Ortho Flashcards
Purpose of study models
tx planning
pt motivators
secondary opinion
checking person’s occlusion
ortho design for removable appliance
Advantages of URA
tipping teeth
excellent anchorage
OH easier to maintain
cheaper than fixed
shoter chairside time
less specialised training to manage
easily adapted for ob reduction
achieve block movements
non destructive to tooth structure
Disadvatanges of URA
less precise control of tooth movement
easily removed by the patient
1-2teeth moved at one time
specialist staff to construct
rotations difficultt to correct
Active componenet
What actually moves the tooth
Retention
components that are resistant to displacement forces
Anchorage
resistance to unwanted tooth movement
Baseplate
self cured PMMA
connector, retention, anchorage
S.S wire composed of
iron - 72%
chromium - 18%
nickel - 8%
titanium - 1.7%
carbon - 0.3%
Fitting a URA
ensure pt details match details of appliance
check appliance matches design specification
run finger over fitting surface looking for sharp areas
check integrity of wirework
insert appliance and look for areas of blanching
check posterior retention - flyover then arrowheads
apply same principle to anterior retention
activate appliance
Patient info and instructions
appliance will feel big and bulky
may cause initial excessive salivation
may impinge on speech for short period
initial pain or discomfort
wear 24/7 including mealtimes
remove applaiance when participatating in contact sports
avoid hard and sticky foods
mention about non compliance and lengthening tx
provide emergency contact details
How does a flat anterior bite plane work?
it works to decrease the pt overbite
it increases the vertical dimension allowing overeruption of posteriors and raises bite
OJ + 3mm = so lowers don’t stop behind bite plane causing trauma and retroclining them
Flat posterior bite plane
will disengage the bite allowing teeth to move forward
Tubing and sheathing do for certain active componenets
gives componenets stability and rigidity
Types of ortho movement
tipping
extrusion
rotation
torque
bodily movement
intrusion
Andrews 6 keys
tight approximal contacts with no rotations
class1 incisors
class 1 molars
flat occlusal plane or slight curve of spee
long axis of teeth have slight mesial inclination
crowns of canines back to molars have lingual inclination
Useages of fixed appliances
correction of mold to moderate skeletal discrepancies
alignment of teeth
correct centrelines
OB and Oj reduction
closure or creating spaces
correction of rotations
vertical movements of teeth
Advantages of fixed appliances
moves multiple teeth
pt cannot remove the appliance
precise movement
not too bulkly and invasive
can rotate teeth
bodily move teeth through bone
Disadvatanges of fixed appliances
poor oh
soft tissue trauma
relapse
resoprtion
expensive
less anchorage
etch can damage teeth
needs specalist training to fit
When is relapse potention high
diastemas
ectopic canines
AOB
proclination of lower incisors
Problems with fixed appliances
decalcification around brackets
root resorption - mostly intrusion movements
teeth become non vital
trauma from headgear
Extra oral anchorage
headgear - head cap with intra oral bow attached to fixed or removable appliance
200-250g for 10-12hrs wear
Transpalatal Arch
0.9mm HSSW - attached to first molars
anchorage
rotation
Palatal arch with nance button
0.9mm HSSW attached to 1st molars
anchorage
(difficult to clean underneath and can lead to erythematous candidosis)
Quadhelix appliance
0.9mm HSSW
bilateral expansion
habit breaker
asymmetrical expansion
fan style expansion
rotation of molars
expansion in cleft palate
modified to procline incisors
Class 2 div 1
lower incisors lie posterior to the cingulum pleatu of the upper incisors
Increased overjet and upper centrals proclined or average
Why treat class 2 div 1
aesthetics
dental health - trauma from overjet
Skeletal pattern of class 2 div 1
class II anterior posterior pattern (retroganthic mandible, the mandible is further back
Soft tissues of class II div 1
incompotent lips due to prominence of incisors and underlying skeletal pattern
Dental factors of class 2 div 1
OJ - either crowding or spacing present
lack of spcae on uppers can exacerabte OJ
lack of space on lowers compensate OJ
Habits of class 2 div 1
sucking habits - proclinatin of upper incisors, retroclination of lower inciosrs, AOB, narrow upper arch and unilateral postirior crossbite
Erly treatment options for class 2 div 1
accept and await development (mouthguard for sports)
Growth modifcation - functional or headgear
URA to tip back upper incisors (mild only)
Treatment options for class 2 div 1 - class 1 or mild skeletal 2 pattern
accept
