxillary regaining: headgear, fixed molar distalizing appliances, removable appliances - mandibular regaining: lip bumper, active lingual arch, removable split-saddle
72
Overview of preventive orthodontic treatment
To preserve and maintain normal relationships in developing occlusion through prevention of oral disease, restorative care and space maintenance approximately 50% of children would benefit from guidance and interceptive procedures beyond "preventive" interventions
73
Overview of limited orthodontic treatment
Ortho treatment with a limited objective, not necessarily involving the entire dentition It may be directed at only existing problem, or only one aspect of a larger problem in which a decision is made to defer or forego more comprehensive therapy (ADA CDT 2016)
74
Overview of interceptive orthodontic treatment
Extension of preventive orthodontics that may include localized tooth movement May occur in primary or transitional dentition Includes redirection of ectopically erupting teeth, correction of crossbite or recovery of space loss May reduce severity of malformation when initiated during incipient stages
75
Conditions considered for minor tooth movement procedures within the context of interceptive orthodontic treatment
Oral habits Dental/functional anterior crossbites Posterior crossbites Ectopic eruption of permanent first molars Recognition and correction of dental anomalies -identification and elimination of anomalies and effects -supernumerary teeth, missing teeth, tooth size/shape anomalies, ankylosis, pathologic lesions, etc.
76
Space supervision overview
Encompasses treatment procedures derived from clinical judgment where clinician determines that a patient's occlusion will have a better chance of obtaining optimum development with supervised intervention (Moyers)
77
Guidance of eruption (space supervision)
Procedures that influence eruptive patterns of permanent teeth When overall space is adequate to accommodate a normal complement of permanent teeth with acceptable esthetics and functions (Hotz)
78
Goals of space supervision/guidance of eruption
Improved esthetics/incisor integrity Dentitional development without functional problems Optimal permanent tooth eruption Avoid unnecessary extraction of permanent teeth -optimal use of leeway space and arch perimeter
79
Clinical procedures in space supervision
Preventive and restorative dentistry -preserve arch integrity and arch perimeter Space maintenance -stabilize molar and anterior tooth positions to prevent loss of arch length Disking of primary teeth -reduction of mesiodistal primary tooth structure to enhance adjacent permanent tooth alignment through timely use of leeway space Selective extraction of primary teeth -extension of disking concepts in timely removal of primary teeth to enhance permanent tooth eruption and alignment positioning Minor tooth movements -biomechanical tooth movements to return or direct developing occlusion to normal -minimal or simple appliance therapy over short interval
80
Non-nutritive digit sucking habits prevalence
Normal at early age 50% of children with NNS habit will discontinue between 24-28 months of age Incidence rate of 10-15% at age 5
81
Do digital habits or pacifier habits last longer?
Digital | Both produce similar effects if persist past 4 years of age
82
Consequences of NNS
``` Anterior openbite Distorted incisor eruption Increased overjet Proclined upper incisors Linguoversion of lower incisors Posterior crossbite with constricted maxilla Possible class II relation ```
83
When should you consider intervention to NNS?
