USES OF HEADGEAR
Growth

modification
Anchorage augmentation
Space maintenance
Molar distalization


APPLICATIONS OF HEADGEAR
 ORTHOPAEDIC

Restriction of maxilla
 Distalization of maxilla
 Intrusion of maxilla



GROWTH MODIFICATION
 TREATMENT

OF CLASS II

 RANDOMISED

CLINICAL TRIALS OF 1990s
DATA Shows that functional appliance and
headgear both shows small but significant
improvement in jaw relationship than controls
Similar decrease in ANB

 IN

Case of 2 phase treatment headgear is
compatible with fixed appliance


SHORT FACE (SKELETAL DEEP BITE )
CLASS II
 The

additional goals are
-block eruption of incisor teeth
-control eruption of upper posterior teeth
-facilitate eruption of lower posterior teeth

This pattern of change is produced most
effectively with a functional appliance


 Cervical

headgear are used in deep bite
cases ,it differentially allow eruption of upper
first molar rather than lower
 Activator and bionator are useful in such
type of cases
 Fixed functional appliance of the Herbst type
tend to depress upper molars ,usually they
are not recommended for short face patients

Class II CHILDEREN WITH NORMAL
FACE HIEGHT
 Either

headgear or any type of functional
appliance is acceptable

 Straight

pull or high pull headgear is
preffered over cervical headgear ,to reduce
elongation of maxillary molars and better
control of mandibular plane


 Functional

appliance that minimize tooth
movement are preffered to obtain maximum
skeletal effect


Long face (skeletal open bite class II)
 Major
-

diagonostic criteria
Short ramus
Rotation of the palatal plane up posteriorly
Excessive maxillary posterior growth than
anteriorly
Downward and backward rotation of
mandible
Excessive eruption of maxillary and
mandibular teeth

 Keys

to successful growth modification would
be restraining vertical development and
encouraging anterioposterior mandibular
growth,while controlling eruption of teeth in
both jaw


HIERECHERY OF EFFECTIVENESS IN
LONG FACE CLASS II TREATMENT
 HP

headgear to functional bite blocks

 Bite

blocks on functional appliance

 High

pull headgear to maxillary splint

 High

pull headgear to molars

HIGHPULL TO
M.I.S

EFFECT ON MAXILLA
 It

should be worn 12-14 hrs day
 Current recommendation of force -12-16
ounce side (350-450gm side day


Force prescription
 Force

of 500 -1000 gm total
 Force direction slightly above the occlusal p
lane –through the centre of resistance of
molar teeth
 Force duration – at least 12 hours from early
evening until next morning
 Typical treatment duration -12 -18 months

Correction of molar relationship
 To

change end –to – end molar relation to
class I
 More the child wear the headgear is better
 14- 16 hrs day
 100 gm side
 Tooth movement 1mm month
 3 mm movement in 3 months

For anchorage reinforcement
 Ratio

of pdl between anchorage unit and
tooth moving unit is
2:1 without friction
4:1 with friction
Head gear apply backward force on upper arch
The reaction force is disspiated against the
bones of cranial vault
Problem
– intermittent force



ANCHORAGE AUGMENTATION (with intraoral
mechanics)

Closure of 1st
premolar Xn
space

By pass arch for levelling by intrusion
 High

pull headgear to the upper molars can
be added with any of bypass arch systems to
improve upper posterior anchorage


Canine retraction
 Avoid

strain on posterior teeth

 Disadvantage-

heavy and intermittent force
more friction may cause assymetric
response


 CAN

BE USED FOR DISTALIZATION OF
FIRST MOLAR AFTER SECOND MOLAR
EXTRACTION
 STRAIGHT PULL OR HIGH PULL
HEADGEAR IS INDICATED
 FORCE -300 gm side


Retention after class II MOLAR
CORRECTION
 OVER

BIOMECHANICS
 Definition

of terms

FORCE
A force is that which changes or tends to
change the position of rest of a body or its
uniform motion in straight line .




