1. LECTURE 1 ORTHODONTICS AN INTRODUCTION

2. ORTHODONTICS = ORTHOS + DONTOS (STRAIGHT) (TEETH) ORIGIN OF THE WORD: GREEK OLDEST BRANCH IN DENTISTRY WHICH DEALS WITH CORRECTION OF VARIOUS SKELETAL AND DENTAL MALOCCLUSIONS. THE MEANING!…

3. Definition The area of dentistry concerned with the supervision , guidance and correction of the growing and mature dentofacial structures, including those conditions that require a. M ovement of teeth or correction of mal relationships and malformations of related structures b. by the adjustment of relationships between and among teeth and facial bones c. by the application of forces and/or the stimulation and redirection of the functional forces within the craniofacial complex.’ American Association of Orthodontist

5. BRANCHES IN ORTHODONTICS 15% 77% 5% 3% PREVENTIVE ORTHODONTICS B. INTERCEPTIVE ORTHODONTICS C. CORRECTIVE ORTHODONTICS D. SURGICAL ORTHODONTICS

6. A. PREVENTIVE ORTHODONTICS 15% 77% 5% 3% The branch of orthodontics which deals with prevention of malocclusion at an early stage of craniofacial development. Actions undertaken to preserve the integrity of what appears to be normal at the specific point of time. Examples: Habit breakers Maintaining proper tooth form Correcting abnormal oral postures Space maintainer

7. A. PREVENTIVE ORTHODONTICS MAINTAINING OPTIMUM M- D HABIT BREAKER (PALATAL CRIB) WIDTH ABNORMAL POSTURES

8. B.INTERCEPTIVE ORTHODONTICS 15% 77% The phase of art and science of orthodontics, employed to recognize and eliminate potential irregularities and malpositions in the developing dentofacial complex. Concentrates towards improving environmental conditions to permit future normal development. The malocclusion has already developed or developing Examples: Space regainers Serial Extractions

9. B. INTERCEPTIVE ORTHODONTICS SPACE REGAINER SERIAL EXTRACTION

10. C. CORRECTIVE ORTHODONTICS 15% 77% 5% 3% Correction of already established malocclusion which cannot be treated with preventive and interceptive modalities. Full mouth braces O rthodontic appliances

11. CORRECTIVE ORTHODONTICS FIXED ORTHODONTIC APPLIANCE FUNCTIONAL APPLIANCE

12. D. SURGICAL ORTHODONTICS 15% 77% 5% 3% Malocclusion cases which are too severe to be treated with orthodontic braces alone. Phase s of surgical orthodontics: 1. pre- surgical orthodontics 2. orthographic /orthognathic surgery 3. post surgical orthodontics. Takes longer duration of time.

13. D. SURGICAL ORTHODONTICS

14. AIMS OF ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT FUNCTIONAL EFFICIENCY: Orthodontic should increase the efficiency of performed by the stomatognathic treatment functions system. STRUCTURAL BALANCE: The treatment should maintain a balance between the teeth and its associated structures and hence correction of one should not be detrimental to the another. ESTHETIC HARMONY: The orthodontic treatment should enhance the overall esthetic appeal of the individual.
