This document discusses the orthodontic correction of occlusal plane canting. It begins by explaining that occlusal plane canting is challenging to correct without surgery as it requires precise control of tooth positioning. With the advent of skeletal anchorage, true intrusion of molars is now possible, allowing correction of occlusal plane canting without surgery in some cases of mild facial asymmetry. The document then provides details on diagnosing and measuring occlusal plane canting, as well as biomechanical principles and techniques for correcting canting orthodontically using skeletal anchorage like mini-implants.

orthodontic correction of occlusal plane canting PART 3Maher Fouda
The document describes using a rhythmic wire system with miniscrews to correct occlusal plane canting. It details a biomechanical system called "rhythmic wire" consisting of miniscrews and intrusion/extrusion wires. The system is used in two patient cases to intrude maxillary teeth and extrude mandibular teeth, correcting the cant without surgery. Placement of miniscrews and intrusion/extrusion wires between teeth guided vertical movement and transpalatal/lingual arches controlled tipping. Both patients' occlusal canting was successfully corrected in under 2 years with this customized orthodontic treatment.

ORTHODONTIC CORRECTION OF OCCLUSAL PLANE CANTING MaherFouda1
This document summarizes the orthodontic treatment of a 22-year-old patient with a canted occlusal plane, facial asymmetry, and mandibular prognathism. Miniscrews were implanted to intrude extruded teeth and correct the cant. After decompensation with elastics, the patient underwent bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy and genioplasty. Post-treatment, the patient's occlusion, facial asymmetry, and cant were significantly improved, though a two-jaw approach may have achieved better results. Miniscrews were effective for intrusion but require careful placement between roots to avoid complications.
This document discusses various types of intrusion arches used in orthodontics to correct deep overbites. It begins by defining intrusion and describing the biomechanics and principles involved. It then covers 9 specific intrusion arch designs: 1) Rickett's Utility Arch 2) Tipback Springs 3) Burstone's Continuous Intrusion Arch 4) Burstone's Three Piece Intrusion Arch 5) K-SIR 6) Connecticut Intrusion Arch 7) PG Retraction Spring 8) Translation Arch 9) Lingual Arch for intruding lower incisors. For each type, it provides details on materials, design, and mechanics of intrusion.
The pendulum appliance uses acrylic and springs to deliver continuous force from the palate to the upper molars, producing distal movement without affecting other teeth. It is fabricated with acrylic covering springs that extend to molar bands. Springs are activated in 3-week intervals to monitor distalization over 4 months before stabilizing molars. The appliance effectively treats Class II malocclusions without extractions through distal molar movement.
Modification of twin block functional applianceMaher Fouda
This document discusses the Twin Block appliance, which was originally developed by Clarke. It remains a widely used functional appliance for treating Class II malocclusions. The Twin Block consists of separate upper and lower acrylic appliances connected by occlusal blocks. It works by forcing the mandible into a protrusive position during jaw closure. The document describes the standard Twin Block design and various modifications that have been made, including the addition of expansion screws, torquing springs, and bite jumping screws to allow for gradual advancement. Advantages include comfort, aesthetics, and improved patient compliance compared to fixed appliances. The Twin Block is effective at correcting Class II malocclusions in a rapid manner.

Extrusion by reverse curves archwires by Dr Maher FoudaMaher Fouda
The document discusses the use of accentuated curve Niti wires and anterior box elastics to correct anterior open bites. It describes how the curved wires provide intrusive forces on the anterior and posterior teeth while the elastics balance out the force anteriorly, allowing intrusion of the posterior segments. This results in closure of the open bite as the mandible rotates anteriorly. The treatment is effective but requires strict patient compliance with elastic wear. Potential risks include gummy smiles and gingival recession if elastics are worn too long.
Orthodontic Diagnosis And Treatment In Transverse Dimension
• In orthodontics, among the three planes of space - sagittal, vertical, and
transverse, the transverse is the least studied.
• The transverse facial growth normally completes before the sagittal and
vertical growth.
• Understanding the transverse growth is important in making proper
diagnosis and treatment planning of the transverse problems.
This document discusses the principles of the Alexander Discipline, an orthodontic technique developed by the Alexander family. It provides biographies of key members of the Alexander family and describes 20 principles that define the technique. The principles address topics like establishing treatment goals, developing a treatment plan, using growth to facilitate correction, maintaining arch form, using an appropriate archwire sequence, and ensuring stability. The overall approach emphasizes consolidating tooth movement early and allowing sufficient time for archwires to achieve the desired final position.
This document provides an overview of retraction mechanics. It begins with definitions of key terms like force, center of resistance, moment, and center of rotation. It then discusses different types of anchorage and bends that can be used. Several methods for retraction are covered, including Begg's technique, friction mechanics, frictionless mechanics using loops, and canine retraction techniques. Factors influencing tooth movement and various appliances for retraction like utility arches and translation arches are also summarized. In conclusion, the document reviews different retraction strategies and appliances.
Proper bracket placement is important for optimal orthodontic treatment outcomes. Brackets should be placed according to the facial axis of the clinical crown and the facial axis point to ensure proper positioning relative to the facial axis of occlusion. The mesiodistal position of brackets varies slightly between tooth types, and should be placed at the mid-developmental ridge for most accurate positioning. Correct axial positioning of brackets parallel to the long axis of the clinical crown is important to express the proper tip built into pre-adjusted brackets.

The document provides information about the MBT bracket system. Some key points:
- MBT was developed by Dr. Richard McLaughlin, Dr. John Bennett, and Dr. Hugo Trevisi to address limitations of previous pre-adjusted edgewise appliances.
- MBT utilizes light, continuous forces with sliding mechanics principles. Torque is incorporated fully into the bracket bases.
- Bracket tip and torque specifications are designed to achieve ideal tooth positions and occlusion. Canine torque values were modified from original straight wire appliance prescriptions.
- MBT treatment philosophy emphasizes accuracy of bracket placement, group tooth movement, anchorage control, and awareness of tooth size discrepancies.
This document discusses arch form in orthodontic treatment. It notes that while custom archwires were traditionally used, preadjusted appliances assumed one arch form could fit all patients. However, some customization is still needed. The document examines stability of arch form changes after treatment and notes expansion, especially of lower intercanine width, often relapses. It recommends using tapered, square, and ovoid arch forms to balance efficiency and accuracy for individual patients.

