Treatment in the Mixed
Dentition Phase


Bioprogressive Mixed
Dentition Treatment


4.

Four basic objectivesResolve functional problems.
Resolve arch length discrepancy.
Correct vertical problems.
Correct overjet problems.


Resolve functional problems




Anything that disturbs the growth, health and
function of the TMJ complex.
In 1950’s Ricketts –used body section x rays
(laminagrphy)




Lack of rough surface , excessive thickening


Submento-vertex
analysis
- Individual condylar
inclinations and
width.




1.

3.
4.
5.

Nine general categoriesCross mouth interferences.
Anterior crossbite.
Open bite.
Excessive range of function.
Distal displacement.


6.
7.
8.
9.

Loss of posterior support.
Habits.
Breathing and airway problems.
True Class III Growth pattern.


Resolve Arch
Length Discrepancy


1.

-

This is accomplished
by three waysLateral expansion of
the molars.
Depends on the
inclination of the
posterior teeth.


Resolve Arch
Length Discrepancy


Expansion primarily by
change in axial inclination :
- Rickett’s quad helix
- .040 blue elgiloy wire.


Resolve Arch
Length Discrepancy




With 1cm expansion in the upper molars –
anterior segment are expanded 3cm overall.

Long term functional expansion for atleast a
year or more for stable and demonstrable
changes to occur in the lower arch.


Resolve Arch
Length Discrepancy
Arch length gained is result slow natural
expansive response created by muscles


Resolve Arch
Length Discrepancy

Modifications of the Quad Helix

Resolve Arch
Length Discrepancy


Expansion by mid palatal dysfunction:

- Hass type or modified Nance type expansion
appliance.


Resolve Arch
Length Discrepancy
2.

-

Advancement or forward movement of the
lower molars:
If the VTO and physiologic factors warrant.
Expansion utility arch.
1mm forward movement of LI yields 2mm of
arch length.


Resolve Arch
Length Discrepancy
3.

Uprighting and /or distal movement of the
lower molars:

- Accomplished by utility arch.
- 2 mm per side can be gained by uprighting.


Correct Vertical/Overjet
Problems




This is done after functional and arch length
corrections are achieved.
Includes different approaches are used for
the first phase of non extraction treatment.


Problems
1.
-

2.

-

Orthopedic problemsIn case where good alignment of lower arch exists and Class
II is on account of Max.protrusion.

Orthopedic problems with lower arch
therapywith maxillary protrusion but incisors and molars in deep bite
or need advancement.


Problems

interferences.

-

.

4.

Orthodontic problems alone.

Mechanics Sequence for
Extraction Treatment


Extraction Mechanics
Four general procedures :
1 Stabilization of upper and lower molar
anchorage.
2 Retraction and uprighting of cuspids with
sectional arch mechanics.
3 Retraction and consolidation of upper and lower
incisors.
4 Continuous arches for details of ideal and
finishing occlusion.



1. Stabilization of upper





and lower molar
anchorage:
Maximum upper
molar anchorage.
Nance arch with
modifications.
Headgear .


b) Moderate upper molar
anchorage:
 Palatal bar.
 Quad helix.
 Upper utility arch.


c) Minimum upper
molar anchorage:
 Vertical closing loop.
 Double delta loop.






Maximum lower molar
anchorage:
Lower utility arch-four
mechanical
adjustments.






Moderate lower molar
anchorage:
Lower utility with
adjustments.








Minimum lower molar
anchorage:
Eliminate the four
mechanical factors.
Round wires may be
used.


2. Retraction and uprighting of cuspids with
sectional arch mechanics.





Cuspids need to be kept in the narrow trough
of trabecular bone and avoid the severe
tipping or displacement
The activation of the cuspid retraction springs
should produce 100 to 150 grams of force



Intrusion




Root uprighting




Rotation


3. Retraction and consolidation of upper and
lower incisors.
Lower incisors:
 Very light continuous forces (150 grams)

Pentamorphic Arch Forms

Finishing and Retention






“Begin with the end in
mind”.
Every orthodontist has a
visual picture in his mind
of the ideal occlusion into
which the teeth should fit
and mesh in the final
finished occlusion.








Bioprogressive proposes the concept
overtreatment….
No clinician can position teeth as delicately
as the functioning incline plane and cusp
action can accomplish naturally when it is
adequately set up to operate correctly.
Allow natural function to guide the teeth into
the best functioning occlusion for each
individual



Two phases of retention:

1.

Guiding changes during initial adjustments.

2.

Supporting bony sutural and muscular
accommodations to changing environment
and considering long range influences.




Initial stage of retention :



First six weeks following appliance removal



Retainers inserted-designed not to hold but to
guide the teeth in settling.


Labial frame of typical
upper retainer (Ricketts)
passes between the lateral
and cuspid and has a
distal loop at each end to
tuck in the distal of the
expanded overtreated
upper cuspid

Lower arch:
 Fixed first bicuspid retainer is placed.
-maintain cross arch bicuspid width.
-lower cuspid freedom of adjustment against
upper occlusion.
-maintain lower incisor alignment and rotation
correction.








Stabilizing stage of retention:
First year following active treatment.
Lower retainer is kept in place and upper is
worn most of the time.
