Ortho midterm (orthodontic appliances)

describe phase 1 orthodontic appliances

Passive management and/or preservation of space

Used to distalize permanent first molars which have shifted mesially due to premature primary tooth loss

Space Regainer

T/F space maintainer my reduces or eliminate need for further orthodontic intervention

true

This appliance maintains arch length and discourges mesial drift in primary teeth

Space Maintainer

Name 3 things a paedo partial denture can help with

1. restore function/aesthetics
2. prevent malocclusions
3. Prevent speech difficulty

used for correction of deep overbite or anterior crossbite

Hawley Bite Plate

used on people less than 13 years, activated 2 times per week, 1 quarter min turn each time.

Schwartz Appliance

An appliance that helps reduce thumb sucking and improve speech

habit appliance

T/F there is no appliance available to discourage lateral tongue thrust

False- lateral tongue thrust appliance .

improves vertical growth, prevents restriction on growth of madible

Hawley Bite Plate

Used when there is maxillary constriction

palatal expansion appliances

During development when is it best to use a Hawley bite plate?

Prior to maximum growth periods when possible

orthopaedic movement AKA

bone movement

how long does it take to "awaken" the midline palatal suture in an adult?

about 3 months

T/F more force is needed when doing a palatal expansion on a child

FALE- less force is needed

when using a Schwartz appliance how many mm does it more per month?

2mm per month

how much expansion can be expected using a Banded Hyrax weekly?

1.75mm-3.5mm

This separator has occlusal pads on posterior segments & dosen't require separators

Bonded Hyrax

Gains space through anterior advancement

Maxillary sagittal appliance (removable of fixed)

what does the Maxillary sagittal appliance move?

Premaxilla

this appliance anchors on permanent molars & does NOT split palate

W expander/ quad-helix

Maintains expansion after expanding the palate- used with active treatment.

Transpalatal or lingual arch (wire)

This appliance has acrylic pads covering occlusals to open bite

maxillary sagittal appliance

Used after expanding the premaxilla with a saggital appliance- CAN be used with active treatment

Nance Holding Arch

Used for mandibular arch expansion (removable or fixed)- has limited usage

Mandibular Schwartz Appliance

this prevents molars from drifting mesially or lingually & and maintains total arech langeth

transpalatal or lingual arch

Used when extractions indicated in mixed dentition analysis or expansion

Transpalatal or lingual arch

Keeps premaxilla in new anterior position and prevents collapse

Nance holding arch

Can be used to open or close a bite, patient compliance in wearing this appliance is essential for successful improvement. Is removed for food and brushing only.

Bionator

Helps with the growth of the mand, holds or retrudes the maxilla using buccal rods

Herbst Appliance

Appliance holds mand in an anterior position, guides eruption of the teeth into a more desirable bite- Can be used to open or close a bite

Bionator

2 separate appliance that are worn on the upper and lower arches at the same time.

Twin block

Holds or retudes the maxilla while enhancing the growth of mandible (cannot be removed by patient)

MARA appliance

Corrects class 2 skeletal to class 1 sketal, eliminates, deep over bite/curve of spee & improves the health of TMJ

Rick-a-Nator

When using a twin block, where are the bite blocks on the max & mand?

MX: over the molars
Mand: Bite blocks over the bicuspids

Uses the angle of the hard palate as an anchor to distalize molars (3-6 months)

Pendulum

Advances the mandible & reduces the submental crease & improve the profile

Rick-a-nator

Eliminates the need to wear a headgear or a functional appliance- palatal expansion is not a consideration

Pendulum

This incorperates hyrax and pendulum with expansion screw for arch widening- DISTALIZES molars

Pendex

Worn for 14-16 hours/day. Treatment reverses rapidly is not worn. Cervical/regular pull: RETRUDES MAX molars. Historically poor compliance

Cervical or high-pull headgear.

treats maxillary insufficiencies & treats mandibular prognathism

Petit Class 3 Face Mask (reverse head gear)

Active treatment for a permanent dentition is known as?

Phase 2

Used for deep overbite, to open bite (to ensure Px doesnt bite lower brackets off). Helps clear an anterior cross bite, allows tooth to move freely

Bite Turbos/Pads

maintains the teeth in the correct positions and allows for growth and development of the jaws and musculature

Hawley retainer/ (Retention definition)

can be made from a small amount of composite bonding material or metal/ceramic- can be cemented

Bite Turbos Pads

where are maxillary & posterior tubros placed?

ANT: anterior teeth
Post: Mand 1st molar buccal cusp

Aligns rotated incisors, used for orthodontic relapse

Spring retainer

Aids in positioning minor malocculsions, often used in cases of relapse or to finish a case or used as a nighttime retainer to retain position in class 2 cases.

Tooth positioner

invisible retainer/fragile but comfortable and convenient

Essix retainers