Prior to eruption of permanent anterior teeth approximating age 5 to 6 years if NNS habit persists and patient-parent indicate understanding of need to stop - use "gentle persuasion" as beginning treatment; behavior modification can be successful - cribs, rakes, "bluegrass appliance" are choices for fixed therapy to "help" child quit
84
Anterior Crossbites in Primary Dentition
Must distinguish between true class III versus pseudo-class III
85
Pseudo-Class III (primary)
Incisal and canine interference produces anterior shift of mandible on closure Treatment directed at advancement of maxillary incisor segment to eliminate interference Fixed or removable maxillary appliances with finger or sweep springs to advance incisors Treatment most frequently considered limited
86
True Class III (primary)
Presents classic skeletal and dental patterns with retruded maxilla, prognathic mandible, "adult" concave profile, retroclined lower incisors Treatment directed at dentofacial orthopedic changes to correct skeletal malocclusion -reverse pull headgear/facemask to encourage maxillary growth -chincup to discourage mandibular growth -treatment most frequently considered interceptive with expectation of future comprehensive treatment *both true and pseudo-class III may require concurrent maxillary expansion
87
Functional posterior crossbite in primary dentition
>90% of primary dentition posterior crossbites express functional shift Origin usually bilateral maxillary constriction -decreased maxillary intercanine width with vertically oriented primary canine interferences -first contact position with coincident midlines exhibits typical transverse end-on buccal segment cusp-to-cusp occlusion -shift of mandible on closure results in appearance of unilateral crossbite -crossbite involves entire buccal segment >90% CDE, 2/3 include lateral incisor Asymmetric midline/chin position associated with asymmetric growth pattern
88
Basic treatment of posterior crossbite in primary dentition
Fixed rapid palatal expanders (RPE of Haas, Hyrax) - over 90% success Fixed archwire expanders using "slow, low-force" approach (w-arch, quad helix) over 90% success Removable Schwartz plate - type appliances - 70% success
89
Bilateral posterior crossbite in primary dentition
True maxillary skeletal constriction with bilateral buccal segment crossbite, midline symmetry and no notable shift of mandible 2-3% of posterior crossbites in children Often associated with dolichofacial skeletal vertical growth, openbite malocclusion, compromised airways, mouthbreathing Basic treatment is maxillary expansion -long term management generally requires multi-phased comprehensive approach
90
Ectopic eruption of first permanent molars
Incidence 2-3% in maxillary arch, rare in lower Self-correction 2/3 of cases Consequence: if not corrected by age 7, can see supereruption of mandibular molar
91
Treatment of ectopic eruption
Observation - 2/3 correct Rare for self-correction after age 7 Once mandibular molar is level with occlusal plane, treatment is indicated Brass ligature wire, elastic separators, careful disking of second primary molar distal ledge Humphrey appliance: fixed palatal archwire from E's with distalization spring to first molar Halterman appliance: fixed palatal archwire from E's with distalization elastics to bonded button
92
Mandibular incisor crowding
Considered normal Average crowding is -1.6 +/- 1.0mm after incisor eruption complete After lateral incisor eruption, what you see is what you get If crowding is excessive (beyond 2-3mm), plan long-term arch development approach versus serial extraction If crowding can be accommodated by controlled use of leeway space, intervene
93
Considerations for use of leeway space
Periodontium - thin labial gingiva or mucogingival defect Profile and incisor position - incisors most stable where "naturally" found Vertical relationships - extractions deepen bite, non-extractions open bite Premature exfoliation of primary teeth
94
Interventions for relieving incisor crowding - disking of primary canines
- can allow 1-2mm of space per side (must go subgingival) - indicated with less than 3-4mm of incisor crowding - indicated when laterals erupting to alignment with eruptive width changes complete - indicated when primary canine roots are intact - preferred option, especially in deepbite patterns to maintain vetical support
95
Interventions for relieving incisor crowding - extraction of primary canines
- to enhance arch symmetry, coincident midlines and incisor integrity when incisor liability is greater than 4mm - recommended with asymmetric ectopic loss of primary canine producing a midline shift (extract contralateral canine) - frequently step 1 of serial extraction program especially in dolichofacial openbite - strongly recommended to place LLHA as extraction of primary canines reduces arch perimeter and can lead to lingual collapse of incisors, deep bite, increased overjet
96
Interventions for relieving incisor crowding - edgewise appliance
-use of Edgewise 2X4 appliance to position incisors and molars toward favorable class I relationships with incisor integrity, midline coincidence and normal overbite and overjet
97
To extract or not to extract? (serial extractions)
Facial type is a critical factor in decision - Brachyfacial/deepbite: prioritize arch development/expansion - Dolichofacial/openbite: extraction protocol more likely
98
Lower lingual holding arch benefits
"Late" supervision of leeway space - use of LLHA with selective extraction of primary molars reserves the "E-space" and controls late mesial shift - timely placement of LLHA allows distal eruptive positioning of premolars and canines (1.5mm distal placement) and provides 2-4mm of space for relief of incisor crowding - applicable in 2/3 - 3/4 of children with normal crowding patterns - initiation of edgewise therapy to position incisors and molars toward class I relationships while controlling leeway space also applicable in timing with loss of second primary molars
99
Ankylosed teeth - most common tooth?
Lower first primary molars | Followed by upper first primary, lower second primary, and upper second primary
100
Does resorption of ankylosed teeth occur?
