    if you are intersted in this article please follow for more readings https://myorthodonticsblogg.blogspot.com/     👈🏻 Assessing the complexity of orthodontic cases is a critical step in ensuring successful aligner treatments. By identifying potential challenges early, dentists can set realistic expectations, minimize refinements, and improve patient satisfaction. This blog explores a systematic approach to evaluating case complexity, treatment predictability, and contraindications for clear aligners. Why Assess Case Complexity? Aligners excel in certain orthodontic corrections but are less predictable for complex movements. A thorough assessment helps: Identify refinement potential  – Plan for additional aligner sets if needed. Optimize treatment plans  – Overengineer movements prone to undercorrection. Avoid unpredictable outcomes  – Modify plans to prioritize achievable results. Enhance patient communication  – Align expectations with...

Deep overbite malocclusion: Analysis of the underlying components (summary)

-

 




This study aimed to analyze the various skeletal and dental components of deep bite malocclusion and their contributions to the problem. The researchers conducted a thorough analysis of all deep bite components to lead to more individualized treatment planning and mechanotherapy. The study found that an exaggerated curve of Spee and a decreased gonial angle were the greatest contributing components to deep bite malocclusion. The study analyzed 60 patients with deep bite malocclusion, and their cephalometric radiographs were used to measure the skeletal and dental components. The researchers measured the gonial angle, mandibular plane angle, maxillary and mandibular incisor inclinations, overbite, overjet, and curve of Spee. The results showed that the gonial angle was the highest contributing skeletal factor to a deep bite, and the exaggerated curve of Spee had the highest contributing dental component. The study also found that the lingual inclinations of the maxillary and mandibular incisors were among the least shared components. The authors suggest that a thorough analysis of all deep bite components can lead to more individualized treatment planning and mechanotherapy. The study's findings have significant implications for clinicians designing individualized mechanotherapies based on the underlying cause of the malocclusion. The authors suggest that clinicians should consider the specific skeletal and dental components contributing to the deep bite malocclusion when designing treatment plans. The study's results also highlight the importance of early intervention in deep bite malocclusion. The authors suggest that early intervention can prevent the development of more severe malocclusions and reduce the need for more invasive treatments later in life. In conclusion, this study provides valuable insights into the various components of deep bite malocclusion and their contributions to the problem. The findings can help clinicians design more effective treatment plans and improve patient outcomes. The study highlights the importance of early intervention in deep bite malocclusion to prevent the development of more severe malocclusions and reduce the need for more invasive treatments later in life. The study's results also emphasize the need for a thorough analysis of all deep bite components to lead to more individualized treatment planning and mechanotherapy. Overall, this study contributes to the understanding of deep bite malocclusion and can guide clinicians in providing better care for their patients.

  if you are intersted in this article please follow for more readings https://myorthodonticsblogg.blogspot.com/       👈🏻 Arch sequencing depends on : 1-   Archwire Types 2-   Archwire Functions 3-   Archwire Sequencing according to cases (where different situations requires sequences ) 4-   Pain associated with Archwire placement and activation  INTRODUCTION        A successful orthodontic therapy depends not only on manual skills and knowledge of treatment steps but also on knowledge and choice of materials used. 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...

To Angle’s Classification It is when the buccal groove of the 1 st Mandibular molar occludes distal to mesio-buccal cusp of 1 st maxillary molar with retroclination of maxillary central incisors. Acc. To British Standards classification (Incisor relationship) The lower incisors edgs occlude posteriorly to the   cingulum plateau of the upper incisors &   the lower centrals are retruded (due to lack of stops) Sub-types Type A : Maxillary centrals and      laterals are retroclined. Type B : Maxillary Laterals overlapping the retroclined centrals . Type C : Maxillary centrals and laterals areretroclined and are overlapped by max. canines.   Criteria Extra Oral features : - Shape of head : Brachycephalic - Facial Profile : Convex...

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...
