**[Growth and orthodontics - 2.3]** Neurocranium and viscerocranium  **Changes in shape of the head** - - **Changes in skeletal pattern** - - - - Bjork - - **Bone growth in the jaw** **Calcification** Endochondral = replacement of cartilage - - Intramembranous = periosteal remodelling at surface at sutures - Surface remodelling - eg: mandible Cartilaginous - eg: mandibular condyle Synchondrosis - eg: cranial base **Growth of the mandible** - - - Periosteal /sutural growth can be influenced by pressure and tension (similar to periosteal remodelling in response to orthodontic forces) **Control of growth** - - - Tanner growth curves - used to monitor stature which parallels facial growth **Velocity of growth in stature** - - - - - - **Predicting changes in skeletal pattern** - - - - - - - Headgear / functionals: - - - - **Clinical significance of growth in orthodontics** - - - - -
