Q

Soft tissue features?

A
  • lips often incompetent due to prominence of incisors and/or underlying skeletal pattern
  • lower lip trap can be cause of increased overjet
  • if lip’s incompetent then special effort needed to achieve anterior oral seal

Q

How to achieve anterior oral seal?

A

3 separate ways
1. Lip to lip seal by activity of circum-oral musculature- mandible postured to allow lips to meet
2. Lower lip drawn up behind upper incisors- tongue placed forwards between incisors to lower lip
3. Combination of these

Q

Dental factors of class 2 div 1?

A
  • increased overjet
  • overbite varies
  • potentially good alignment, crowding or spacing
  • molar relationship
  • habitually parted lips may lead to drying of gingiva and exacerbation of any pre-existing gingivitis

Q

What should u consider when thinking of accepting class 2 div 1

A
  • mildly increased overjet
  • significant overjet but patient not unhappy
  • will tx options be more difficult in future?
  • advice re mouthguard

Q

2 ways in which u can attempt growth modification?

A
  1. Headgear- try and restrain growth of maxilla horizontally and/or vertically
  2. Functional appliance

Q

How do functional appliances work?

A
  • FAs utilize, eliminate or guide forces of muscle function, tooth eruption and growth to correct malocclusion
  • mandible postured downwards and forwards
  • aim to restrain maxillary growth and promote mandibular growth
  • success depends on favourable growth and enthusiastic patient
  • used mostly for class 2 div 1, can use for 2 div 2, limited use for div 3
17
Q

Types of functional appliances?

A
  1. Removable:
    - Tooth borne e.g. twin block, activator/bionator
    - soft tissue borne- frankel
  2. Fixed- herbst
18
Q

When should functional appliances ideally be used?

A

Pubertal growth spurt
Can be used earlier - about 10 (2 phase tx)

19
Q

Potential disadvantage of early treatment with FA?

A
  • early skeletal effect from FA not maintained in long term
  • 2 phase tx, longer tx time- 1st phase early functional appliance plus retention- 2nd phase- fixed appliance in early permanent dentition
20
Q

Potential benefits of early Tx with FA

A
  • improve appearance earlier (psychological benefit)
  • reduced risk of trauma
  • better compliance
21
Q

How would u use a URA to tip teeth in class 2 div 1

A

Active: roberts retractor 0.5mm in tubing
Retention: Adams clasp 6/6 0.7mm HSSW
Anchorage: Mesial stops 3/3
Baseplate: FABP

22
Q

How can camouflage help with class 2 div 1

A
  • upper arch extraction to create space for OJ reduction
  • non extraction OJ reduction and molar correction
23
Q

Features of orthognathic surgery

A
  • when growth is complete
  • severe skeletal discrepancy in A/P and/or vertical direction
  • mostly mandibular surgery
  • fixed appliances required before, during and after surgery