orthodontic correction of canted occlusal plane part 2Maher Fouda
This document describes the diagnosis and treatment of occlusal plane canting, which is a vertical asymmetry between the left and right sides of the dental arches. It discusses how occlusal canting can be caused by skeletal asymmetry or asymmetric tooth positions. Diagnosis involves evaluating photographs, models, and radiographs to measure the degree of cant. Treatment options discussed include using skeletal anchorage like mini-implants to intrude teeth on one side and correct the cant. Close monitoring is needed to prevent unwanted tooth movements and open bites during treatment.
Management of Canted Occlusal plane in Orthodontics.pptxsafabasiouny1
Occlusal plane canting refers to the rotation of the occlusal plane in the sagittal or transverse plane. It is commonly associated with facial asymmetry and can affect smile esthetics. Diagnosis involves photographs, software, radiographs and examining the midline. Treatment may involve orthodontics using intrusion, extrusion or a combination on one or both arches. For severe cases, orthognathic surgery such as single or double jaw procedures can be used. Biomechanically, temporary anchorage devices like miniplates, mini-implants or bone screws can provide stable anchorage for intrusion or extrusion movements needed to correct the cant.
Postero anterior cephalometric _ mansoura university _ Egyptameen qulah
The document discusses postero anterior (PA) cephalometry, which evaluates craniofacial structures in transverse and vertical dimensions. It describes how to properly position patients for PA cephalograms, including orienting the Frankfort horizontal plane parallel to the floor. Various PA cephalometric landmarks related to specific bones are identified. Planes used in PA cephalograms are described, including the median sagittal reference plane. Grummons analysis for PA cephalograms is outlined, involving horizontal planes, mandibular morphology analysis, and other components.
This document discusses bi-maxillary surgery, which involves surgical correction of skeletal deformities in both the upper and lower jaw. It covers indications for bi-maxillary surgery such as severe class III deformities or facial asymmetries. Careful pre-operative planning is required, including cephalometric prediction tracings and model surgery to plan the movements. The sequence of surgery typically involves a Lefort I osteotomy of the maxilla followed by bilateral sagittal split osteotomies of the mandible while holding the repositioned maxilla in place. Splints are used to guide jaw positioning during the procedure.
Midline shift /certified fixed orthodontic courses by Indian dental academy Indian dental academy
This document discusses midline shift, including its causes, diagnosis, and treatment. Midline shift can be caused by dental factors like tooth loss or retention, or skeletal factors like condylar fractures or hemimandibular hypertrophy. Diagnosis involves clinical examination, functional analysis, radiographs, and determining if the shift is dental or skeletal. Treatment depends on the underlying cause, and may involve correcting tooth positioning, expanding the arch, or orthognathic surgery for severe skeletal discrepancies. Maintaining compensatory tooth inclinations is important to properly address underlying skeletal asymmetries.
This document discusses the Sendai surgery-first (SF) protocol for treating orthognathic cases. It begins by outlining the 15 steps of the Sendai SF protocol, focusing on the first 4 major steps: 1) Diagnosis and establishing treatment goals, 2) Model surgery to simulate surgical movements, 3) Surgery to reposition the jaws, and 4) Immediate postsurgical orthodontics using temporary anchorage devices. It then provides a detailed example of a 37-year-old female patient treated with the Sendai SF protocol, including her initial presentation, cephalometric analysis, treatment goals of mandibular setback and decompensation, model surgery simulation, and surgical splint fabrication.
Indications of orthognathic surgery and surgical proceduresMaherFouda1
this explains indications of performing orthognathic surgery.It also explains different surgical procedures for different severe forms of malocclusion .
1. This document discusses two different occlusal schemes - the lingualized opposing and the monoplane neutrocentric concept.
2. With the monoplane concept, the plane of occlusion is completely flat and level with no compensating curves, and there is no vertical overlap of anterior teeth.
3. When setting teeth using this concept, the horizontal and lateral condylar guidances should be set at zero, and the posterior teeth are set on a flat occlusal plane with both anterior and posterior teeth on the same plane.
1. This document discusses two concepts for setting teeth on an articulator: a lingualized opposing scheme and a monoplane/neutrocentric concept.
2. For the monoplane concept, the plane of occlusion is flat and parallel to the denture foundation with no compensating curves. There is no vertical overlap of anterior teeth.
3. The document provides step-by-step instructions for setting maxillary and mandibular teeth on the articulator according to the monoplane concept, including positioning landmarks, establishing the occlusal plane, and ensuring proper horizontal overlaps and lingualized contacts between teeth.
The document discusses monoplane occlusion with balancing ramps for dentures. It aims to minimize lateral tipping forces by reducing inclined plane contact between maxillary and mandibular teeth. This is achieved by positioning teeth on a flat occlusal plane and adding balancing ramps. The summary provides instructions for setting up anterior and posterior teeth to achieve this occlusion scheme.

The document discusses orientation jaw relation and facebow transfer procedures. It defines orientation jaw relation as establishing the reference in the cranium and the relationship between the maxilla and mandible. It then describes recording orientation using a facebow to relate the maxillary cast to the articulator in the same way the maxilla relates to the temporomandibular joints. The document also summarizes the types of facebows, including arbitrary and kinematic, and procedures for using each in complete dentures and fixed prosthodontics.
Surgical analysis1 /certified fixed orthodontic courses by Indian dental acad...Indian dental academy
This document discusses various cephalometric analyses used for surgical planning of orthognathic surgery cases, including the Burstone analysis. It describes the landmarks, measurements, and assessments of the skeletal and dental structures that are part of these analyses. The analyses evaluate the horizontal and vertical positions of the facial bones and jaws, as well as the angulation of the mandible, maxilla, occlusal plane and teeth. Soft tissue measurements are also outlined, including evaluations of lip position, chin prominence, and facial convexity. The analyses provide quantitative data to diagnose skeletal discrepancies and guide surgical treatment planning.

This document provides guidelines for proper orthodontic bracket placement. It discusses positioning brackets on both the upper and lower dental arches. For the upper arch, it recommends placing maxillary second premolar brackets slightly more anteriorly to facilitate proper rotation into occlusion. It also advises ignoring the lingual cusp of asymmetric premolars when determining bracket placement. For the lower arch, it suggests placing mandibular premolar brackets more gingivally to avoid occlusal interference. Improperly positioned brackets can result in poor tooth alignment, longer treatment times, and less than ideal occlusion.

Orthognathic surgery involves correcting jaw deformities through combining orthodontics and maxillofacial surgery. It is primarily used in adults once growth has ceased to treat conditions too severe for orthodontics alone, such as malocclusions, airway issues, pain, or poor aesthetics. Planning involves clinical exams, models, virtual surgical planning, and splint fabrication to simulate and guide the surgery, which may include Le Fort osteotomies of the maxilla, sagittal split or vertical ramus osteotomies of the mandible, and genioplasty. Risks include nerve damage, bleeding, infection, and relapse, so patients must be informed and compliant.