Definition of terms
CENTER OF MASS

A FREE BODY IN SPACE HAS A SINGLE
POINT WHERE ALL ITS MASS IS
CENTERED. WHEN A FORCE IS APPLIED
THROUGH THE C.O.M. IT CAUSES ALL
POINTS IN THE BODY TO MOVE THE
SAME AMOUNT IN THE SAME DIRECTION
AS THE LINE OF FORCE (TRANSLATION)

CENTER OF RESISTANCE
THE ANALOGOUS CENTER OF MASS OF A
RESTRAINED BODY e.g. A TOOTH
SUPPORTED BY ALVEOLAR BONE IS
CALLED CENTER OF RESISTANCE.



 Or
 Is

that point through which the resultant of
constraining forces acting upon it may be
considered to act
 Or a point at which resistance to movement
can be concentrated for mathematical
analysis

CENTER OR
RESISTANCE
(C Res) OF
MAXILLA

 Definition

of terms
 CENTER OF ROTATION
It is an arbitary point about which a body
appears to have rotated as determined from
its initial and final position. The center of
rotation is located at variable points
depending on how far the force is applied.


MOMENT OF A FORCE
Defined as the product of force times the
perpendicular distance from the point of force
application to the center of resistance.
Tendency to rotate resulting from a force NOT
acting at the center of resistance is called
MOMENT OF A FORCE.


MOMENT = FORCE X PERENDICULAR DISTENCE

TOOTH MOVEMENTS RESULTING FROM FORCES
NOT ACTING THROUGH THE CRes IS A
COMBINATION OF ROTATION AND TRANSLATION

 Definition

of terms

COUPLE
Two non-collinear forces equal in magnitude
and opposite in direction.
Application of a couple causes pure rotation



MOMENT OF A COUPLE
Tendency to rotate when a couple is applied.


Moment of couple= one of the forces of couple
X perendicular distance
between two parallel forces of coule


LINE OF ACTION
 Line

of action of a force is that line
connecting the point of origin of force ( head
cap or neck) to the point of attachment
( hook on outer bow.
 The resultant force acting on banded molar
tooth is the relationship of line of action to
centre of resitance of tooth


 The

line of action depend on the point of
attachment (hook on the outer bow)


Teeth can be moved in 3 planes


Sagittal plane



Coronal plane



Transverse plane


Sagittal plane
 point

of attachment (outer bow hook)can
be anywhere on the line a-p axis ,V-Vi
axis in the saggital rectangle


V
P

A
Vi

Shape of outer bow is of no
consequence


Point of attachment can be varied by
 Varying

the length of outer bow

 Varying

the angle between inner and outer

bow
 combination


Cervical headgear for bodily
movement


Location of point of attachment


Distal force component
 Distal

force is maximum when line of action
is horizontal,rather than inclined, and passes
through centre of resistance.


Minimal inclined line of action


Steep line of action


Coronal plane
 The

magnitude of the intrusive or extrusive
vertical component is dependent upon the
inclination or steepness of line of action
 Steeper the line of action more extrusive or
intrusive vertical component
 Horizontal forces neither extrude or intrude


 Since

line of action passes bucally during
intrusion or extrusion these teeth will tend to
roll.
 Buccal crown movement during intrusion and
palatal crown movement during extrusion
 The moment or rotation effect is depend
upon molar tube height from centre of
resistence
 Soldering a palatal bar can solve this
problem

Palatal bar for bodily intrusion


Transverse plane
 Tooth

can be moved distally and medially or
laterally



expansion or contraction of inner arch of
face bow will be translate the crown of molar
medially or laterally


Lateral forces on molar during
extraoral force application


Lateral forces in case of
symmetrical face bow


Offset joint in face bow

18

16


 This

difference is due to flexibility of arm and
not due to offset joint

 If


outer bow is rigid force will be same

the rationale of unequal force distribution to
molars relates to the distance of outer bow to
the mid sagittal plane

Symmetrical soldered outerbow with
different arm length


 In

clinical practice lengthening one arm or
bending it out will create more distal force on
that side
 A mild expansion of inner bow wil counteract
the lateral force on lengthen side


Swivel type of unilateral extraoral face
bow


Most suitable without
any lateral force
