Efficacy:
what something can do in a controlled environment
Space maintenance for a period of time of
6 months or more - most damage occurs in first six months. Mostly posterior teeth coming forward in upper, anterior going backwards in lower.
Nance is best for when you are missing
multiple upper teeth. Don’t use transpalatals for missing teeth on both sides of arch - they would both tip forward.
Nance are
inactive appliances.
Bilateral max constriction with CO-CR shift ⇒ Tx with
W-arch, Quad helix
Open coil
opens space - need to be compressed to be activated.
Closed coil
holds space
W-arch:
○ Reciprocal anchorage
○ W-configuration → increases wire length ( ↑ flexibility)
○ Force applied near palatal CEJ (not thru Cres)
■ Compression on facial surfaces of molars
■ 50% skeletal & 50% dental
○ Fabrication ⇒ 1rst molars to place band
○ Retention ⇒ ~ 3 months (will relapse into normal occlusion)
Quad Helix
○ Only issue may be
patient compliance → pt may bend lingual wire
Space regaining
more than 3 mm need expansion.
● Pseudo Class III
○ Class I, but interference causes CR-CO shift leading to anterior crossbite
Deep bite use
hawley and bite plate (plastic between front teeth).
Best situation for this? Trauma - palatal tissue irritation
○ Max. removable with double helical cantilever
■ Steel round wire .022
● Double helix →
increases length, thus ↑ range & springiness
○ Max. removable with double helical cantilever
■ Steel round wire .022
● If too small →
deformed by pt; if too big → heavy forces
Double helical cantilever:
● Retention via
● Force applied ——
adams clasps (Lots of retention required; many clasps)
lingually
Double helical cantilever
● No labial bow →
common feature of removables, but labial bow interferes with desired facial movement)
Max removable with double helical cantilever
■ Tx for —— months
● Activate
1-3
2 mm → gives 1 mm of movement in 1 month
○ Fixed appliance for AP bodily movement:
■ Rectangular wire
● 1° dentition w/o successors
○ Ankylosis worsens, so when extracted greater vertical defect (greater periodontal injury & attachment loss)
○ Consider early extraction
○ Elastic bandage ⇒ around elbow; only at night
■ Bulkiness reminds child; not a tight restraint
■ For 6-8 weeks
Treatment options for ankylosed 2nd 1° molars without successors:
● Maintain 1° molars (if no bony defects)
● Extraction before vertical discrepancy too great
● Decoronation - remove crown & leave root tip (facilitates vertical bone growth)
