Orthodontic tooth movements and biomechanics.Sk Aziz Ikbal
The document discusses biomechanics principles related to orthodontic tooth movement. It covers topics such as:
- Forces applied to teeth can cause movement through bone remodeling.
- Biomechanics refers to mechanics applied to biological systems. Knowledge of forces is needed to control orthodontic treatment.
- Teeth can move through light forces during normal function but heavier sustained forces over 1 second are needed for orthodontic tooth movement.
- Forces have magnitude and direction, while scalars only have magnitude. Resultant forces and moments from multiple applied forces are calculated.
- Different force systems and moment-to-force ratios produce different types of tooth movement such as tipping, translation, rotation, and torque.
This document discusses the treatment of deep bite malocclusions. It defines deep bite and provides descriptions from Graber and Nanda. It then discusses the prevalence based on racial groups. Treatment involves intrusion of incisors, extrusion of molars, and proclination of incisors. Stability depends on factors like growth, muscle strength, and retention. Extraction of premolars is generally not recommended for deep bites. The conclusion emphasizes early treatment and long-term retention for stability.
This document discusses open bite, including definitions, classifications, anterior open bite (AOB), and posterior open bite (POB). It defines open bite as a malocclusion where there is no vertical overlap between the maxillary and mandibular anterior or posterior teeth. AOB is more common than POB and can be caused by factors like thumb sucking, increased vertical facial proportions, tongue posture, mouth breathing, and neurological issues. Diagnosis involves assessing medical history and performing tests like the Overbite Depth Indicator. Treatment aims to correct the underlying causes and close the open bite.
This document discusses the etiology and classification of malocclusion. It begins with an introduction to malocclusion and normal occlusion. It then reviews several classifications of the etiology of malocclusion proposed by researchers, including Moyer's, White and Gardiner's, Proffit's, and Graber's classifications. Graber's classification divides etiologies into general factors, such as heredity, congenital defects, environment, and local factors like anomalies in tooth number or shape. The document provides examples to illustrate different etiologies, such as cleft lip and palate and how conditions like fetal pressure or thalidomide exposure can lead to malocclusion.
This document discusses Class II division 2 malocclusion, including its definition, classification, clinical features, etiology, diagnosis, and treatment options. Class II division 2 is a type of Class II malocclusion characterized by retroclined maxillary incisors. It can be caused by skeletal factors like mandibular deficiency or maxillary excess, or dental factors like premature tooth loss. Diagnosis involves a problem-oriented approach through data collection and establishing a problem list. Treatment may involve orthodontics alone for mild cases, but more severe cases may require orthodontics combined with orthopedics/growth modification or orthognathic surgery.
This document discusses concepts of occlusion including definitions of normal, ideal, physiologic, and pathologic occlusion. It describes static and dynamic occlusion as well as supporting and non-supporting cusps. Compensatory curves including the curves of Spee, Wilson, and Monson are explained. Posterior and anterior centric contacts, the plane of occlusion, centric relation, and centric occlusion are defined. The importance of understanding centric relation for orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning is highlighted.
Model analysis involves studying dental casts to analyze malocclusion in 3 dimensions. This document outlines various model analyses used to assess dental relationships and occlusion. Pont's analysis uses incisor width measurements to calculate expected premolar and molar widths. Linder Harth index is similar but uses different formulas. Korkhaus analysis adds an incisal measurement. Ashley Howe's analysis relates arch width to total tooth width. Wayne Bolton analysis compares maxillary and mandibular tooth widths. Carey's analysis calculates arch length-tooth material discrepancy. Mixed dentition analysis estimates space for permanent teeth.

The document discusses orthodontic triage, which is the process of distinguishing moderate orthodontic treatment problems from complex cases. It outlines five steps for orthodontic triage: examining syndromes and developmental abnormalities, performing facial profile analysis, assessing dental development, analyzing space problems, and identifying other occlusal discrepancies. The document also discusses criteria for selecting growth modification patients and managing various orthodontic issues like crossbites, eruption problems, and space deficiencies.
Orthodontic study models are three-dimensional plaster reproductions of a patient's teeth and surrounding tissues that are used to accurately diagnose and monitor orthodontic treatment. The document outlines the requirements, uses, and proper procedures for fabricating and trimming study models. Key steps include accurately reproducing the dental anatomy, trimming bases and backs at specific angles, and using wax bites and articulators to achieve proper occlusion. Study models provide a permanent record for treatment planning, evaluation, and legal documentation of a patient's orthodontic condition and progress.
The document discusses retention and relapse in orthodontics, defining retention as maintaining teeth in their corrected positions and relapse as the loss of correction. It examines various causes of relapse like periodontal ligament traction, abnormal growth patterns, lack of adequate stabilization, and muscular imbalances. The document also outlines different retention methods and factors to consider for proper retention planning to prevent teeth from relapsing back to their original maloccluded positions.
1. Class III malocclusion is characterized by the lower incisors positioned anterior to the upper incisors with a reduced or negative overjet.
2. The main causes are skeletal patterns like mandibular prognathism, maxillary retrognathism, or a combination of both.
3. Treatment depends on the severity and can include growth modification with functional appliances, orthodontic camouflage, or orthognathic surgery.
1. There are several methods to assess skeletal maturity including hand-wrist radiographs, cervical vertebrae shape assessment, and tooth development stages.
2. Hand-wrist radiographs can be assessed using the Greulich-Pyle atlas method or the Bjork, Grave, and Brown method which divides skeletal development into 9 stages.
3. Cervical vertebrae shape changes through 6 stages of maturation and can indicate how much growth remains.
4. Tooth development through 8 stages of calcification as shown in the Demirjian Index also corresponds to skeletal maturity.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help boost feelings of calmness, happiness and focus.