This document discusses malocclusion, which refers to misalignment between the teeth of the upper and lower jaws. It begins by describing normal occlusion and then defines different types of malocclusions, including those involving individual teeth, the dental arches, and skeletal structures. It provides examples and classifications of different malocclusions such as Class I, II, and III involving the positioning of the molars and premolars. It also discusses crowding and spacing issues as well as rotations, displacements, and other anomalies of individual teeth. In summary, the document comprehensively defines and classifies different types of malocclusions.
management of the developing dentition part 1MaherFouda1
This document discusses various developmental anomalies that can affect the primary and permanent dentitions, including variations in tooth number, morphology, position, and composition. It focuses on the implications and management of early loss of primary teeth, including potential space loss, crowding, and occlusal disruption depending on factors like age, existing crowding, and tooth type. It also discusses balancing and compensating extractions of primary teeth to preserve arch symmetry and occlusion, as well as the use of space maintainers following early tooth loss. Prolonged retention of primary teeth can occur due to failure of the permanent successor to resorb the primary tooth root or due to conditions like impaction or agenesis of the permanent tooth.
This document discusses bracket positioning gauges and techniques for proper bracket placement. It describes:
1. Types of bracket positioning gauges including star shaped and straight rod shaped gauges.
2. Parts of gauges including the holding arm, tooth supporting arm, and slot supporting arm.
3. Correct positioning of gauges which should be perpendicular to the tooth surface to ensure accurate bracket height.
4. Techniques for placing brackets on individual tooth types from different clinician positions to accurately assess bracket alignment.
bracket positioning for smile arc protectionMaherFouda1
1. SAP (smile arc protection) bracket positioning individualizes bracket placement to each patient's esthetic needs and protects or enhances their smile arc. It generally positions upper incisor brackets more gingivally than canine brackets.
2. Bracket positioning affects wire plane, occlusal plane, and proclination of anterior teeth. More gingival placement of upper brackets creates a divergent wire plane to extrude incisors and rotate the occlusal plane clockwise, improving smile arc and display. It also engages torques earlier to upright proclined teeth.
3. Factors like occlusal plane steepness, arch width, and tooth shapes can make achieving a
This document discusses Class II division II malocclusion, which is characterized by retroclined upper incisors and the lower first molar occluding distal to the upper first molar. It may be due to dental causes like mesial drift of the upper teeth, or skeletal causes such as mandibular deficiency or maxillary excess. Treatment involves growth modification with appliances like headgear or functional appliances for skeletal discrepancies in growing patients. Dental camouflage through orthodontics can treat mild cases, while orthognathic surgery may be needed for more severe skeletal discrepancies. Soft tissue limitations must also be considered during treatment.
1. Proper bracket placement is important for achieving optimal orthodontic treatment outcomes. Key factors include positioning brackets at the facial axis point and aligning them along the Andrews plane.
2. The mesiodistal position of brackets varies slightly between tooth types. For example, canine brackets are placed slightly more mesial to account for their morphology.
3. Modifications to the standard mesiodistal positioning may be needed for rotated or substituted teeth. The goal is to place brackets in positions that will help correct rotations and achieve ideal functional and aesthetic results.
Development of normal dentition and occlusionMaherFouda1
This document discusses the development of primary dentition in infants and young children. It describes the gum pads that cover the alveolar processes at birth and how they segment as the primary teeth develop. It outlines the chronology of calcification and eruption of the primary teeth. It also examines changes in dental arch dimensions during development, including increases in width, length, and circumference. The relationship between primary teeth and the transition to permanent dentition is explored.
This document discusses various classifications of malocclusions. It begins by describing individual tooth malpositions, malrelations between dental arches, and skeletal malocclusions. It then covers Angle's classification system and modifications by Dewey and Lischer. Angle's system categorizes malocclusions based on the relationship of the maxillary first molar to the mandibular arch. It identifies Classes I, II, and III malocclusions. Dewey and Lischer further expanded these classifications to account for additional factors such as individual tooth positions. The document also defines specific types of individual tooth malpositions.
This document provides an overview of various classifications of malocclusion. It begins by dividing malocclusions into three broad categories: individual tooth malpositions, malrelation of dental arches, and skeletal malocclusions. It then discusses Angle's classification system in detail, which divides malocclusions into Classes I, II, and III based on the relationship of the maxillary and mandibular first molars. The document also discusses modifications to Angle's classification by Dewey and others. It provides examples to illustrate different types of individual tooth malpositions, arch malrelations, and skeletal malocclusions.
Management of the developing dentition 1MaherFouda1
This document discusses the management of anomalies affecting the developing dentition, including early loss of primary teeth and prolonged retention of primary teeth. It describes factors that influence space loss following early primary tooth loss, such as age, existing crowding, and tooth type. Balancing and compensating extractions are discussed as ways to preserve arch symmetry and occlusal relationships. The use of space maintainers to preserve arch length and symmetry is also covered. Prolonged retention of primary teeth can be caused by crowding, an ectopic position of the permanent successor, or agenesis of the permanent tooth. Treatment depends on the condition and position of the permanent successor.
The use of microimplants in orthodonticsMaherFouda1
1) TAD mechanics provide rigid anchorage, allowing for tooth movement that would otherwise be difficult or impossible with conventional orthodontics.
2) Key characteristics of TAD mechanics include using rigid anchorage to move teeth intrusively or distally with high efficiency.
3) The clinical significance is that TADs allow for easy anchorage preparation, more efficient treatment, and an expanded range of possible tooth movements like molar intrusion.
This document discusses orthodontic considerations for patients with medical disorders. It emphasizes the importance of thoroughly understanding a patient's medical conditions and medications before providing treatment. A comprehensive medical history should be obtained and updated regularly. Conditions discussed in detail include cardiovascular disorders like infective endocarditis, hematological disorders like bleeding disorders and sickle cell anemia, respiratory disorders like asthma and cystic fibrosis, neurological disorders like epilepsy and multiple sclerosis, hepatic disorders like hepatitis, renal disorders, endocrine disorders like diabetes, musculoskeletal disorders, allergies, and side effects of medications. Specific orthodontic precautions are outlined for each condition.

