     if you are intersted in this article please follow for more readings https://myorthodonticsblogg.blogspot.com/ In this Article many questions have been answered .. 1- What are the advantages of using orthodontic aligners over traditional braces? 2-How do orthodontic offices incorporate aligners into their treatment plans? 3- what is shape-memory sheet (ClearX)? 4-Are there any limitations or drawbacks to using aligners for orthodontic treatment? Orthodontic aligners have several advantages over traditional braces, including: 1. Aesthetics: Aligners are virtually invisible, making them a popular choice for adults and teenagers who are self-conscious about their appearance. Unlike traditional braces, which use metal brackets and wires, aligners are made of clear plastic and are custom-fitted to the patient's teeth. 2. Comfort: Aligners are made of smooth, comfortable plastic that does not irritate the gums or cheeks. Unlike traditional braces, which can cause discomfort an

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.

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 as their working sequence according to the treatment plan.   1-   Archwire Types:

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 / Straight - Chin : prominent - Lower lip : Everted (lower