Resorption of ankylosed molars usually proceeds in normal mode with 95% of premolars erupting into proper occlusion with normal periodontal health and alveolar bone height Most common sequela is simply delayed transition as to timing
101
Sequela of ankylosed teeth
Static retention of ankylosed tooth often results in clinical "submersion" and supreeruption of opposing tooth Can result in tipping of adjacent teeth with accompanying space loss Second primary molars are of much greater significance to arch integrity than first primary molars - especially when ankylosis occurs before eruption of permanent molars
102
Management/intervention of ankylosed teeth
May monitor early on, as tooth often shows normal exfoliation Mesiodistal width and occlusal relationships may be maintained with composite build-ups, stainless steel crowns Eventual treatment may involve extraction later if exfoliation is delayed or deflected eruption of permanent successor occurs May need space maintenance if indicated unless sufficient crowding to justify serial extraction plan
103
Supernumerary teeth Incidence
Reported in up to 3.6% of children Occur 10x more in maxilla Occurs in boys 2x more than girls Mesiodens: 80% single, 20% two or more -most palatally positioned (90%) -75% need surgical extraction as they remain impacted Can be responsible for delayed eruption of permanent teeth, over-retention of primary teeth, displaced teeth, diastemas, abnormal root resorption, dentigerous cysts, malocclusion
104
Supernumerary Teeth - Treatment
Remove when no harm will come to permanent teeth -prefer to wait until 1/2 to 2/3 of root development of adjacent permanent teeth -patient age and potential for cooperation also factors in delaying surgical intervention -watchful waiting allows time for possible eruption of supernumerary, avoidance of surgical exposure When removed, exposure of permanent teeth with provision of eruption channel recommended -up to 80% of permanent teeth spontaneously erupt after removal of supernumerary -ortho treatment often necessary to make room and position properly
105
Comprehensive Orthodontic Treatment - definition
"Includes a coordinated diagnosis and treatment leading to the improvement of a patient's craniofacial dysfunction and/or dentofacial deformity which may include anatomical, functional and/or esthetic relationships. Treatment may utilize fixed and/or removable orthodontic appliances and may also include functional and/or orthopedic appliances in growing and non-growing patients. Adjunctive procedures to facilitate care may be required. Comprehensive orthodontics may incorporate treatment phases focusing on specific objectives at various stages of dentofacial development." ADA CDT 2016
106
Crowding/Malalignment in Permanent Dentition
Depending on amount, space in permanent dentition is gained via protrusive movement of anterior teeth, retrusion of posterior teeth, arch expansion or tooth mass reduction (extraction or IPR)
107
Maxillary Canine Eruptive Displacement Incidence
Usually palatal displacement in 1-2% of population Females affected 3 times more than males More common is mesiolabial displacements secondary to segmental crowding - up to 10% of children -labial and palatal malpositioning associated with atypical resorption of permanent incisors -ectopic eruption or impaction may be associated with constricted maxillary intercanine width, agenesis or microdontia of lateral incisor, and arch length deficiency
108
Early recognition of maxillary canine eruptive displacement
Approximating 10-12 years, palpation and radiographic evaluation with periapical or panoramic images Clinical signs: lateral incisor distal inclinations pronounced, small maxillary lateral, primary canines not mobile, eruptive bulging of canines atypical
109
Treatment intervention of maxillary canine eruptive displacement
Interceptive: excessive canine mesial orientation may be redirected to more distal and vertical eruption path through removal of primary canine when permanent canine has 2/3 root development -if the displaced permanent canine overlap of adjacent lateral incisor is not beyond the midline long axis, chances for canine normal repositioning after primary canine extraction is 85-90% -if overlap is beyond lateral long axis, successful repositioning in 60% Comprehensive: edgewise appliances to ensure space for positioning and establish anchorage for ortho eruption: uncover canine, engage with attachments
110
Congenitally missing permanent teeth
Most common = lower second bicuspids -then upper lateral, upper second premolar Incidence of missing permanent teeth is about 4%, no gender difference Affects two or more teeth in about half of cases, frequently symmetrical pattern Consideration: cone-shaped teeth characteristically seen in association with missing teeth
111
Consequences and considerations of congenitally missing teeth