- It defines mini-implants as temporary anchorage devices (TADs) that are temporarily fixed to bone to enhance orthodontic anchorage. It discusses their parts including the head, core, and threads. Mini-implants come in various diameters and thread lengths depending on the insertion site.
- The document covers mini-implant design features, insertion techniques including drill-free versus predrilling methods, factors
This document discusses the use of fluoridated elastic chains in orthodontic treatment to help prevent dental caries. It summarizes several studies that found fluoridated elastic chains initially release high levels of fluoride that decrease over time, but provide continuous low-level fluoride release. While fluoride chains showed greater force degradation than conventional chains, increasing the initial extension can compensate. A clinical study found patients using fluoridated chains had less enamel decalcification compared to a control group. Stretching fluoridated chains increases the amount of fluoride released by around 7%.
Correlation between malocclusion and TMDMaherFouda1
This document discusses the relationship between temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) and dental occlusion. While some studies have found associations between certain malocclusions and TMD, the majority fail to find significant or consistent correlations. No single occlusal factor appears to be the predominant cause of TMD. The hypothesis that dental occlusion is the sole or primary cause of TMD has not been supported. More research is still needed to fully understand the relationship between malocclusion and TMD.
Clinical examples of microimplant anchorageMaherFouda1
This document outlines different orthodontic treatment techniques using microimplants including:
1. Low, medium, and high pull mechanics for different classes of malocclusion and types of tooth movement like molar uprighting and intrusion.
2. Case studies describing microimplant placement, mechanics used, and treatment results for patients with issues like midline deviation and lip protrusion.
3. Details on microimplant placement locations, types of mechanics, and how treatment addressed open bites, deep bites, crowding, and gummy smiles.
This document provides an overview of dental implants, including their history, types, biomaterials used, and applications in orthodontics. It discusses how dental implants originated in ancient civilizations and have evolved to include endosseous, subperiosteal, and transosseous implants made of materials like titanium. Mini-implants were later developed for orthodontic anchorage and are placed using direct or indirect methods. Dental implants and mini-implants provide effective anchorage for difficult orthodontic tooth movements.
Orthodontic correction of early class iii with miniplatesMaherFouda1
1. The document discusses the use of miniplates and screws as temporary skeletal anchorage to facilitate orthodontic tooth movement, such as maxillary protraction.
2. It describes the surgical placement of miniplates on the zygomatic buttress of the maxilla through small incisions and fixation with screws.
3. It then details a case study of a young girl who underwent maxillary protraction for 6 months using elastics attached to miniplate hooks, resulting in significant correction of her Class III malocclusion.
Biomechanical considerations in microimplantsMaherFouda1
The document discusses various biomechanical considerations for using microimplants in orthodontic tooth movement. It describes how the placement location and height of microimplants, as well as the force applied, can be used to produce different types of tooth movement. Specifically, it discusses how low-, medium-, and high-pull microimplant mechanics can be used to control the rotation of the maxillary and mandibular occlusal planes during anterior retraction. It also describes how microimplants can enable intrusion of anterior and posterior teeth as well as other tooth movements.

Orthodontic correction of occlusal plane canting part 1

Orthodontic correction of
occlusal-plane canting
Part 1
2. Occlusal-plane canting is a challenging problem for
orthodontists because it cannot be solved easily without
surgical intervention. Normally, a LeFort I osteotomy and
concomitant mandibular surgery is used to correct the
problem, even in patients with mild facial asymmetry but
with noticeable occlusal-plane canting.
Patients illustrating a maxillary cant with
the use of a tongue spatula.
3. The cant of the occlusal plane in the frontal plane can be the result of skeletal
asymmetry of the jaw bones or the asymmetric vertical position of anterior
or posterior teeth. Before the advent of skeletal anchorage in orthodontics,
the correction of occlusal-plane canting had only limited indications, whether
the origin was skeletal or dental. Therefore, surgery was considered the only
method for correcting this problem. However, skeletal anchorage has made
possible true intrusion of molars, which was difficult with conventional
orthodontic means. Moreover, it is now possible to correct occlusal-plane
canting by controlling the vertical position of the molars
4. A , The pupillary and ear planes can usually be used as horizontal references. A perpendicular plane
through nasion can be helpful in assessing the left-to-right facial asymmetry. The asymmetry is
usually the least at the cranial base area and the greatest at the mandible and chin area, as seen in
this 45-year-old woman with a right mandibular condylar osteochondroma. B , Evaluate the smile.
This may emphasize the asymmetry. PP , Pupillary plane; EP , ear plane; Com , commissure plane; OP
, occlusal plane; IB , inferior border of mandible; FM , facial midline plane; CM , chin midline. C , The
profile view is helpful to determine AP and vertical facial balance. CFH , Clinical Frankfort horizontal
plane; SNP , subnasale perpendicular plane. D , A tongue blade placed transversely across the
occlusion demonstrates the vertical asymmetry and cant in the occlusal plane. E , The occlusion is
evaluated for vertical, transverse and AP asymmetry including midlines, cross-bites, occlusal cant,
open bites, yaw, and so on. UIM , Upper incisor midline; LIM , lower incisor midline
Diagnosis of occlusal canting in facial asymmetry
5. It was reported that all people have some craniofacial asymmetry, even in
esthetically normal or pleasing faces. In addition, an occlusal cant in most
normal patients might be too small to detect. Patients often recognize their
occlusal canting as being unpleasant esthetically when there is a discrepancy
in parallelism between the lip line and the occlusal plane
(a) Significant asymmetry of the lower face, with the mandible and chin point to the patients left, and transverse cant of the
rima oris (opening of the mouth) (left and right commissures at different vertical levels) and the inferior chin plane. (b)
Transverse cant of the maxillary
occlusal plane evident, canted down on the patient’s right. (c) Inferior view highlights asymmetry of the chin and lower lip in
relation to the upper lip. (d) Dental mirror handle held against the maxillary dentition demonstrates a transverse cant in
relation to
the interpupillary plane.
Diagnosis of occlusal canting in facial asymmetry
6. Measurement of occlusal cant in the maxilla. A, The magnitude
of occlusal cant by measuring the degree of canting relative to
the true horizontal. The reference lines for determining the cant
are as follows: a true horizontal represented by a tangent to the
normal
supraorbital rims (1) and a vertical line drawn through the crista
galli and upper third of the nasal septum (2). The degree of cant
is determined
with respect to the true horizontal. On this AP cephalogram, the
degree of canting of the occlusal plane was 6 degrees. B, The
magnitude
of occlusal cant can be measured by evaluating the medial
canthus-canine distance. In the patient above, the medial
canthus to right canine
distance was 62 mm; the distance to the left canine was 56 mm,
for a total vertical discrepancy of 6 mm.
Padwa et al reported that 4° is the threshold for
recognizing an occlusal cant. However, they measured
occlusal-plane canting from a horizontal line connecting
the supraorbital rim.
Diagnosis of occlusal canting in facial asymmetry
7. In some patients with vertical asymmetry of the right and left posterior teeth
without anterior occlusal-plane canting, the occlusal canting becomes obvious
after orthodontic leveling. Facial asymmetry that is too minimal for
orthognathic surgery but accompanies recognizable occlusal canting can be
corrected by skeletal anchorage-reinforced orthodontic treatment. However,
few biomechanical systems use skeletal anchorage to correct occlusal canting.
8. Fushima et al. (1989) examined
the vertical height of right and left posterior
teeth in cases with mandibular asymmetry by
the use of P-A cephalograms, and revealed that
the vertical height of posterior teeth on the
suppressed side of the mandible was lower than
contralateral teeth. These findings suggest that
occlusal deviations are related to facial growth.
9. In orthodontic diagnosis, the occlusal plane
represented by a line drawn from the midpoint
of the upper and lower central incisor edges to
the occlusal surface of the upper and lower first
molars on the lateral cephalogram should be
carefully evaluated. The cant of the occlusal
plane must relate to the sagittal inclination of
the condylar path and the guidance of lingual
concavity of the upper incisor (Dawson, 1989).
10. Sagittal condylar inclination is
defined as the angle between the protrusive path of
the condyle and usually the Frankfort horizontal, or
any other horizontal reference plane, such as in the
current study’s Camper’s plane.
Camper’s Plane •“A plane established by the inferior
border of the right or left ala of the nose and the

