Q

How is an AOB created with a digit sucking habit?

A

The sucking action initiated by the muscular forces in the cheeks narrows the maxillary arch, causing a unilateral crossbite
The upper teeth procline and the lower teeth retrocline in response, so as to “make space” for the digit.

Q

What is BSI class II div I incisor relationship?

A

The lower incisal edge occludes behind the cingulum of the upper central incisors and the upper incisors are proclined. Increased overjet.

17
Q

What is BSI class II div II incisor relationship?

A

The lower incisal edge occludes behind the cingulum of the upper central incisors, and the upper incisors are retroclined (the lateral incisors may be proclined). Overjet is usually minimal or may be increased.

18
Q

What is the BSI incisor relationship for class III?

A

Class III - lower incisal edge occludes in front of the cingulum of the upper incisors

19
Q

What medical history would contra-indicate ortho treatment?

A

Allergy to nickel or latex - nickel allergy only a problem if they cannot hold keys/ coins

If patient has a medical condition that requires them to have regular MRI scans

20
Q

What may increased FMPA indicate?

A

Class III sk base

21
Q

What may decreased FMPA indicate?C

A

Class II sk base

22
Q

What is Molar relationship class I?

A

mesio-buccal cusp of upper 6 in buccal groove of lower 6

23
Q

What is molar full unit class II?

A

mesio-buccal cusp of upper 6 sits in front of mesio-buccal cusp of lower 6

24
Q

What is molar class III relationship?

A

mesio-buccal cusp of upper 6 occludes against disto-buccal cusp of lower 6
