Aims of Orthodontics

The goal of orthodontics is to achieve proper alignment and function of the teeth and jaws, leading to a balanced and harmonious smile.

Malocclusion

Malocclusion refers to any deviation from the ideal alignment of teeth and jaws.

Preventive Orthodontics

Preventive Orthodontics aims to prevent future orthodontic problems by addressing factors like early tooth loss or bad habits.

Interceptive Orthodontics

Interceptive Orthodontics focuses on early intervention to guide tooth eruption and jaw growth, minimizing the need for extensive corrective treatments later.

Corrective Orthodontics

Corrective Orthodontics addresses existing malocclusions by using braces or other appliances to move teeth and align the jaws.

Study Notes

Aims of Orthodontics

  • Functional efficiency: Focuses on the function of mastication and the harmonious relationship between the teeth and surrounding structures.
  • Structural balance: Prioritizes proper relationship between teeth and the supporting skeletal structures.
  • Esthetic harmony: Aims for an aesthetically pleasing smile.

Branches of Orthodontics

  • Preventive orthodontics: Aims to prevent the development of malocclusions.
  • Interceptive orthodontics: Used to address developing malocclusions at an early stage.
  • Corrective orthodontics: Used to treat malocclusions after they have developed.

Timing of Orthodontic Intervention

  • Deciduous Dentition: Parental education, care for deciduous dentition, space maintenance, and elimination of abnormal oral habits.
  • Early Mixed Dentition: Monitoring of shedding timetable, serial extraction, space maintenance, and growth modification
  • Late Mixed Dentition/Early Permanent Dentition: Most corrective orthodontic treatments, growth modification, and surgical treatment

Classification of Malocclusion

  • Intra-arch malocclusions: Problems with the arrangement of teeth within the same dental arch.
    • Rotation, Transposition, Infra/Supra version, Abnormal Position, Buccal Displacement, Lingual Displacement, Buccal Inclination, Lingual Inclination, Mesial Displacement, Distal Displacement, Mesial Inclination, Distal Inclination. 
  • Inter-arch malocclusions: Problems with the relationship between the upper and lower dental arches.
    • Sagittal Plane Malocclusions, Vertical Plane Malocclusions, Transverse Plane Malocclusions.

Incisor, Canine, and Molar Relationships

  • These classifications describe the relationship of the upper and lower teeth (incisors, canines, and molars). Types include Class I, II, and III relationships for each category of teeth.

Angle's Classification of Malocclusion

  • A classification system for classifying malocclusion according to the relationship of the first permanent molars.
  • Class I, II, and III relationships.

Malocclusion

  • Malocclusion is a condition where the teeth in the same dental arch or teeth in opposing arches deviate from a normal alignment.
  • Introduced by Guiford (1889)
  • Malpositioning of individual teeth, malrelation of arches. Skeletal morphology is one cause.

Malpositions of Individual Teeth

  • Lischer used the suffix "version" to specify the malposition in relation to the line of occlusion.
    • Mesioversion: Mesial to the normal position
      • Mesial inclination: Crown tilted mesially.
      • Mesial displacement: Tooth moved mesially.
    • Distoversion: Distal to the normal position
    • Linguoversion: Lingual to the normal position
    • Labioversion/buccoversion: Toward the lip/cheek
    • Infraversion: Away from the line of occlusion (below)
    • Supraversion: Extended beyond (above or below) occlusal plane
      • Torsoversion: Rotated on its long axis (e.g., mesiolingual rotation)
      • Transversion: Incorrect tooth order.
      • Imbrication: Irregular tooth placement due to lack of space.

Malrelations of Dental Arcs

  • Anteroposterior: Postnormal (lower arch too far back), Prenormal (lower arch too far forward).
  • Lateral: Crossbites. Unilateral or Bilateral. Etiology includes soft tissue or skeletal discrepancies.
  • Vertical: Excessive overbite or open bite.
    • Excessive overbite factors: Abnormal axial inclination, abnormal dental base relationship.
    • Open bite causes: Abnormal soft tissue behavior, abnormal skeletal pattern, cleft palate.

Skeletal Pattern

  • Skeletal Class I: Normal relationship between the jaws.
  • Skeletal Class II: Mandibular arch is posterior to the maxillary arch.
  • Skeletal Class III: Mandibular arch is anterior to the maxillary arch.

Pseudo Class III Malocclusion

  • Molar relationship of Class III, habit-related.
    • Differentiating elements between true and pseudo Class III malocclusion: Profile, etiology, presence of premature contacts, direction of the path of closure, gonial angle, possibility of mandible retrusion further, treatment method, effects of leaving untreated.