/or (b)orthodontic cheek retractors,and(c) with placement of a

13. UNILATERAL INTRUSION (VERTICAL
ASYMMETRY CORRECTION)
Clinical objective
• Asymmetrical intrusion of the maxillary or mandibular
teeth to level the occlusal plane and smile line.
Skeletal anchorage can be used in
patients with occlusal canting to reduce
the need for orthognathic surgery.
14. Treatment options
• Unilateral mini-implant intrusion, except where
contra-indicated in patients with a Class III skeletal
pattern or reduced lower anterior face height.
• Conventional anchorage involving asymmetric headgear.
• Hybrid functional (orthopaedic) appliance, but with a
reliance on asymmetric extrusive changes.
• Asymmetrical orthognathic surgical movements.
ACTIVATOR HEADGEAR
15. Relevant clinical details
• Unilateral or even bilateral asymmetric intrusion is
ideal for those patients with a predominantly vertical
asymmetry accompanied by an average or increased
maxillo-mandibular angle and Class II features. Full
bilateral treatment involves intrusion of teeth in
diagonally opposing quadrants (e.g. upper right and
lower left quadrants).
Class II malocclusion with accentuated occlusal
plane
inclination corrected with miniplate: a case report
Dental Press J Orthod. 2016 May-June;21(3):94-103
16. Relevant clinical details
• The incisor relationship (overjet, overbite).
• The maxillary and mandibular occlusal planes and
whether an occlusal cant is present.
• The upper incisors’ vertical display (on both passive
and smiling exposure) and the smile arc.
17. Biomechanical principles
• Simultaneous buccal and palatal mini-implant
anchorage in the maxillary arch ensures true vertical
movements within a quadrant, and avoids transverse
side-effects or the need for a modified TPA (which
allows differential molar movements). Since lingual
insertion sites have a low success rate then
mandibular intrusion utilises buccal mini-implants
only and requires transverse control using a full fixed
appliance.
18. • The mini-implants should be vertically positioned in
relatively apical sites, such that the buccal one is
Biomechanical principles
close to, or at the, muco-gingival junction. This
provides an adequate distance for effective traction,
especially as the adjacent teeth intrude towards the
implant head.
• Unilateral intrusion forces should be applied with a
rigid (0.019 × 0.025) steel archwire in place.
19. Simultaneous buccal and palatal mini-implant
anchorage in the maxillary arch ensures true
vertical movements within a quadrant, and avoids
transverse side-effects.
20. Clinical tips and technicalities
• Consider removal of erupted third molars
(prior to
orthodontics) in the quadrant(s) where molar
intrusion is required.
• Bond the second molars, where erupted, in
the
quadrant requiring intrusion.
• In vertical correction cases, monitor the
occlusal
plane by measuring the overbite involving the
incisors and canine teeth, and their vertical
display
relative to the lip level. Also, monitor lateral
openbites and hence the need for extrusion of
the
opposing teeth or additional intrusion in the
diagonally opposite quadrant.
21. Mid-treatment problems and solutions
• Vertical side-effects such as a rollercoaster buckling
of the arch and lateral openbite:
Ensure that the second molars are bonded when
fully erupted.
Avoid the application of traction with a flexible
archwire in situ.
Vertical settling elastics may be used to close a
lateral openbite by extrusion of the opposing arch.
The elastics may be connected either to the
mini-implant anchored teeth or directly to the
mini-implant head. The latter avoids any risk of
extrusive relapse of the intruded teeth.
22. The roller coaster effect is observed when a wire of low
strength such as NiTi is used for canine retraction
NiTi deos not have the strength to remain rigid when a retracting force such as an elastic chain is
stretched from the molar to the canine.
The molar and premolar crowns tend to tip mesially and extrude distally.
The flexible Niti then bends gingivally and as a result tends to tip the canine crown distally .
The orientation of the canine bracket when the crowns tips distally tends to extrude the
incisors and deepen the bite
In short ,the canine occlusal plane goes for a toss and when we follow the occlusal plane from
the right molar to the left molar it resembles a roller coaster and hence the name is used
23. Clinical steps for unilateral intrusion
Pre-insertion
1. Determine the insertion sites, e.g. a buccal one between
the maxillary premolars and a palatal one
between the molars, prior to bond-up. The insertion of both
buccal and palatal mini-implants in the same
interproximal space should be avoided. Instead, the palatal
mini-implant should be in a more distal site
than the buccal one, since more molar interproximal space
is available on the palatal aspect.
2. This pre-planning enables active divergence of adjacent
premolar roots to be undertaken, to allow for
both ease of buccal mini-implant insertion and subsequent
vertical tooth movements. For example,
diverge the premolar roots by adding mesial and distal tip
to the first and second premolar brackets,
respectively. Remember that these tip alterations can
readily be corrected at the treatment finishing
stage.
24. Insertion timing
Determine this relative to the fixed appliance bond-up, by deciding
how much arch alignment is appropriate before mini-implant
insertion. Crucially, if there is insufficient interproximal space at the
planned insertion site then consider a preliminary phase of fixed
appliance treatment in order to diverge the roots and hence facilitate
mini-implant insertion . This is achieved by bonding the bracket(s)
with a modified tip, especially adding mesial tip to the normal second
premolar bracket orientation . Indeed, I routinely perform this step
prior to the majority of buccal insertions since it is a simple process
which can make mini-implant treatment much easier. The bracket
position is then corrected during the fixed appliance finishing stage
(after explantation). Furthermore, it may be biomechanically
beneficial to align the full arch such that it is ready to accommodate a
rigid (e.g. 0.019 × 0.025 stainless steel) archwire and powerarm by the
time of mini-implant insertion. This helps with sliding mechanics and
the reduction of unfavourable vertical side-effects.