growth modifcation
camouflage
Class 2 div 1 - moderate to severe skeletal class 2 pattern
accept
growth modifcation
camouflage
surgery when growth complete
when is growth complete in females
16 years
when is growth complete in males
18 years
Headgear
restrain growth of maxially both horizontally and vertically using elastics - no change in lowers
Functinonal appliances
Restrain maxilla and encourage mandibular growth (twin block)
Tooth growth not growth modifcation - distal movement of upper dentition and retrocline of upper incisors, mesial movement of lower incisors and proclination of lower incisors
Camouflage
jaw pattern not changed but teeth move
Used for mild or moderate discrepancy
if used for severe can flatten face and poor appearance
Class 2 div 2
The lower incisor edges lie posterior to the cingulum plaetu of the upper incisors
upper centrals are retroclines
OJ minimal or can be increased
Skeletal pattern for class 2 div 2
mild to moderate skeletal class 2 A/P
promienent chin (progenia)
FMPA reduced and downward growthh of mandible
Soft tissues for class 2 div 2
<LAFH - lower lip higher in relation to crown of upper incisors and will retrocline the upper incisors (high lower lip line)
Dental features of class 2 div 2
retroclined centrals and upper 2’s being crowded due to incisors being retroclined
increased overbite
Traumatic occlusion
Ectopic canines sometimes
Why treat class 2 div 2
aethetics
dental health - traumatic overbite
Treatment options for class 2 div 2
accept
Attempt growth modification - functional appliance - convert from class 2 div 2 to class 2 div 1 to increase OJ for functioal appliance
Camouflage
Allign upper only - risk of relapse high and fixed retainer required
Orthognathic surgery - growth has to be complete and severe skeletal discrepanncy
Prognosis of class 2 div 2
difficult to treat due to facial growth
Deep bite and rotated laterals likely to relapse so retention is required
Benefits of ortho
improves function
improves appearance
inproves dental health
reduces risk of trauma
Risks of ortho
Declacificaiton
Relaspe
Root resorption
loss of tooth vitality
Loss of perio support
toothwear
soft tissue trauma
allergy
ulceration
Headgear trauma
Risk factors for root resorption
tooth movement - prolonged, high force, torque, large movements, intrusion
Previous trauma
Nail biting
Root form - blunt, pipette, resorbed already
Benefits of hawley retainer
removable so OH good
incorporates all teeth
strong
allows occlusal setting
minor tooth movement
Disadvantages of hawley retainer
removable so pt not complinant
speech issues
aethetics
expensive and time consuming to make
invasive on tongue space
Benefits of thermoplastic retainer
aesthetics
less invasive
cheap
all teeth incorporated
OH good
easier to make
slight tooth movement if needed
Disadvantages of thermoplastic retainer
non resilant
does not allow occlusal setting
compliance
easily lost
disorted with heat
Benefits of fixed bonded retatainer
compliance as fixed
aesthetics
non invasive
done chairside
cheap
Disadvatnages of fixed bonded retainer
does not incorpate all teeth
OH probs
etching damages teeth
easily fail adn debond
What are fixed bonded retainers good for
diastemas
rotations
Class 3 malocclusion
lower incisor edge occludes anterior to the cingulum plaetu of the uppers
OJ i reduced or reversed
Why do you treat class 3
aesthetics
function and speech
traumatic occlusion
TMD
ging recession
Class 3 skeletal features
anterior/posterior - occur in class 1, 2 or 3 skeletal base
vertical - increased FMPA and AOB
transverse - may be bilateral crossbites due to maxiallart deficinency, lowers may be more buccally placed than uppers
Class 3 soft tissues
natural attemps at compensation or camouflage
uppers proclined and lowers retroclined
tongue proclines uppers
lips retrocline lowers
Class 3 enviornmental factors
cleft lip and palate
acromegagly - disorder of pituarty gland so increased growth hormone causing enlargement in mandible
Early mixed dentition tx for class3
upper centrals develop palatally to A’s
if A fails to exfoliate can leave central behind lower incisors
premature contact on central incisors
Use URA to treat
Late mixed dentition tc for class 3
growth modifcation - functional (Frankel III or reverse twin block or protraction headgear with maxiallry expansion)
Early permanent dentition tx for class 3
camouflage - produce class 1 incisors - XLA lower 4’s and upper 5’s
Ortho and orthgnathic surgery for class 3
moderate to severe class 3 with severe vertical discrepancy
1) decompensate the incisors and make reverse OJ worse
2) UI/MxP = 104 degrees, LI/MnP = 90 degrees pre treatment
3) surgery to reposition jaws
4) post surgical ortho
