Ortho Lec Quiz Part 2 : anchorage Flashcards
Refers to the nature and degree of
resistance to displacement offered by
an anatomic unit when used for the
purpose of effecting tooth movement
Anchorage
It is the resistance to unwanted tooth
movement
Anchorage
Parts of an Orthodontic
Appliance
- Active elements
- Resistance elements
PART OF ORTHODONTICS APPLIANCE
It is concerned with tooth movements
Active element
PARTS OF ORTHODONTIC APPLIANCE
Provide the resistance (anchorage) that makes the tooth movements possible.
Resistance elements
For every action, there is an equal and
opposite reaction
Newton’s law
3 Classification of Anchorage:
According to the Manner of Force
Application
- Simple Anchorage
- Stationary Anchorage
- Reciprocal anchorage
Resistance to tipping, meaning, the tooth is free to tip during movement.
Simple Anchorage
Resistance to bodily movement,
meaning, the tooth is permitted to
translate only
Stationary Anchorage
Two or more teeth moving in opposite directions and pitted against each other by the appliance. Both resistance units are malposed and the dissipation of the equal and opposite forces tends to move each unit toward a more normal occlusion
Reciprocal anchorage
Classification of anchorage According to the jaws involved
- Intra-maxillary
- Intermaxillary
Anchorage established in the same jaw.
Intra-maxillary
Anchorage distributed to both jaws.
Intermaxillary
Classification of Anchorage: According to the site of anchorage
- Intra-oral
- Extra-oral
Anchorage established within the mouth, utilizing the teeth, mucosa or other intra - oral structures.
Intra-oral