26. Clinical steps for unilateral intrusion
Pre-insertion
3. Align and level the whole arch or initially only the segment(s) due for
intrusion. This depends on whether
there is a vertical discrepancy between the anterior and posterior teeth,
where a large step favours
segmental mechanics; whilst the risk of occlusal interferences from
displaced anterior teeth necessitates
full arch alignment.
4. Expand the maxillary arch where necessary to facilitate arch coordination
(following subsequent
mandibular autorotation).
27. Clinical steps for unilateral intrusion
Pre-insertion
5. Include bonded tubes on the second molars, if fully erupted, early in
treatment. If the second molars are
not fully erupted then do not bond them during initial alignment. Remember
to avoid molar bands in order
to facilitate effective gingival hygiene at the posterior limit of the dental
arch where a reduction in crown
height may occur and toothbrush access is most limited.
6. Once a 0.019 × 0.025 NiTi archwire has been inserted then book two
clinical appointments if a stent is to
be fabricated (which is especially valuable for palatal site guidance).
28. Clinical steps for unilateral intrusion
Pre-insertion
7. At the preparatory appointment take an alginate impression
for a guidance stent if desired. Palatal stents
do not require an accurate buccal alveolar impression, but
remember not to wax out the brackets adjacent
to a buccal insertion site.
8. Take periapical radiographs or a sectional CBCT to evaluate
the positions of the roots adjacent to the
insertion sites, either at the preparatory stage (when stent
usage is planned) or at the start of the
insertion appointment.

29. Mini-implant selection
9. Maxilla: use 1.5 mm diameter, 9 mm length mini-implants (for
Infinitas), with short and long necks on the
buccal and palatal alveolar sides, respectively. However, if the palatal
tissues are particularly thick or the
patient is still undergoing considerable somatic growth, then a 2 mm
diameter version may be indicated to
give maximum primary stability without relying on full depth intra-bony
insertion.
10. Mandible: body length selection depends on the anticipated cortical
depth and density such that a long
length (9 mm) version is preferable for adolescent patients, where the
cortical bone is immature. An
Infinitas 1.5 mm diameter, 6 mm length, short neck version may be used
in an adult.
30. Insertion
11. Superficial anaesthesia of the insertion sites, e.g. blanch the
overlying mucosal area with a local
anaesthetic injection, especially in the palatal site, although topical
anaesthetic alone may be sufficient in
the buccal site.
12. Fit the stent (where applicable).
13. Use a mucosal punch for palatal insertions. Temporarily remove
any stent, after the surface has been
marked with it in situ, so that the mucotome can be applied
perpendicular to the surface, providing a
clean cut of the tissue. If necessary, then remove the mucosal tissue
with a mosquito forceps and/or
Mitchell’s trimmer.
31. 14. In adults, use a cortical bone punch to perforate the relatively
dense thick palatal and mandibular cortex.
15. Insert buccal and palatal maxillary, and buccal mandibular mini-
implants, according to the treatment plan.
Remember to use a speed-reducing (e.g. 128:1 ratio) contra-angle
handpiece at less than 100 rpm for
palatal sites.
16. The buccal insertion sites should be at or close to the muco-
gingival junction and the vertical angle of
insertion should be perpendicular to the bone. These details enable
reliable attachment of the traction and
a maximum range of intrusion movement.

32. 17. Take an intra-oral radiograph if close root proximity is
clinically suspected (due to pain sensation on
percussion of an adjacent tooth).
18. Complete insertion to the point that the mini-implant
neck is partially submerged but the head is fully
accessible.
33. Post-insertion
19. Insert a 0.019 × 0.025 steel archwire.
20. Bond attachments (buttons or cleats) to the palatal
surfaces of the crowns adjacent to any palatal
mini-implants.
21. Apply approximately 50 g (elastomeric chain) traction
for the first four to six weeks. This utilises the
palatal attachments and the simplest configuration is a
‘V’ one, where the traction component’s ends are
attached to the teeth and its mid-section engages the
mini-implant head.
34. On the buccal side, the traction
may be applied directly to the adjacent brackets or around the
archwire. Following the initial healing
period, stronger (150–200 g) elastomeric or closing coil
auxiliary traction should be used.
35. 22. Monitor treatment progress by
recording the following features at the
start of intrusion and at subsequent
appointments: overjet, AOB/overbite,
canine relationship, the upper incisor
display (at rest and on full
smiling), occlusal cant and presence of
any molar openbite.
23. Monitor the periodontal condition
(probing depth) of the terminal molars.
36. 24. Consider over-correction of the
intrusion changes to allow for possible
relapse and/or keep the miniimplants
in situ until it is clear that further
anchorage is not required.
25. Consider an initially intensive
retention regimen, e.g. three months
full-time wear of plastic retainers with
whole arch occlusal coverage. These
should prevent early molar extrusion
after debond.
37. UNILATERAL INTRUSION EXAMPLE
• A 28 year old female presenting with a Class II division 2 malocclusion on a skeletal I base with
an average
MMPA . She had predominantly vertical dentofacial asymmetry with the maxillary plane
canted downwards on the left side and more gingival display on this side on full smiling (although
she
camouflaged this by habitually smiling by only a limited extent). All first premolars plus a lower
incisor were
absent, and unsuccessful surgical recontouring of the maxillary gingival margin had previously
been
performed.
( a–c) Pre-treatment views where the patient’s habitual smile camouflages her vertical maxillary cant and gingival
level asymmetry. The Class II division 2 malocclusion is shown with absence of upper first premolars and a lower
incisor
38. UNILATERAL INTRUSION EXAMPLE
The maxillary arch was levelled and aligned to
accommodate a 0.019 × 0.025 steel archwire.
d–h) Left-sided intrusion commences with a 0.019 × 0.025 steel archwire in situ. Elastomeric traction
is applied to the brackets
and palatal cleats from mini-implants sited buccal and mesial to the maxillary left first molar, and
palatal and distal to this first
molar
39. A 1.5 diameter, 9 mm length mini-implant was then
inserted on both sides of the left maxillary alveolus:
mesio-buccal and disto-palatal to the first molar (Figs
10.3f–h). Elastomeric traction was applied buccally to
the upper left premolar bracket and molar tube, and
palatally to buttons on the palatal surfaces of the
molars.
40. Both the malocclusion and smile aesthetics were improved
by five months of intrusion prior to bonding the
lower fixed appliance . Notably there was more vertical
clearance for the left molars, although
it appeared that these may have undergone some
compensatory eruption.
(i–k) the maxillary cant is levelling and the lower arch is being aligned, with relatively gingival
bracket positions in the
lower left quadrant to assist with vertical compensation and overbite reduction.
41. After a further four months the maxillary and
mandibular planes and smile line were level .
Intrusion was continued for some over-correction
and any consequent left lateral openbite would be
corrected by lower left molar elastic extrusion
(given the originally deep overbite).
42. CENTRELINE CORRECTION EXAMPLE
This 27 year old female presented with a Class II division 2
malocclusion on a mild skeletal II base.
She had transverse skeletal asymmetry with the chin point
displaced to the left side (without a
functional displacement) and a subtle degree of vertical
asymmetry (occlusal cant slightly higher on the left
side).
43. The upper incisor–lip relationship was aesthetically satisfactory. The upper right
canine and the first
premolars from the other three quadrants were absent. The upper and lower
dental centrelines were
displaced to the right and left sides, respectively, and the buccal segments
exhibited similar asymmetry,
including a ¾ unit Class II relationship of the left canines.

