lec 1 orthodontics Flashcards
who defined orthodontics as:
branch of Dentistry, concerned
with the study of:
§ growth of craniofacial
§ development of occlusion
§ treatment of dentofacial
abnormalities
Moyers
who defined:
“specific area of dental profession that has its
responsibility the study and supervision of growth &
development of dentition and its related anatomical
structures from birth to dental maturity, including
all preventive & corrective procedures of dental
irregularities requiring the repositioning of teeth
by functional & mechanical means to establish
normal occlusion & pleasing facial contours
American Board of Orthodontics
comes from 2 Greek Words
ü “Orthos”: _________
ü “Dons”:_________
right or correct

Orthodontia was first used by Frenchman ____________________

Preventive Orthodontics
ü elimination of deleterious local habits involving dentofacial structure
Preventive Orthodontics
ü correction of contributory
causes such as
§ incorrect posture
§ malnutrition
Preventive Orthodontics

Preventive Orthodontics
ü use of space maintainers
§ after premature loss
of deciduous teeth
Preventive Orthodontics
phase of science & art of
Orthodontics
§ employed to recognize & eliminate potential
irregularities & malpositions in developing Dentofacial Complex
Interceptive Orthodontics
true or false:
certain procedure under
preventive & interceptive
Orthodontics fields may
overlap
true
recognizes the existence of a malocclusion
Corrective Orthodontics
common appliances used in the correction of cross bite
ü Tongue Blade Therapy
ü Quadhelix Apppliance
ü Inclined Planes
recognizes the need for
employing certain technical procedures to
reduce and eliminate problem
Corrective Orthodontics
Aims of Orthodontic Treatment
Ø should not only satisfy patient’s esthetics desires but also certain functional & physiologic requirements
Ø Jackson Triad
ü Functional Efficiency
ü Structural Balance
ü Esthetic Harmony
ü teeth along with their
surrounding structures are required to perform
certain important functions
Functional Efficiency
treatment should increase efficiency of the function performed by stomatognathic system
Functional Efficiency
structures affected by
treatment include, not
only teeth but also
surrounding soft tissue
envelop & associated
skeletal structures
Structural Balance
ü treatment should maintain
a balance between
these structures
Structural Balance
correction of should not
be detrimental to the
health of another
Structural Balance
treatment should increase overall esthetic appeal
Esthetic Harmony
may require:
§ alignment of teeth
§ forward movement of
complete jaw including
its basal bone
Esthetic Harmony
Scope of Orthodontics
Ø (1) Moving teeth
Ø (2) Orthopedic change
Ø (3) Altering soft tissue envelop
ü without deleterious
effects into more ideal
locations
Moving teeth
ü use of functional appliances
ü possible to move entire jaws into favorable positions
Orthopedic Change
Orthodontist can help
retain or restrain soft
tissues & bring about
a change in them:
§ by altering position
of teeth & jaws
Altering Soft Tissue Envelop
Scope of Orthodontics
Ø directed to ___________
Ø _____________ of the complex of craniofacial bones
malocclusion
abnormal growth
