ortho anchor Flashcards
orthodontic anchorage
resistance to unwanted tooth movement
what provides orthodontic anchorage
Other teeth and the palate/head/neck/screws in bone somtimes
what is the optimal force for moving a tooth
Lightest force that produces tooth movement at a near maximum rate
what happens as you increase the PDL volume over which a reaction force is distributed relative to the tooth trying to move
Greater the relative movment
what is the ratio between PDL pressures for the movemment tooth and anchor teeth
3:1 (larger anchors are better)
what happens to the anchor if you increase force toomuch
Burning of the anchorage (makes anchorage control impossible)
what teeth make the best anchors
Larger teeth
what is the simplest anchorage
Reciprocal anchorage
what is reciprocal anchoage
movememtn of one tooth is pitted against one exactly like it or with the same anchorage value
when to use reciprocal anchorage
close maxillary diastema
what is the result of reciprocal anchorage
Movement towards each other at the same rate
what is reinforcing the anchorage
when you add more teeth to the anchor so the teeth trying to move are moved and the anchor teeth are not moved
- can include headgear outside the arch( but rarely)
what is stationary anchorage
using bodily movement on the anchor to serve as an anchor so it doesn’t really move that far
how much force to use for a stationary anchorage
Below the optimal force
how fast does cortical bone remodel compared to medullary
Cortical Remodels much slower