Class II malocclusion

44. CENTRELINE CORRECTION EXAMPLE
Both arches were initially levelled and aligned. The left Class
II canine relationship, deep overbite and lower
centreline problems were additionally corrected by the use of
pushcoil to re-open the lower left first
premolar space.
(e–g) The lower
left premolar space has re-opened during alignment and lower centreline correction. Upper posterior and lower anterior miniimplants
are being used for upper centreline correction and lower molar protraction, respectively. Indirect anchorage is used to
provide a horizontal vector of traction from a 0.019 × 0.025 steel auxiliary wire (connected vertically between the archwire and
mini-implant head).
45. This was followed by asymmetrical traction, predominantly
Class III elastics on the right side, although a
small residual centreline discrepancy was accepted due to
tooth size discrepancies .

miniscrews to
correct occlusal-plane canting

47. A biomechanical system was developed called
“rhythmic wire,” which consists of 2 miniscrews (on the
maxillary and mandibular teeth), intrusion wire,
extrusion wire, transpalatal arch, and lingual arch. This
report presents the use of this method in 2 patients for
correcting the occlusal cant to avoid or minimize
orthognathic surgery
48. Rhythmic wire
Rhythmic wire was initially developed to control the vertical position of the
posterior teeth and consists of intrusion rhythmic wire and corresponding
extrusion rhythmic wire. In addition, a transpalatal arch or a lingual arch can be
applied if there is a need to control the third-order torque of posterior teeth
that face an intrusion or extrusion force. Rhythmic wire can also be a good
option for patients with palatally or lingually tipped posterior teeth because
buccal tipping of the teeth can occur without a transpalatal or lingual arch.
Intrusion rhythmic wire: upper, schematic diagram of the
intrusion rhythmic wire; lower, after placemen
49. The intrusion wire is formed with 0.019 × 0.025-in beta-titanium alloy
straight wire of appropriate length (usually the length between the
first premolar and the second molar) with hooks on each end for
engagement to the main archwire
Intrusion rhythmic wire: upper, schematic diagram of the
intrusion rhythmic wire; lower, after placemen
50. If a decrease in the intrusion force is required, the size of wire can be reduced,
or helices can be included. There is no consensus on the optimal force for the
intrusion of teeth, but there appears to be some accord between researchers
that posterior teeth require more force than anterior teeth. Kalra et al used 90
g of force per posterior tooth, Park et al suggested 150 to 200 g, Umemori et al
recommended 500 g, and Melsen and Fiorelli used 50 g buccolingually per
posterior tooth. The intrusion wire is placed on the vestibular side of the
miniscrew, which is generally placed between the second premolar and the
first molar, and each end is activated to engage the main archwire .
Intrusion rhythmic wire: upper, schematic diagram of the
intrusion rhythmic wire; lower, after placemen
51. The point where the hooks of the intrusion rhythmic wire engage
depend on the clinical need; this means that the clinician can choose the
site to apply the force and change the site by adjusting the intrusion wire
without replacing the miniscrew. The miniscrew should have an undercut
in its head design to place the intrusion wire, and an elastomeric ring can
be used to secure the intrusion wire to the miniscrew.
Intrusion rhythmic wire: upper, schematic diagram of the
intrusion rhythmic wire; lower, after placemen
52. The extrusion rhythmic wire, which is placed on the opposite dentition, is
made from stainless steel wire (or cobalt-chromium wire with heat
treatment) in a clover-like form . An indentation is prepared on the top half
circle (vestibular side) to accept the miniscrew head, and each root (occlusal
side) has a hook for attachment to the main archwire.

53. Activation is achieved by manipulation of the horizontal loops. A
smaller force than for intrusion is sufficient for extrusion of the teeth.
However, to prevent deformation of the wire, its size should be
greater than 0.016 in, and stainless steel wire is recommended.
Helices or loops can be added to reduce the force .
54. Modifications of the rhythmic wire: left, a helix was included in the
intrusion wire to reduce the force; right, loops were added to the
extrusion wire to reduce the force
The intrusion and extrusion rhythmic wires should be used
simultaneously to maintain the integrity of the occlusal contacts. In
addition, the position of the hooks is determined by the clinical situation
55. The extrusion or intrusion of molars from the buccal side can cause buccal or
lingual crown tipping, which is generally undesirable. To minimize this tipping, a
transpalatal or lingual arch can be applied with a rectangular lingual sheath to
the active (extrusion or intrusion) side, and a round sheath can be applied to
the other side, as described by Rebellato. Also, full alignment, leveling, and
space consolidation are recommended before applying a rhythmic wire, and
the main archwire should be rectangular stainless steel for more predictable
and easy control of the posterior quadrant
56. Patient 1
A 20-year-old woman was referred from a local dental clinic complaining of masticatory
problems on the left side. The intraoral features showed moderate crowding of her maxillary
dentition, an anterior edge-to-edge bite, and a posterior crossbite on the left side . The
occlusal relationship was Class II molar and Class I canine on her right side, and Class III molar
and canine on her left side . Her maxillary right posterior teeth were positioned vertically low
compared with the left side . After reviewing her condition, she was diagnosed with skeletal
Class III facial asymmetry and a canted posterior occlusal plane.
57. Her skeletal problems were mild, and she did not require facial changes. She refused
surgery and also declined treatment accompanying the extraction of her premolars. The
treatment plan was established to distalize the maxillary right posterior and mandibular
left posterior teeth with miniscrews to resolve the crowding and correct the occlusal
relationships with rhythmic wire

and right sides; middle and lower rows, application of the rhythmic wire system
58. After distalization of the molars, aligning and leveling were performed. The leveling procedure
unmasked the posterior occlusal canting and showed an apparent difference in the gingivae
between the left and right sides while smiling . It was decided to intrude the maxillary right
posterior teeth because of the excessive gingival display on the right side. Miniscrews were placed
between the maxillary right second premolar and molar, and between the mandibular right
second premolar and molar. An intrusion rhythmic wire was placed on the maxillary right
posterior teeth, and an extrusion wire was placed on the mandibular right posterior teeth. In
addition, a transpalatal arch and a lingual arch with a rectangular lingual sheath were applied on
the right side, and a round sheath was used on the left to control the inclination of the teeth
59. The occlusal cant was corrected by the intrusion of the maxillary right posterior teeth. Finishing and
detailing of the occlusion was then performed, and the intruded maxillary right posterior teeth
were maintained with wire ligation to the miniscrew. After removing the appliances, a canine-to-
canine lingual bonded retainer was placed in the maxilla, and a wraparound retainer was used for
the mandible. Superimposition of pretreatment and posttreatment lateral cephalogms showed
reductions of the difference in vertical height of the right and left molars .

