Book Overbite Correction and Smile Esthetics

Download or read book Overbite Correction and Smile Esthetics written by Shannon Michelle Lewis and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Achievement of optimum smile esthetics during orthodontic treatment has recently been the focus of several published articles in the orthodontic literature. Authors speculate that overbite correction, specifically maxillary incisor intrusion, will lead to flattening of the smile arc and consequently reduce smile attractiveness. The purpose of this prospective clinical study was to investigate differences in outcomes from two common treatment modalities used to reduce deep overbite: maxillary incisor intrusion using an intrusion arch and posterior tooth eruption using an anterior bite plate. Pre-treatment and post-overbite correction records were gathered from 20 patients who presented with deep overbite malocclusions to the Virginia Commonwealth University orthodontic clinic. Both the intrusion arch and bite plate treatment modalities effectively reduced overbite significantly over a relatively short period of treatment. Intrusion arch patients displayed significant reductions in maxillary incisor display (lip to tooth) accompanying documented incisor intrusion. Half of the patients in both groups experienced flattening of the smile arc in agreement with previous studies showing similar changes in orthodontic patients in general. There was no greater tendency for flattening to occur in either group. Changes in the smile arc are likely due to other factors involved in orthodontic tooth alignment and are not necessarily attributable to the overbite correction method employed during treatment.

Download or read book Open Bite Malocclusion written by Guilherme Janson and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-10-29 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Open-Bite Malocclusion: Treatment and Stability presents the etiology, treatment, and its stability of anterior open bite malocclusion in the early, mixed, and permanent dentitions. Special emphasis is devoted to orthodontic treatment and its stability in the permanent dentition because this is the time when treatment of open bite presents greater relapse. Appropriate for clinicians, orthodontic residents, and dental students, Open-Bite Malocclusion covers the most simple treatment approaches to the most complex, from orthodontic devices to tooth extraction to surgery. Unique to this book is the discussion of post-treatment stability. Drs. Janson and Valarelli highlight the post-treatment changes and presents strategies to increase treatment stability. This allows the clinician to be able to predict the stability probabilities when treating anterior open bite malocclusions in the permanent dentition either with or without extraction, orthodontic-surgical therapy, or with occlusal adjustment.

Book The Stability of the Curve of Spee and the Overbite After Orthodontic Treatment

Download or read book The Stability of the Curve of Spee and the Overbite After Orthodontic Treatment written by Johannes Hattingh and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of orthodontic treatment is to provide the patient with a good static and functional occlusion. During research that was conducted to complete a seminar on the static and functional aspects of occlusion, the author discovered that there might be a discrepancy between the goals of an ideal static occlusion, and the goals of an ideal functional occlusion. An ideal static occlusion seemed to require a flat mandibular plane and a minimal amount of overbite after active orthodontic treatment, whereas an ideal functional occlusion required a curved mandibular plane and an overbite of 4 mm to prevent cusp interferences during functional mandibular movements. The rationale behind the excessively flat mandibular plane and minimal overbite after orthodontic treatment is to compensate for the tendency of the bite to deepen during the period following orthodontic treatment. This tendency to relapse causes uncertainty about the stability of orthodontic treatment. Little research has been dedicated to examining the long-term stability of the leveled curve of Spee. In addition, there seems to be a considerable amount of controversy surrounding the long-term stability of overbite correction after orthodontic treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the stability of the curve of Spee and the overbite following orthodontic treatment. In addition, the relationship between the curve of Spee and the presence of anterior guidance after a period of orthodontic retention, was examined. The relationship between the overbite and the presence of anterior guidance was also examined, and the results were used to predict an ideal value for the overbite to avoid possible dental cusp interferences. Standardized digital photographs of the dental casts of 40 subjects were taken at three different stages: before treatment (T1), after orthodontic treatment (T2), and three years (mean) post-treatment. Accurate electronic measurement of the curve of Spee, using computer software, was completed for all three stages. The overbite was measured with a dial caliper. Clinical evaluation of the functional occlusion, with special reference to anterior guidance, was performed on all the subjects. Statistical analysis was carried out in search of statistical significant changes between the various stages, and possible correlations between the different variables. The results indicated that the leveling of the curve of Spee is a stable treatment procedure. The overbite was less stable than the curve of Spee, and nearly half the amount of overbite correction obtained during treatment, relapsed in the three years (mean) post-treatment. No relationship was found between the curve of Spee and the presence of anterior guidance at T3. A highly significant relationship was found between the overbite and the presence of anterior guidance. Subjects with a small overbite seemed to be predisposed to posterior interferences during mandibular protrusion. An overbite of not less than 3mm was found to be a desirable feature after orthodontic retention in order to reduce potentially interfering contacts. More research is necessary to clarify the relationship between dental interferences and temporomandibular disorders (TMD).

Book Overbite Correction and Smile Esthetics

Download or read book Overbite Correction and Smile Esthetics written by Sherif Nebil Elhady and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this prospective clinical study was to investigate differences in outcomes from two common treatment modalities used to reduce deep overbite: maxillary incisor intrusion using an intrusion arch and posterior tooth eruption using an anterior bite plate and to assess their influence on smile esthetics. Pre-treatment and post-overbite correction records were gathered from 40 patients with deep overbite malocclusions at the Virginia Commonwealth University orthodontic clinic. Intrusion arch patients displayed significant reductions in maxillary incisor display accompanying documented incisor intrusion. Bite plate patients showed significant lower incisor intrusion and increases in the mandibular plane angle. When compared to the bite plate group, there was a greater tendency for flattening of the smile arc seen in the intrusion arch group. Changes in the smile arc were likely partially a result of the mechanics used but may also have been due to other factors involved in orthodontic tooth alignment.

Book Orthodontic Intrusion   Implants Vs Utility Arches

Download or read book Orthodontic Intrusion Implants Vs Utility Arches written by Farhat Godhrawala and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deep-bite is a common component of malocclusion in adults and children. The most commonly used technique for incisor intrusion is the utility arch technique given by Dr Ricketts. In recent times mini-implants are used as anchorage units in orthodontics to bring about tooth movement. The aim of this in-vivo study was to analyze the skeletodental changes occurring during deep overbite correction with mini-implant anchorage system and the utility arches reinforced by a transpalatal arch. From the results our study, we can conclude that the mini-implant technique for true incisor intrusion can be considered superior to the conventional utility arches. Vertical height of molars does not change much with implants and utility arches reinforced by a transpalatal arch. Change in incisor inclination is not seen with mini-implants but significant change in the incisor inclination is seen with the utility arches. Very few studies give a direct comparison between the effects of different types of incisor intrusion mechanics. This study can help orthodontists get a clearer perspective on the subject of incisor intrusion.