This article reviews different methods of maxillary expansion including rapid maxillary expansion (RME), slow maxillary expansion (SME), and surgically-assisted maxillary expansion. RME uses appliances like Haas or Hyrax expanders to apply heavy forces and separate the midpalatal suture quickly in 2-3 weeks. SME uses appliances like quad helix or coils to apply lighter, continuous forces over months. Surgically-assisted expansion is used when expansion is needed in older patients after suture closure. Maxillary expansion treats transverse deficiencies, crossbites, and improves nasal breathing. Complications can include discomfort, relapse, and tooth tipping.
The document discusses the Frankel functional regulator, an orthodontic appliance developed by Rolf Frankel in 1961. It consists of a skeletonized oral shield with buccal shields, lip pads, and wires. The appliance aims to harness natural muscle forces to guide jaw development without contacting underdeveloped areas. It works by stretching tissues with the shields and pads to encourage bone growth, while allowing free tongue movement. The document outlines the components, indications, contraindications, advantages and disadvantages, and clinical use of the Frankel appliance.
This document discusses the assessment and treatment of Class III malocclusions. It begins by defining Class III as when the lower incisor edge lies anterior to the upper incisors. It then discusses the incidence, classification, etiology, features, and treatment options for Class III malocclusions. For early treatment of Class III, protraction facemasks are commonly used to protract the maxilla anteriorly through orthopedic forces applied to the maxilla. Protraction facemasks are most effective when used in the early mixed dentition stage in patients with mild skeletal discrepancies. Short term effectiveness of protraction facemasks shows mostly skeletal and dental changes, while long term effectiveness maintains favorable dentoskeletal relationships in about 73%
The document discusses the classification, etiology, diagnosis and management of open bite malocclusions. Open bite can be classified based on the region involved, etiological factors, molar relationship and degree of clinical involvement. Common etiologies include thumb/digit sucking habits, tongue thrusting and mouth breathing. Management involves correcting habits, guiding growth in mixed dentition, and fixed appliances with or without surgery in permanent dentition depending on the skeletal versus dental components. Treatment aims to close the bite through mechanics like elastics, activators or myofunctional appliances combined with orthodontics or orthognathic surgery if needed.
This document summarizes Dr. Pratik Yadav's journal club presentation on Downs WB Analysis of the dento-facial profile. It discusses the 10 parameters in Downs analysis, which includes 5 skeletal and 5 dental measurements. The parameters are measured based on landmarks and reference planes on lateral cephalograms. Downs analysis is one of the most commonly used cephalometric analyses originally developed based on Caucasian patients with excellent occlusion.
This document discusses two main types of space closure mechanics in orthodontic treatment: closing loop archwires and sliding mechanics. Closing loop archwires involve individually fabricated loops to retract teeth into extraction spaces, while sliding mechanics use elastic chains or coil springs to slide teeth along archwires into spaces. The document provides details on techniques, advantages, and disadvantages of each approach as well as factors influencing effective space closure.

Management of Open Bite - Dr. Nabil Al-ZubairNabil Al-Zubair
The document discusses the orthodontic management of open bite cases. It covers conditions like long face syndrome, posterior growth rotation, and anterior and posterior open bites. Managing high angle and open bite cases can be difficult as the underlying skeletal issues are not always clear. Open bites can be anterior or posterior and have multiple etiological factors, both hereditary and non-hereditary like thumb sucking and tongue thrusting. Mouth breathing associated with nasal obstruction is a significant cause that can result in skeletal open bites and long face syndrome.
This document discusses the clinical management of common medical disorders that orthodontists may encounter in patients, including infective endocarditis, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus. It provides guidelines for antibiotic prophylaxis for patients with infective endocarditis undergoing dental procedures to prevent bacterial endocarditis. It notes that patients with well-controlled hypertension can receive orthodontic treatment but special care is needed to avoid gingival irritation due to risk of gingival overgrowth from certain medications. Finally, it states that diabetes increases risk of periodontal disease so maintaining good oral hygiene is important during orthodontic treatment of diabetic patients.
Edward H. Angle was a pioneering orthodontist who developed concepts of occlusion and malocclusion classification in the late 1800s. He opposed extracting teeth for orthodontic treatment. Several orthodontists further developed his ideas, creating new appliances like the Edgewise and Begg appliances to improve control of tooth movement and occlusion. In the 1970s, Larry Andrews identified characteristics of ideal occlusion from studying untreated ideal bites. He developed the preadjusted edgewise appliance and "Six Keys of Occlusion" to achieve optimal occlusion without wire bending. Ronald Roth built on Andrews' work by incorporating the temporomandibular joint.

Etiology of malocclusion 1/certified fixed orthodontic courses by Indian dent...Indian dental academy
This document discusses the etiology of malocclusion. It begins by defining etiology and malocclusion. Genetics and hereditary factors play an important role in malocclusion, with traits being passed down in autosomal dominant or recessive manners. Environmental factors like habits, trauma, diseases and nutrition can also influence malocclusion development. The document reviews several classification systems for categorizing etiological factors, including those proposed by White and Gardiner, Salzmann, Moyer and Graber. General factors discussed include heredity, congenital defects, environment, metabolism, habits, while local factors include tooth anomalies, eruption issues and dental caries.
Genetics and malocclusion /certified fixed orthodontic courses by Indian dent...Indian dental academy
This document discusses the role of genetics in malocclusion. It begins by outlining that the influence of genetics versus environment in malocclusion has been debated. Genetics are clearly predominant in early development, but environment can also influence dentofacial morphology postnatally. Twin studies provide evidence that genetics play a strong role in many malocclusions and dental anomalies. Recent advances in molecular genetics have identified homeobox genes and other genes that control craniofacial development and dental patterning. A better understanding of genetics is needed to appreciate their influence and potential for manipulation in orthodontic treatment.
