Introduction
• Orthodontics – Area of specialty dealing with the
recognition, prevention, and treatment of malalignment and irregularities of the teeth, jaws, and face
3
The Orthodontic Practice
• Orthodontic office
• Orthodontic team– Orthodontist– Reception and business office staff– Office coordinator– Laboratory technician– Orthodontic assistant
4
Occlusion and Malocclusion
• Normal (ideal) occlusion describes the contact relationship of the mandibular arch with the maxillary arch.– Mandibular teeth are in maximum contact
with maxillary teeth and spaced normally
5
Occlusion and Malocclusion
• Normal (ideal) occlusion – Maxillary anterior teeth overlap incisal
edge of mandibular anterior teeth by 2 mm– Maxillary posterior teeth are one cusp
distal to mandibular posterior teeth
7
Occlusion and Malocclusion
• Malocclusion: – Any deviation from normal occlusion– Includes misalignment of a single tooth, a
group of teeth, or an entire arch
8
Angle’s Classification
• Neutroclusion– Cusp of the maxillary cuspid (canine)
occludes between the distal of the mandibular cuspid and the mesial of the mandibular first bicuspid
9
Angle’s Classification
• Distoclusion– Cusp of the maxillary cuspid (canine) is
moved forward and occludes between the distal of the mandibular lateral incisor and the mesial of the mandibular cuspid
10
Angle’s Classification
• Mesioclusion– Cusp of the maxillary cuspid (canine) is
moved back and occludes behind the mandibular cuspid and in the middle of the mandibular first molar
11
Malposition of Individual Teeth
• Torsiversion– Tooth is rotated or turned
• Mesioversion– Tooth is mesial to normal position
12
Malposition of Individual Teeth
• Distoversion– Tooth is distal to normal position
• Linguoversion– Tooth is lingual to normal position
13
Malpositions of Individual Teeth
• Labioversion or buccoversion – Tooth is tipped toward the lip or cheek
• Supraversion – Tooth extends above the normal line of
occlusion
14
Malpositions of Individual Teeth
• Infraversion– Tooth is positioned below normal line of
occlusion
• Transversion or transposition– Tooth is in the wrong order in the arch
15
Malpositions of Groups of Teeth
• Anterior cross-bite
• Posterior cross-bite
• Edge-to-edge bite
• End-to-end bite
16
Malpositions of Groups of Teeth
• Open bite
• Overjet – Horizontal overlap
• Overbite – Vertical overlap
• Underjet
18
Types of Orthodontic Treatment
• Preventive or interceptive– Placing restorations– Space maintainers– Observations
• Corrective– Fixed appliances– Removable appliances
19
Process of Tooth Movement
• Resorption– Process that eliminates tissues no longer
needed in the body, therefore allowing teeth to be moved
• Deposition– Retains teeth by creating new deposits or
cells
20
Process of Tooth Movement
• Osteoclast– Cause bone to resorb or break down
• Osteoblasts– Deposit new bone to hold tooth in new
position
21
Preorthodontic Treatment
• Diagnostic records
• Medical-dental history
• Clinical examination
• Radiographs
• Photographs
• Study models
23
The Consultation Appointment• Orthodontist presents patient with
treatment plan
• Responsibilities of patient is reviewed
• If patient accepts the treatment plan– Consent papers are signed and financial
arrangements made
24
Orthodontic Appliances
• Fixed– Orthodontic
bands– Brackets– Arch wires– Ligature wire and
plastic bags
– Buccal tubes– Springs– Elastics