Important to consider long-term arch alignment First decision is whether to keep or extract the primary tooth Space closure usually desirable for bilateral missing teeth For single missing teeth, usually try to maintain space until future prosthetic management
112
Treatment options for missing permanent teeth - missing laterals
Noncrowded arches, class I/II: Maintain primary lateral and/or manage and open space orthodontically with long-term plan for implants or Maryland bridge Crowded arches, class II: Enhance movement of permanent canines forward into lateral position with "early" extraction of primary laterals, latera orthodontic alignment for "canine replacement"
113
Treatment options for missing permanent teeth - missing second premolars
Noncrowded arches, class I/II: Maintain primary molar and/or manage space with long-term plan for implants Crowded arches, class III: Enhance movement of permanent first molars forward with "early extraction of primary second molar Important to keep in mind that case reports exist showing second premolar tooth germ development/calcification not until as late as 10 years of age
114
Overview of dentofacial orthopedics
Biomechanical treatment directed at altering the relationships of the jaws and the activity patterns of orofacial muscles to effect changes in facial proportions
115
Rationale of dentofacial orthopedics
Objectives of facial and dental esthetics with functional harmony can rarely be achieved without compromise unless basal arch relationships are in orthognathic position with Class I molar and canine relationships, acceptable overbite and overjet, coordinated transverse archforms
116
Significance of dentofacial orthopedics
To modify growth, one must treat during active growth periods More severe discrepancy, earlier the treatment
117
Class II Division 1 (most common features)
``` Normal maxilla Notable mandibular retrognathia (85%) Vertical growth tendency Narrowed upper arch Good lower arch Full class II, ANB > 6 degrees ```
118
Class II Division 2 (most common features)
``` Normal maxilla Mild mandibular retrognathia Strong chinpoint Deepbite growth tendency Broad archforms End-on class II, ANB < 6 degrees ```
119
Class III (most common features)
``` Combination of maxillary retrognathia, mandibular prognathia Negative ANB Vertical growth patterns Transverse maxillary deficiency Retroclined lower incisors ```
120
Anteroposterior Class II Malocclusion > Protrusive maxilla > directed headgear
Promote restraint of maxillary dental and skeletal forward and vertical development Distalize upper arch and allow normal mandibular growth
121
Cervical Pull Headgear
For Anteroposterior class II malocclusion Optimize molar distalization, redirect vertical development, influence maxillary skeletal growth, decrease overbite Increases lower face height
122
High Pull Headgear
``` For anteroposterior class II malocclusion Promotes horizontal and bodily dental movement of molars, distalization effects are minimal Restrains vertical/forward development of molars and downward/forward growth of maxilla Minimizes lower face height changes to reduce bite opening ```

Indications for extraoral headgear beyond maxillary protrusion
Retraction will not compromise nasolabial profile Distalization of buccal segments to gain arch length and optimize class I molars Anchorage support for incisor retraction Symmetrical AP positioning Active growth: on upward slope of growth curve Arch expansion desirable to enhance forward movement of mandible Cooperation/understanding of patient/family
124
Anteroposterior class II malocclusion > retrusive mandible > funcational appliances
Promote mandibular growth by advancing with protrusive bite appliance, restrain maxillary forward growth Holding mandible forward produces reactive forces on adjacent structures and these reactive forces combine with growth of mandible -move upper teeth backward, move lower teeth forward, and restrain maxillary skeletal growth
125
Conditions favorable for use of functional appliances
Treatment carried out during periods of active growth Favorable growth pattern (contraindicated in dolichofacial growth because they increase lower face height) Nasal airway not compromised Symmetrical dental arches Cooperation
126
Examples of functional advancement appliances
``` Bionator/orthopedic corrector Activator Frankel Herbst Mara ```
127
Anteroposterior Class II Malocclusion with acceptable AP skeletal relationship
Promote corrective changes by restraining/distalizing upper dentition, protracting lower dentition Class II elastics (requires Edgewise appliance) Headgear, distal jets, springs May incorporate selective permanent tooth extractions to camouflage AP discrepancy Class II Div 2 usually want to avoid extractions (will deepen bite)
128
Anteroposterior Class III malocclusion -> retrusive maxilla - > facemask/reverse pull headgear
Protract maxillary complex Extraoral reverse-pull headgear (facemask) redirects or enhances maxillary growth with forward protraction Expand maxillary arch to "unlock"occlusion for enhanced maxillary forward movement May eliminate abnormal muscle function