Role of oral habits in dimensional changes /certified fixed orthodontic cours...Indian dental academy
This document discusses the role of oral habits in dimensional changes of the dental arches during growth and development. It covers normal and abnormal oral habits such as thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, mouth breathing, and bruxism. Abnormal oral habits can apply harmful pressures to the developing dental arches and lead to malocclusion if continued long-term. The document examines various oral habits and their effects on the maxilla, mandible, interarch relationship, lip and tongue placement and function, as well as other effects like thumb deformity and speech defects.
This document discusses several controversies in orthodontics, including growth prediction, the etiology of malocclusion, extraction vs non-extraction treatment, and the role of nasal obstruction, tongue thrust, and respiratory patterns in causing malocclusions. It notes that while some craniofacial growth and tooth movements can be predicted, the exact magnitude and timing cannot. The etiology of malocclusions involves a complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors. The relationship between nasal obstruction, mouth breathing, and malocclusions is unclear, as total nasal obstruction is rare in humans and mouth breathing alone does not necessarily cause malocclusions.

The document discusses various classifications of malocclusion and their etiologies. White and Gardiner's classification distinguished between skeletal and dental factors, as well as pre-eruptive and post-eruptive causes. Salzmann's classification defined three stages - genetic, fetal environment, and postnatal environment - that influence malocclusion development. Moyer's classification identified four sites of etiologic variation: the craniofacial skeleton, dentition, orofacial musculature, and other soft tissues. Graber's comprehensive classification divided factors into general (e.g. heredity, environment) and local (e.g. anomalies in tooth number, shape).

Use of modified tooth forms in complete denture occlusion / dental implant...Indian dental academy
This document discusses dental occlusion concepts and philosophies for complete dentures. It introduces key terms like physiologic occlusion and defines different occlusion schemes like balanced articulation and monoplane articulation. The document discusses advantages and disadvantages of using anatomic versus non-anatomic teeth for complete dentures. It also outlines requirements for maintaining denture stability, such as balanced occlusal contacts and control of horizontal forces. The goal of occlusion for complete dentures is to re-establish the homeostasis of the masticatory system disrupted by edentulism.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

3. The beginning of wisdom is to call things by
their right names.
An old Chinese proverb
The origin of all sciences is in the desire to
know causes and the origin of all false
science and imposture is in the desire to
accept false causes rather than none or
which is the same thing in the unwillingness
to acknowledge our own ignorance.
Burke and Edinburgh Phrenologist
www.indiandentalacademy.com
5. Introduction
Etiology of malocclusion is the study of its
causes.
Recognition and elimination of the
etiological factors is important so that one
can prevent and correct the malocclusion
and obtain a permanent result.
Etiologic factor contribute to the variance
more often than they simply “cause” it.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
6. Current level of etiologic research-
inherited pattern is polygenic.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
7. Based on a multifactorial system with
additive polygenesis and threshold
effect – in order to become a
distinctive factor in the phenotype, the
inherited bundle of genes can be
‘‘tipped over the edge’’ for instance by
environmental factors.
Jorgensen 1966

31. Hereditary / Genetic factors in
malocclusion
Strong influence of inheritance on facial
features- obvious at a glance.
The Hapsburg jaw- prognathic mandible.
Two pertinent questions asked on the
inherited influences are-
1. Is malocclusion often caused by inherited
characteristics?
2.How much of these inherited characteristics
is modified by the pre & postnatal
environment?
www.indiandentalacademy.com
32. Sir Francis Galton – first scientific
analysis of twins & concluded that it
is possible to separate ‘Nurture’ from
‘Nature’.
The best way to find out about
genetic basis in malocclusion is by
using-
1.Twin studies (difficult to obtain
samples).
2.Familial studies.
a.Parent child study (less comprehensive).
b.Sibling studies (more comprehensive).www.indiandentalacademy.com
33. Twin studies:
Lundstrom(1963) conducted a study on 100 pair
of twins,half of which were monozygotic and half
were dizygotic.
Both skeletal and dental overjets were measured
Conclusions
More variations in the dizygotic than
monozygotic.
Larger genetic variations for skeletal pattern than
dental overjet.
Indicates dentoalveolar compensation.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
34. Lauweryns et al(1993) summarized a
number of twin studies and concluded that
40% of the dental and skeletal variations
that lead to malocclusion can be attributed
to hereditary factors.
The use of twins in dentofacial genetic research
Lauweryn I,Carels C,Vlietinck R
AJODO 1993;103:33-38
www.indiandentalacademy.com
35. Familial Studies:
Parent-Child corelation co-efficient
Facial skeletal dimension-0.5
Dental characteristic
-maximum for overjet-0.5
-minimum
for overbite-0.15
www.indiandentalacademy.com
37. Bolton & Brush Growth study(conducted on
siblings between 1930s & 1970s).
Harris & Johnson concluded that-heritability of
craniofacial characters was high but dental was
low.
Heritability estimates for skeletal characters
increases with age but for dental characters
decreased-indicates environmental contribution.
Heritability of craniometric & occlusal variables:
A longitudinal sib analysis.
Edward F Harris & Michelle G.Johnson
AJO-DO 1991;99:258-68
www.indiandentalacademy.com
38. Harrs has shown that the craniofacial
skeletal pattern with class II
malocclusion is heritable & there is
high resemblance of skeletal pattern
in their siblings.
He concluded that the genetic basis
for their resemblance is polygenic.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
39. Genuine Class II malocclusion in
three brother
www.indiandentalacademy.com
40. Litton etal (1970) in their sibling study
have reported Class III malocclusion to
be heritable trait that is polygenic in
nature.
A genetic study of ClassIII malocclusion
Litton SF,Ackerman LV, Isarcson RJ
AJO-DO 1970;58(6) 565-577
www.indiandentalacademy.com
42. Malocclusion could be produced by
inherited characteristics in two major ways:
Disproportion between the size of the jaw
and size of the teeth.
Disproportion between size and shape of
the upper and lower jaw.
