Biomechanics of orthodontic correction of dental asymmetries.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Correction of dental asymmetries requires special attention in orthodontic treatment. Several types of asymmetries are described, along with the biomechanics needed for correction. Treatment with different appliance designs that correct these asymmetries with the lowest level of negative contribution from side effects will be compared with conventional treatment.

Frequency of dentofacial asymmetries: a cross-sectional study on orthodontic patients.
BACKGROUND Correction of orthodontic asymmetries is crucial to achieve functional occlusion, aesthetics and stability of post orthodontic treatment results. To date valid frequency data of dentofacial asymmetries in Pakistani orthodontic patients do not exist to document orthodontic treatment need. The objectives of this study were to determine frequency of dento-facial asymmetries, severity of...
متن کاملCorrection of dental Class III with posterior open bite by simple biomechanics using an anterior C-tube miniplate
In the correction of dental Class III molar relationship in skeletal Class II patients, uprighting of the mandibular posterior segments without opening the mandible is an important treatment objective. In the case reported herein, a C-tube miniplate fixed to the lower labial symphysis and connected with a nickel-titanium reverse-curved archwire provided effective uprighting of the lower molars,...
متن کاملCorrection of severe tooth rotation by using two different orthodontic appliances: Report of two cases
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Severe rotation of tooth is one of the most common problems in orthodontics and considered as a developmental phenomenon. These rotations can cause cosmetic problems, gingival recession, and traumatic occlusion. By using removable appliances, severe rotations can be treated. Furthermore, gingival damage, tooth attrition, and transposition of other teeth could be prevented. E...
متن کاملDentofacial Asymmetries: Challenging Diagnosis and Treatment Planning
Dentofacial asymmetry is quite common and when sufficiently severe can require surgical orthodontic intervention. Asymmetries can be classified according to the structures involved into skeletal, dental and functional. In diagnosing asymmetries, a thorough clinical examination and radiographic survey are essential to determine the extent of soft tissue, skeletal, dental and functional involveme...
متن کاملA review of the requirements and hazards of toxic metals from orthodontic wires
Background: Orthodontics is a part of dentistry that includes preventive methods and correction of dental irregularities that need to be repositioned by functional and mechanical tools to provide an ideal occlusion and a beautiful face for patients. There are currently four metal arch wires used in orthodontic treatment: stainless steel alloy, cobalt-chromium alloy, nickel-titanium alloy, and b...