129
Application of facemask therapy in primary and early mixed dentition
``` Shown to produce most dramatic results for class III correction in shortest time period Treatment concurrent with incisor eruption to optimize growth and occlusal relationships ```
130
Results from reverse-pull headgear
Mesial movement of maxillary molars/incisors (3mm per year) Shearing effect at sutures to maximize displacement of maxillofacial complex Increased lower face height Increases lingual uprighting of lower incisors
131
Anteroposterior Class III Malocclusion - > protrusive mandible -> chincup therapy
Restrain mandibular growth Restraint of true mandibular growth is not documented by long-term studies Primarily redirect mandibular growth direction more vertically Usually contraindicated as it worsens dolichofacial growth pattern
132
Transverse Arch Expansion
``` Basal orthopedic maxillary expansion involving sutural separation achieved before locking of palatal sutures around age 12 Almost all class III patients require this Can benefit about 50% of class II Div I malocclusions ```
133
Posterior Crossbite In Permanent Dentition
Difficulty of creating sutural expansion while minimizing dental tipping and alveolar bone damage (since sutures are fused) Surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion may need to be considered
134
Anterior Openbite with Extraoral Habit
Prolonged digit or pacifier sucking habits Flaring of maxillary incisors/lingual inclination of mandibular incisors -> increased overjet Anterior openbite Distortion of maxillary alveolar process
135
Abnormal muscle activity
Tongue thrust - almost always occurs in response to openbite Perioral dysfunction: lip and mentalis habit with tongue thrust and overjet/openbite Mouth breathing
136
Treatment of Anterior Open Bite
Eliminate habit and control tongue thurst OK to watch before age 4-5, but as incisor transition period approaches, more aggressive intervention needed Psychological rewards: first choice at 4-6 years of age using reward program for three months Mechanotherapy: palatal crib appliance -crib reminds child not to engage in habit and promotes incisor self-alignment -planned for six months wear; habit usually ceases within weeks Myofunctional therapy: only if associated speech problems
137
Deep Overbite
General treatment strategy to extrude posterior teeth and allow rotation of mandible downward Combination of maxillary molar extrusion via cervical headgear or orthopedic functional appliances, intrusion of anterior teeth; may require orthognathic surgery Often associated with Class II Div 2 One of the more difficult orthodontic problems to correct and retain
138
Contemporary Treatment - Clear Aligners
Small movements of teeth using vacuum formed plastic aligners Effective for mild to moderate problems Best used with other auxiliary ortho appliances Minimizes plaque accumulation, tissue inflammation and gingival recession Not good at translational movement Lag time in initiating therapy longer than brackets due to manufacturing process Compliance can be an issue in teens Aligners may cost more for fabrication, but reduced chair time and total expense may be comparable
139
Temporary Skeletal Anchorage Devices (TADS)
Miniscrews and miniplates Miniscrews do not require surgery, miniplates do Miniscrews are cheaper, less risk Miniscrews used for immediate loading, miniplates used for patients with severe malocclusions Both utilized for dental changes in all three planes of space
140
Orthodontic treatment and Sleep Apnea
Prevalence of snoring: 3-27%; prevalence of OSA 1-10% Ortho treatment includes mandibular advancement or maxillary expansion Ortho treatment may reduce pediatric snoring and OSA Only small number of studies conducted to date, more data needed
141
Ortho for Patients with SHCN
75% of patients with disabilities would benefit Increased frequency of overjet, posterior crossbite and anterior openbite Downs: abnormal tongue position, openbite, class III, posterior crossbite CP: class II malocclusion and diastemas Autism: increased frequency of missing teeth, spacing, diastema, anterior crossbite, class II, open bite Parents usually motivated to help in oral hygiene and improve esthetics 53% of orthodontists feel prepared to treat patients with craniofacial anomalies, but only 35% are prepared to treat patients with special needs/dev delays
142
Considerations for Ortho in Patients with SHCN
Gag reflex Uncontrolled movements Ability to submit to prolonged dental procedures (ability to sit still) Drooling Need for procedures under general anesthesia Contraindication: poorly controlled seizure disorder Need to have realistic treatment goals adapted to patient's needs/ability
143
Outcomes of Ortho in Patients with SHCN
Parents of children with disabilities report higher social acceptance and integration after treatment and higher satisfaction with results than parents of healthy children No difference in overall treatment time for children with craniofacial anomalies