More independently these characteristics
are inherited more likely is the
disproportion .
www.indiandentalacademy.com
43. Studies done to find out if tooth & jaw size
discrepancy is due to independent inheritance.
Stockard’s study on cross-bred dogs (1930s)
• Observations
Dramatic malocclusions did occur more from jaw
discrepancies than from tooth-size- jaw-size
discrepancy.
This seemed to confirm that independent
inheritance of facial characteristics could be a
major cause of malocclusion
www.indiandentalacademy.com
44. Study was misleading as many breeds of small
dogs carry genes for Achondroplasia.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
45. Studies using out breeding in human
populations.
In primitive human populations- malocclusions
less frequent since characterised by genetic
isolation & uniformity.
Tooth-size jaw-size discrepancies were infrequent.
Where out breeding occurs incidence of
malocclusion greatly increased.
This seemed to show that the independent
inheritance could be a major cause of
malocclusion.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
46. Hawaiian melting-pot study, Chung et al.
One of the best investigations to examine the
hypothesis of independent inheritance of tooth &
jaw characteristics.
Hawaii-homogenous Polynesian population.
Large scale migration by Europeans, Chinese,
Japanese-Heterogeneous modern population.
High prevalence of malocclusion would be
expected in this population but not so.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
47. The prevalence of malocclusion though higher than
in the original population was only additive rather
than multiplicative.
Ex.10% of Chinese who had Cl III if mated with 10%
of Polynesians with crowded teeth, the offspring
seemed to have 10% prevalence of each
characteristic.
Conclusion that can be drawn from this study is if
malocclusion is inherited, the mechanism is not the
independent inheritance of discrete morphological
characteristics like tooth & jaw sizes.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
48. Lundstrom made an intensive analysis of several
characteristics & found the following-
Heredity significant-
1.Tooth size.
2.Width & length of arch.
3.Height of the palate.
4.Crowding & spacing.
5.Degree of sagittal overbite/overjet.
Heredity probable-
1.Position and conformation of perioral
musculature to tongue size and shape.
2.Soft tissue peculiarities(character and texture
of mucosa, frenum size, shape and position.)
www.indiandentalacademy.com
49. Heredity also plays an important role in the foll.
conditions-
1.Congenital deformities.
2.Facial asymmetries.
3.Macro/micrognathia.
4.Macro/microdontia.
5.Oligodontia & anodontia.
6.Tooth shape variations.
7.Cleft-lip/palate.
8.Frenum diastemas.
9.Deep overbites.
10.Crowding & rotation of teeth.
11.Mandibular retrusion.
12.Mandibular prognathism.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
50. Clinical implications
Heredity can affect the orthodontic treatment as
seen by the following examples-
1.Class II malocclusion caused due to habit much
easily corrected than one due to genetic causes.
2.Class III malocclusion mostly due to mandibular
prognathism(genetic) as against maxillary
retrusion.
The greater the genetic component, the worse the
prognosis for a successful outcome by means of
orthodontic intervention.

Birth injuries
1.Trauma to mandible
Most mandibular deformities-due to
congenital anomalies-but thought to be
due to birth trauma.
Forceps delivery –TMJ damage.
2.Vogelgeschist: development
ankylosis of TMJ,may be due to birth
injury.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
97. Childhood Fractures of the jaw
Mandible more common than the maxilla.
Condylar neck is vulnerable.
75% of these fractures –normal growth
occurs.
Asymmetric growth due to injury to the
soft tissue matrix –scarring restricts the
growth.
Management of fractures very critical-early
immobilisation.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
98. Muscular trauma
Part of soft tissue matrix
responsible for bone growth.
Malocclusion can be
caused by,
a.Decreased tone of the
muscles-due to muscular
dystrophy,or loss of motor
nerve supply-muscle atrophy
b.Excessive muscle
contraction-torticollis or
scaring after a injury.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
99. Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy is a paralysis or lack of
muscular co-ordination attributed to an
intracranial lesion.
Result of birth injuries.
Effect of this neuromuscular disorder may
be seen in the integrity of occlusion.
Varying degree of abnormal muscular
function may occur in mastication,
deglutition, respiration and speech.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
100. Predisposing metabolic Climate
And Disease
Endocrine imbalance.
Hypopituitarism:
Dwarf
Delayed eruption of permanent teeth and
delayed shedding of primary teeth.
Crowding due to smaller arch size.
Mandibular growth more affected than
maxilla.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
101. Hyperpituitarism:
Gigantism-large teeth and jaws.
Acromegaly-occurs after growth and ossification is
complete.
Lips thick,tongue enlarged,shows scalloping.
Accelerated condylar growth-large mandible.
Teeth tipped buccally due to large tongue.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
102. Hypothyroidism:
Delayed eruption.
Abnormal resorption pattern.
Retained deciduous teeth.
Malposed teeth-deflected from eruption path.
Gingival disturbances.
Hyperthyroidism:
Early shedding and eruption
Atrophy of alveolar bone.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
103. Nutritional Deficiency
Disturbances in the developmental
timetable.
Rickets, scurvy and beri-beri can produce
severe malocclusions.
Premature loss of teeth /Prolonged
retention.
Abnormal eruptive path.
Poor tissue health
Poor absorption-hormonal /enzymatic
deficiency.
Decreased fluoride intake-loss of teeth due
to caries-malocclusion.www.indiandentalacademy.com
104. Abnormal Pressure Habits And
Functional Aberration
EQUILIBRIUM THEORY
If an object is acted upon by a set of forces
but remains in the same position, then the
forces must be in balance.
Dentition is in equilibrium.
Movement occurs when equilibrium is
disturbed.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
105. 4 PRIMARY FACTORS IN
EQUILIBRIUM:
1.Intrinsic forces of tongue and lips.
2.Extrinsic forces-habits &orthodontic
appliances.
3.Forces from dental occlusion.
4.Forces from periodontal membrane.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
106. Equilibrium effects on the dentition.
1.Intrinsic forces -Tongue Vs. Lip.
