Orthodontic aligners treatment: Designing Problems

-
  Design 1 1. Segmentation Problems : The treatment plan exhibited significant segmentation issues. 2. Alignment & Leveling Woes : There were noticeable problems with the alignment and leveling of the upper anterior teeth. This was particularly evident in both the occlusal and submento-vertex views, indicating a need for better planning and execution. 3. Inadequate Arch Shape : The arch shape deviated from the ideal U-shape, which could negatively impact the patient's bite and overall function. This aspect requires immediate attention to ensure proper occlusion. 4. Attachment Issues : The positioning and thickness of attachments were inadequate, particularly on the upper left canine, where the doctor specifically requested no attachment placement. This could lead to ineffective tooth movement and discomfort for the patient. 5. Class III Elastic Mismanagement : The use of Class III elastics on the left side for over three months was a significant oversight. This prolonged applic...

Treatment Plan Overview: Stages of Orthodontic Intervention

-
  Treatment Plan Overview: Stages of Orthodontic Intervention Stage 1: Intrusion and Rotation of Posterior Teeth In this initial stage, the primary focus is on intruding and rotating the posterior teeth . The thickness of the aligners plays a crucial role in facilitating this intrusion also by inducing a minor intrusion movement . According to jaw geometry, 1 mm of intrusion in the posterior teeth can lead to approximately 2 mm of closure of an anterior open bite . This is significant because it helps address the open bite by effectively repositioning the posterior teeth, which in turn influences the anterior occlusion. Justification: • The intrusion of posterior teeth is essential for correcting the anterior open bite, as it helps to realign the occlusal plane and improve overall dental aesthetics. Stage 2: Relief of Crowding and Alignment of Anterior Teeth The second stage involves relieving crowding and leveling the anterior teeth . Given that pure mesiodistal movement is not fe...

One of the major components of fixed orthodontic therapy is the choice of wires. Orthodontic wires are defined as devices comprising a wire conforming to the alveolar or dental arch, which is used as an anchorage for correcting irregularities in the position of teeth . Therefore, the aim of the this assignment   was to focus on the differences in the features of wires as well a...

The Concept of the Straight Wire Appliance in Orthodontics

  if you are intersted in this article please follow for more readings https://myorthodonticsblogg.blogspot.com/        👈🏻 The occlusion research (study of the non-orthodontic normals) had been launched to get a better understanding of occlusion and how it was related to the buccolabial surfaces of the crowns. There was no intention originally to produce a new appliance, but the need for one became evident.       The arising concept was to Pre-program suitable treatment into the appliance and therefore the SWA was developed. The built-in features of the SWA guide the teeth along direct vector lines, eliminating jiggling, round-tripping and other excessive movements. Andrews’s philosophy of treatment     A bracket type for each tooth type:       Since within any dentition, teeth differ from each other, therefore, each tooth would require its own bracket.    Measurements of the non-orthodo...