Duration of force more important than the
magnitude.
Chewing force - heavy.
Periodontal ligament -shock absorber.
Force maintained longer -pain is felt.
Heavy but intermittent force no change in
tooth position.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
107. Forces from lips, cheek and
tongue- lighter but act for a
longer duration.
Capable of causing tooth
movement.
Since no tooth movement
occurs-forces are in
equilibrium.
Electronic measurement
showed- pressures are
unequal.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
108. Study by Walter Straub(1950)- clinical observation.
Tongue and lip pressures during swallowing varied
among individuals.
Did not correlate with the position of the teeth.
The tongue and lip pressures were never
balanced.
Tongue pressure several times higher during
swallowing.
Thought lip pressure acts for longer time but was
disproved.
Concluded that incorrect swallowing – major
cause of anterior open bite & incisor protrusion.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
109. Lear & Moorrees studied tongue and lip
pressures.
Tongue and lips pressures measured over
a 4 hour period and projected over 24
hours.
In the 24 hour period, summary of tongue
and lip pressures are close to the
equilibrium.
Total tongue and lip pressures still
imbalanced.
Other forces must be considered, if
equilibrium is to be explained.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
110. 2.Extrinsic forces: Pressure habits &
orthodontic appliances.
a.Orthodontic treatment causing tooth
movement interferes with the equilibrium.
b.Same can be concluded about habits.
c.Extrinsic forces effective only when
duration exceeds 6 hours.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
111. Factors affecting equilibrium in the
vertical direction:
1.Tongue & lips.
2.Forces of occlusion.
3.Forces of eruption.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
112. Studies by Wallen- to find if tongue
pressure leads to anterior open bite:
1.Tongue pressure in patients with anterior
open bite less than persons with normal
vertical relationships.
2.Due to relatively high position of the
incisors the tongue doesn’t contact them
during swallowing.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
113. 3. Forces from dental occlusion:
Attachment apparatus effective hydrodynamic
damping system.
The occlusal forces influence vertical position of
teeth.
Maximum force of 100kg or more sustained for
fraction of a second.
Vertical position of teeth when changed can alter
the rest position of the mandible.
Extrusion of molar teeth rotates the mandible
downward & backward & intrusion causes the
mandible to move to a closed position.
These changes mediated by proprioceptors in the
periodontal ligament.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
114. Forces of eruption:
Eruptive force moves the tooth through the bone.
Remains active till tooth has come into occlusion.
Extraction of antagonist restarts the eruption
process again.
Studies show eruptive force generated in the
periodontal membrane rather than the root apex.
Strain gauge pressure transducer shows the
eruptive force can be between 2 to 10gms
www.indiandentalacademy.com
115. Biting forces & Eruption:
Patients with deep / openbite show
infra/supra eruptive posterior teeth – how
much a tooth erupts depends on how much
force is placed on it.
Studies to find if long faced persons have
lower maximum biting force & short faced
persons have high biting forces were done.
Swallowing, chewing & maximum biting
forces were evaluated.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
116. 3 groups measured were- children with long faces, children
with normal faces & long faced adults.
All 3 groups had less biting forces than normal adults.
Difference in occlusal forces arises at puberty -when the
normal faced individual gains muscle strength.
Tendency towards long face before the difference in force
appears- difference is an effect rather than the cause.www.indiandentalacademy.com
117. 4. Forces from the periodontal
membrane:
Form an important part in stabilizing teeth.
Though the tongue & lip pressure are unequal
postulated that periodontal ligament maintains
teeth in stable position.
Pathological migration – break down of periodontal
ligament.
Final position of teeth influenced by two factors-
1.Resting positions of lip, cheek & tongue.
2.Metabolic activity within the periodontal membrane
www.indiandentalacademy.com
118. Abnormal Habits
All habits are learned patterns of muscle
contraction of a very complex nature.
Habits such as normal lip action and
mastication-stimulants for normal growth,
Undesirable habits –malocclusion.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
119. Duration not the only determinant but
frequency & intensity affect the end
result.
The trident of habit factors.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
120. Deleterious habitual patterns of
muscles behavior produce:
1.Perverted osseous growth.
2.Tooth malpositions.
3.Disturbed breathing.
4.Difficulty in speech.
5.Upset balance of facial musculature.
6.Psychological problems.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
121. Thumb/Finger sucking
One of the most
important factors in
producing and
maintaining
malocclusion.
Begins at birth and
outgrown by 3-4
years.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
122. Finger sucking from birth to 4 years:
Suckling mechanism –most important
exchange with the outside world.
Through suckling child obtains-
nutrients, feelings of euphoria, sense
of security and feeling of warmth.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
123. Time of appearance of digital sucking-
First few weeks- feeding problems.
During the eruption of teeth- Teething device.
Older children- release of emotional tensions.
THEORIES FOR NON-NUTRITIVE SUCKING:
1. Classical Freudian theory(1905)
Orality of the infant related to pregenital
organisation.
Sexual activity not separated from taking of
nourishment.
Abrupt stopping of habit leads to substitution by
other antisocial tendencies.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
124. 2.The learning theory- Davidson(1967)
Association of non-nutritive sucking with
pleasurable feelings like hunger.
3. The oral drive theory- Sears and Wise
(1982)
Strength of the oral drive is proportional to
how long a child continues to feed by
suckling.
Thumb sucking is due to the oral drive and
not the result of frustration of weaning.
Agrees with the Freudien theory- suckling
increases the erotogenesis of the mouth.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
125. Studies done to evaluate feeding
pattern:
Children fed had less thumb sucking habit than
children whose feedings were widely separated.
Non-thumb suckers took a longer time to feed.
Digital sucking related to inadequate sucking
activity.
Benjamin did a series of experiments with
monkeys and found – less thumb sucking in those
in whom the nutritive suckling experience is less
Thumb sucking is an expression of a need to suck
– associated thumb-sucking with primary
reinforcing aspects of feeding.
Thumb sucking – reflex common to all mammalian
infants.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
126. Studies done to evaluate psychological
aspects:
Thumb sucking result of inadequate
attention.
Manifestation of feeling of insecurity.
Should be screened for underlying
psychological disturbances.
Psychological consultation needed
when trying to break the habit.
Studies in the university of Alberta
disproved the above facts.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
127. This study was done with 66 children divided into 6
groups.
a. Control group.
b. Psychologic treatment.
c. Palatal arch only.
d. Palatal arch & psychological treatment.
e. Palatal crib only.
f. Palatal crib reinforced by psychological
treatment.
Children who suck their thumbs failed to
demonstrate any consistent psychological
difference from the control group.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
128. Results support the theory that digital
sucking is a simple learned habit.
No support for interpretation of thumb
sucking as a symptom of psychological
disturbance.
Orthodontic intervention failed to produce
any increase in alternative or substitute
undesirable behaviour.
Palatal crib with spurs was most effective
and associated habits like hair-twisting,
fondling, disappeared with finger habits.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
129. Palermo- thumb-sucking arises out of a
progressive stimulus & reward reaction;
spontaneously disappears unless becomes an
attention getting mechanism.
Eysenek- learning theory regards neurotic
symptoms as simple learned habits; no neurosis
underlying the symptom but the symptom itself.
Various theories of non-nutritive digit sucking are
not completely incompatible.
Findings support the learning theory – associated
with prolonged nutritive sucking.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
130. Classification of Sucking Habits
1.O’Brien (1996)
Nutritive sucking habit – breast feeding/bottle
feeding.
Non-nutritive sucking habit – thumb / finger
sucking, pacifier sucking.
2.Subtelny (1973) – 4 grades of thumb sucking
Type A
50% of children – whole digit is placed inside the
mouth.
Pad of the thumb presses against the palate.
Maxillary & mandibular anterior contact is
maintained
www.indiandentalacademy.com
131. Type B
13-24% of children.
Thumb is placed without touching the palate.
Maxillary & mandibular anterior contact is
maintained.
Type C
18% of the children.
Thumb is placed just beyond the first joint.
Contacts the hard palate.
Contacts only the maxillary incisors.
Type D
6% of the children.
Tip of the thumb inside the mouth.www.indiandentalacademy.com
132. Digit Sucking & Malocclusion.
Large percentage of children practicing digit sucking but little
correlation with malocclusion.
Sucking habits in primary dentition – little or no long term
effects.
Habits persist beyond the time that the permanent teeth
erupt - malocclusion occurs.
Characterized by flared & spaced maxillary incisors, lingually
positioned lower incisors, anterior open bite, narrow upper
arch.
Rarely due to finger pressure alone, assistance from perioral
musculature.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
133. Burlington Orthodontic Research Center –
Popovitch & Thompson report.
High association of abnormal sucking
habits with malocclusion.
Cook measured forces of thumb sucking:
Three distinct patterns of force application
during sucking.
All forces sufficient to displace teeth &
deform growing bone.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
134. How does malocclusion actually occur?
When thumb / finger placed
between the teeth –
positioned at an angle.
Presses lingually against
the lower incisors & labially
against the upper incisors.
There can be variation
depending on which teeth
are contacted.
Duration of the sucking is
most important.
Child who sucks vigorously
but intermittently does not
displace incisors but when
continuous light pressure is
applied – malocclusion
results. www.indiandentalacademy.com
135. Anterior open bite –
Combination of thumb
sucking & interference
with normal eruption.
Excessive eruption of
posterior teeth & impedes
eruption of incisors.
Mandible positioned in a
downward manner to
accommodate the
interposed thumb-
causing increased
eruption of posterior teeth.
Direct impediment of
incisor eruption.
Maxillary constriction- not
due to negative pressure.www.indiandentalacademy.com
136. Imbalance between tongue & cheek
pressures.
Tongue is lowered which decreases the
pressure on the upper posterior teeth.
Cheek pressure increased as buccinator
muscle contracts during suckling.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
137. Constricted maxillary arch least likely
to correct spontaneously.
When maxillary arch expanded,
incisor protrusion & anterior open bite
improves spontaneously.
No use beginning orthodontic therapy
till habit is stopped.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
138. Tongue Thrusting
Often associated with thumb sucking.
Tongue thrust is forward placement of the tongue
between the anterior teeth & against the lower lip
during swallowing- Schneider (1982).
Normal swallow – the teeth are in occlusion, lips
lightly closed, the tongue held against the palate
behind the anterior teeth.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
139. CLASSIFICATION OF TONGUE THRUST
SWALLOW:
1.Simple tongue-thrust swallow –
Normal teeth together swallow.
Associated with digit sucking habit.
Needed to maintain anterior seal.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
140. 2. Complex tongue thrust swallow.
Associated with chronic nasorespiratory
distress, mouth-breathing, tonsillitis or
pharyngitis.
Inflamed tonsils produce pain due to
encroachment of the root of the tongue.
Reflex drop of mandible – separating the
teeth & provides more room for the tongue
to thrust - assuming a more comfortable
position.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
141. In chronic mouth breathers - large
freeway space due to dropping of the
mandible & protrusion of the tongue –
adequate airway.
Jaws held apart during swallow –
tongue remains in a protracted
position.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
142. Studies by Melsen et al showed tongue thrust
swallow & teeth apart swallow favor development
of disto-cclusion, maxillary overjet & openbite.
Tongue thrust a misnomer – Proffit.
Swallowing not a learnt behavior but is integrated
& controlled physiologically at subconscious
levels.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
143. Mature adult swallow develops at 3 years of age, in
majority of people seen by the age of 6 yrs.
Only brain damaged children retain a true infantile
swallow.
Transition stage characterized by muscular activity
which brings the lips together, separates the
posterior teeth & there is forward protrusion of the
tongue.
Delayed normal swallow transition associated with
previous history of sucking habit
www.indiandentalacademy.com
144. Upper incisor protrusion or anterior open bite –
Difficult to seal the mouth by bringing lips together.
Bringing the tongue forward – a successful
maneuver to form an anterior seal.
Too short a duration to have impact on the tooth
position-1 second.
Total swallows per day approx.-1000.www.indiandentalacademy.com
145. Tongue thrust swallow present in children with
good anterior occlusion.
Due to stoppage of sucking habit & where the
open bite is closing – tongue position persists for a
while.
Tongue thrusting seen in two circumstances-
1. Children with normal occlusion passing through
the transition stage.
2. Where there is an anterior openbite or protracted
anterior teeth.
Tongue thrusting result of malocclusion not
the cause.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
146. Tongue Posture & Tongue Size
TONGUE POSTURE:
Tongue thrust swallowing
– short duration to have
impact on tooth position.
If posture of tongue is
forward resting for long
duration effects tooth
position.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
147. TONGUE SIZE:
Macroglossia can lead to proclination of
anteriors & anterior openbite.
Aglossia/Microglossia can lead to crowding
and lingual inclination of teeth.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
148. Skeletal openbite
Steep mandibular plane.
Increased anterior facial height.
Tongue thrusting results due to lack
of anterior seal.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
149. Respiratory Pattern
Respiratory needs – Primary
determinants of the jaw & tongue.
Breathing through the mouth alters
equilibrium of the jaws & teeth.
Lowering of the mandible & tongue &
extension of the head is seen.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
150. Effects of mouth-breathing:
-Increase in facial height.
-Supraeruption of posterior teeth.
-Rotation of mandible downwards &
backwards.
-Open bite anteriorly.
-Increase in overjet.
-Pressures from stretched cheeks – narrow
maxillary arch.-Posterior crossbite .
&class II malocclusion.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
151. Causes leading to mouth breathing:
Chronic respiratory obstruction.
Mechanical obstruction.
Size of the nostril.
Pharyngeal tonsils or adenoids (adenoid
facies).
Greater effort required to breath through
the nose – tortuous nasal passages.
Partial blockage of the nose leads to
resistance of airflow – person shifts to
mouth breathing
www.indiandentalacademy.com
152. Studies to Find Association of Respiratory
Pattern & Craniofacial Growth.
D’Arcy Thompson – ‘Form of an object is
its diagram of forces’.
Methods to evaluate nasal obstruction:
1.Clinical tests- fogging of mirror, movement
of cotton wisps.
2.Cephalometric Radiographs.
3.Rhinomanometric tests
www.indiandentalacademy.com
153. 1. CLINICAL STUDIES OF
RESPIRATORY OBSTRUCTION:
Classic example – ‘adenoid facies’
Characterized by separated lips, small
nose, nostrils poorly developed, pout in
the lower lip, vacant facial expression.
All patients with this facial
characteristics are not mouth breathers.
a. Case- children with nasal
obstruction- downward &
backward rotation of mandible.
Subsequent growth increases
lower facial height.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
154. b. Howard reviewed 500 patients.
159 patients classified as mouth breathers.
59% - normal occlusion.
14% with Class II malocclusion.
27% with Class III / Class I malocclusion.
c. Linder – Aronson & Backstrom compared facial
types & type of occlusion in nose breathers and
mouth breathers.
Greater nasal resistance – children with long
narrow faces & high narrow palate.
No direct correlation between mouth breathing &
type of occlusion - particularly overbite / jet.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
155. d. James A. McNamara Jr. – Preliminary
analysis of skeletal & dental characteristics
of 40 patients.
Tonsil & adenoid study (children’s hospital
Pittsburgh).
Prospective study – Each subject met 1
criterion (at least) for adenoidectomy.
Recurrent otitis media.
Nasal obstruction due to large adenoids.
Both.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
156. Classified as surgical/non-surgical groups.
Lateral radiographs analyzed-
77% - Class I molar relation.
13% - Class II molar relation.
10% - Class III molar relation.
On an average – excessive anterior facial height &
steep mandibular plane (31.5°) was characteristic.
4 patients – steep mandibular plane, 4 fell within
normal limits.
Results indicate craniofacial relationships with
mouth breathing are variable & associated with no.
of facial patterns.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
157. . Fields et al-compared respiratory modes
of normal and long-faced subjects using
respirometric studies.
1/3rd of the long-faced individuals have
less than 50% nasal respiration and none
of the normal-faced individuals have such
low values.
Most of the long faced individuals are
predominantly nasal breathers.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
158. Nasal impairment may contribute to long –face but
not the sole and major cause.
Multifactoral nature of association between nasal
obstruction and facial growth.
Conclusion of clinical studies:
Relationship exists between upper respiratory
obstruction & configuration of craniofacial
structures for a given individual.
No specific pattern can be directly co-related with
mouth-breathing
www.indiandentalacademy.com
159. 2. EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES OF
RESPIRATORY OBSTRUCTION:
James Mcnamara-
caused complete nasal obstruction in
primates using silicon plugs.
Found downward & backward rotation of
mandible & increased lower facial height.
b. Harvold Miller – Classical studies in
young rhesus monkey.
Latex plugs inserted into the nasal
passages – forcing to breathe through the
mouth.
Gradual adaptation from nasal to oral
respiration.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
160. Some animals positioned
mandibles downward &
backward.
Some, rhythmically lowered
and raised the mandibles.
Some positioned the
mandible downward &
forward.
Morphological changes –
Soft tissue changes
occurred first – notching of
upper lip & grooving of the
tongue.
Moderate skeletal changes
in animals who lowered
mandible for each breath
www.indiandentalacademy.com
161. Dramatic changes
In mandibular morphology –at the gonial
region and chin in animals which
maintained lowered mandibular posture.
Distance from nasion to chin increased-
lowering of mandible.
Distance from nasion to hard palate
increased –downward displacement of
maxilla.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
162. Lower border of the mandible became steeper,
increase in gonial angle.
The ramus height maintained its normal relation –
masticatory muscles attaching the ramus to the
skull are unaffected.
Conclusions:
Every animal adapted to the environmental insult
with unique neuromuscular adaptation.
Occlusal effects varied-
Rotation of the mandible in a posteroinferior
direction – Class I skeletal open bite or Class II
malocclusion.
Maintained more anterior position of mandible –
Class III malocclusion.
Total nasal obstruction- rare in human beings.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
163. 3. STUDIES FOR ADAPTATIONS FOLLOWING REMOVAL OF
NASAL OBSTRUCTIONS:
Linder- Aronson studied 41 children who
underwent adenoidectomies- 5 years.
34 children who switched to oral respiration
compared with 54 normal children.
Significant group mean difference found initially.
Greatest change occurred in the dentition and the
sagittal depth of the nasopharynx in the first year.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
164. Mandibular plane angle diminished by 4
degrees (gradual change).
Results were statistically significant but no
large measurement differences – facial
height only 3 mm larger in adenoidectomy
group.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
165. Solow & associates studied relationship of
craniofacial angulations & nasal respiratory
resistance.
2 months after adenoidectomy – 2% reduction in
the craniocervical angulation & position of the
head in relation to true vertical.
Bushey-Compared lateral cephalograms –pre and
post surgically.
Found no relationship between linear
measurements of the adenoids and nasal
respiration.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
166. Research leads to 2 opposing principles:
Total nasal obstruction – highly likely to
alter the pattern of growth & lead to
malocclusion.
Majority of individuals with long face
pattern of deformity have no evidence of
nasal obstruction & must have some other
etiological factor as the principle cause.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
167. Roles of the Muscles in Producing
Class I, II & III Malocclusion
Class I malocclusion –
Muscle function usually normal & in a state of
balance.
Class I open bite – exception – attributable to
thumb/finger sucking or abnormal swallow or both.
Displacement of maxillary incisors labially results
in tongue thrusting to ‘close off’ the oral cavity –
accentuation of open bite occurs.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
168. Tongue thrusting enhances as lips
become hypotonic & no longer
contact.
Mouth breathing aggravated as tonsils
& adenoids are larger at this stage.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
169. If maxillary incisors are very proclined –
cushions to the lingual aspect of maxillary
incisors making them more proclined.
Mentalis activity increases – puckering of
the skin with each swallow.
Tongue drops lower in the mouth – no
longer approximates the palate
www.indiandentalacademy.com
170. Disturbance of the equilibrium – narrowing
of the maxillary arch.
Over eruption of the posterior teeth
because lateral portion of tongue do not
overlay occlusal surfaces of posterior teeth.
Interocclusal space eliminated.
Crossbite occurs – leading to mandibular
displacement.
• Though malocclusion not entirely caused
by the finger habit, it was the first assault
on the integrity of the dentition.
• Compensatory tongue & lip activity resulted
in significant deforming mechanism.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
171. Class II Div. 1 malocclusion:
Change in the muscle function – requisite.
Proclination of anterior teeth leads to excessive
overjet.
Lip sucking habit develops – hypertrophic lower
lip.
Incisors move further labially – no resistance from
hypotonic functionless upper lip.
Lower incisors pushed lingually by abnormal
mentalis activity.
Lower tongue position – Narrowing of the maxillary
arch.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
172. Class II Div. 2 malocclusion:
Muscle function usually normal.
Tongue occupies the interocclusal space – increases
interocclusal clearance.
Interferes with eruption & accentuate curve of spee.
Due to lingual inclination, excessive interocclusal clearance
& infraocclusion of posterior teeth – forced retrusion of
mandible occurs.
TMJ problems can arise.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
173. ‘Forced retrusion’- controversial.
Swann (1954)-functional displacement of mandible
when teeth are occluded.
Ricketts (1955),Jarabac(1963),Graber(1969)-also
agreed that there was a displacement of mandible
posteriorly and superiorly.
Recent studies have challenged this concept.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
174. Gianelly (1989)-studied 19 asymtomatic
subjects with no overjet,deep bite and
upright incisors against 21 Cl II subjects
with normal overbite,overjet and interincisal
angulations.
Concluded that condylar positions in both
groups were essentially centered.
Demisch(1992)-concluded that-if there is
distal positioning of the mandible,it would
spontaneously reposition anteriorly on
treatment. As this phenomenon not noticed-
mandible not displaced posteriorly.www.indiandentalacademy.com
175. Assessment of the condylar position in class II div
2,using the mandibular position indicator-30
subjects.
Conclusions:
1.Although no particular predisposition to condylar
retrusion,it is seen in (uni/bilatrelly)in more than
50% of cases.
2.No association between condylar retrusion and
overjet, overbite and incisal inclinations.
3.Significant association between mandibular size
and condylar retrusion.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
176. Class III malocclusion:
Abnormal muscle function is seen.
Upper lip – short but not hypotonic.
Lower lip hypertrophic & redundant –
passive during deglutition.
Upper lip shows greater activity during
swallowing.
Tongue lies low in the floor of the mouth –
constricted maxillary arch.
Interocclusal space – small or absent
www.indiandentalacademy.com
177. Lip-Sucking & Lip-Biting
May be seen on its own or associated
with thumb sucking.
Mandibular lip mostly involved.
Results in labioversion of maxillary
teeth.
Open bite & linguoversion of
mandibular incisors.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
178. Nail-Biting
Seen in high strung & nervous children.
Symptom of social & psychologic
maladjustment.
Often mentioned to cause malposition but
rarely does.
Marked increase in children after 6 year of
age.
Clinical examination of the incisor teeth in
finger-nail biters indicate that the habits is
responsible for openbite & rotation of the
mandibular incisor.