difference in vertical height of the molars was reduced mainly by intrusion without remarkable changes in the mandibular position
60. Distalization of the molars and leveling took 15 months, correction of the
occlusal cant with rhythmic wires took 9 months, and finishing took 4 months.
Overall, the total active treatment period was 28 months
61. PATIENT 2
A22-year-old womanvisited the orthodontic department
of Kyunghee University complaining of crowding
of her maxillary teeth and protrusion of her lips. The intraoral
examination showed maxillary and mandibular
anterior crowding, and the facial examination showed
a canted occlusal plane with asymmetric elevation of the
right and left corners of the mouth during smiling that
exaggerated the occlusal canting (Figs 7 and 8).

of the extraction site with retraction of the anterior
teeth, rhythmic wire was applied to the right side of her
dentition. The application side was determined by the

treatment duration was 18 months, which included 12
months for aligning, leveling, and anterior retraction; 4
months for correcting the canting; and 2months for detailing.

69. The correction of a canted occlusal plane is easily obtained with the mini-screws as skeletal
anchorage. The miniscrew is used as anchorage to intrude the extruded canines and the
laterals on the side of the cant. In this case the screw was centered between the roots of the
maxillary canine and first premolar (a). After correction of the occlusal plane and of the dental
midline (b).
The correction of a canted occlusal
plane is often considered
an impossible objective with traditional
orthodontic mechanics.
With the mini-screws as skeletal
anchorage this objective can be
achieved more predictably.
70. mini-screws are placed in between
the upper laterals and the
canines or in between the upper
canines and the bicuspids for the
maxillary arch and in between
the laterals and the canines for

71. The miniscrew
is used as anchorage to
intrude the extruded canines and
the laterals on the side of the
cant, and to center the dental
midline. During the
intrusive movements, it is very important
to center the mini-screws
in between the roots of the teeth
that need to be intruded in order
to avoid the interferences between
the teeth and the screw.

several significant changes in the occlusal plane inclination
due to oppositely guided intermaxillary elastics,
the induced shift with class II elastics was clockwise,

74. According to Burstone and Choy unwanted side effects will occur when
a continuous NiTi arch is used in a unilateral or bilateral high canine case.
They pointed out that the canine will be extruded but the posterior adjacent
teeth will be intruded and tip mesially and the anterior adjacent teeth will
be intruded and tip distally. They concluded that the intrusive force on the
premolar will finally produce a large counterclockwise rotation on the
ipsilateral molar which will tip the posterior teeth mesially.

adjacent teeth exist, but do not result in effect on the teeth due to the use of the
rigid arch).
76. After consistent alignment of the brackets and teeth is accomplished, a
straight 0.019 x 0.025-inch stainless steel rectangular wire should be fitted
into all brackets except the canine bracket. The heavy ground arch will be
bypassing the high canine which is aligned by a second „piggy-back“
continuous NiTi arch from the molar auxilliary tube to the contralateral
molar auxiliary tube.
77. The NiTi archwire should be tied initially only to the
canine and to the ground arch at the midline. Its force can be increased by
tying further distally on the anterior segment. Although anchorage should
be good with a stiff bypass arch , the extrusion force on the canine should
be kept low using a NiTi arch with small diameter like 0.010 in or 0.012 in

85. Therefore, the wire is not inserted
into the bracket slot where movement is desired. Should
the force produced by an activated cantilever (ranging
from 40 to 60 gf) be directed along the CRes of the
tooth, it will produce a translatory movement. Should it
bypass the CRes of the tooth (in most cases, it is applied
to the crown), it will result in a rotational tendency of
force due to the moment of force established

86. Conversely, given that the wire has been inserted
inside the bracket slot or tube, a force of equal intensity
and opposite direction is observed in the reactive member.
Similarly, a torque is produced inside the appliance
when the moment arm of the activated cantilever is
tied to the tooth to be moved. Such torque produces
movement that, in association with force, must be restricted
or reduced to nothing by reinforcing the anchorage
of the reactive member (for instance, by using a
palatal bar), so as to avoid side effects on the mechanics.

inclination corrected with miniplate: a case report
Marcel Marchiori Farret, Milton M. Benitez Farret
Dental Press J Orthod. 2016 May-June;21(3):94-103
The introduction of skeletal anchorage has increased
the number of treatment options for those cases with occlusal plane
inclination.
Mini-implants or miniplates may aid intrusion of a
group of teeth, either in the maxillary or mandibular
arches, without adverse effects while greatly reducing
total treatment time.
88. CASE REPORT
Diagnosis and etiology
A 29-year-old woman sought orthodontic treatment,
complaining about an unesthetic smile due to occlusal
plane inclination and midline deviation. This was caused
by absence of maxillary left lateral incisor and mandibular
left second premolar, with ankylosis of deciduous molar
in this region. Facial analysis revealed good symmetry and
vertical balance of the facial thirds, a convex profile, and
accentuated occlusion plane inclination in a smiling photograph.
89. Intraoral analysis revealed Angle Class II,
Division 1 malocclusion, with absence of maxillary left lateral
incisor, a peg-shaped maxillary right lateral incisor and
the presence of mandibular left deciduous ankylosed second
molar, which caused asymmetry on this side in both
maxillary and mandibular arches (Figs 2 and 3).
90. Maxillary
midline was deviated 2 mm to the left while mandibular
midline was deviated 2 mm to the right. Panoramic and
periapical radiographs confirmed the absence of maxillary
lateral incisor and mandibular second premolar and also
revealed mandibular teeth greatly inclined towards the ankylosed
deciduous molar. Initial lateral cephalogram and
cephalometric tracing revealed skeletal Class II malocclusion,
with upright maxillary incisors and well-positioned
mandibular incisors .
92. Treatment objectives
The objectives of treatment were as follows:
1. Correct occlusal plane inclination.
2. Obtain molar Class I relationship on the left side
and Class II on the right side.
3. Establish canine Class I relationship on both sides.
4. Correct midlines.
5. Extract deciduous molar and replace the tooth
with implant-prosthetic rehabilitation.
6. Open space in order to implant a prosthetic rehabilitation
of the maxillary left lateral incisor.
93. Orthognathic surgery was considered for occlusal
plane correction, but the patient refused this option.
Therefore, two other alternatives were considered
to correct Class II malocclusion and tooth absences.
The first option was to extract the maxillary right lateral
incisor, replace lateral incisors with canines, and
then replace canines with first premolars. This option
was rejected in a meeting with the dentist responsible
for the final rehabilitation.
94. The dentist believed that
the esthetic result would be better with implant-prosthetic
rehabilitation of the maxillary lateral incisor, as
maxillary canines had large crowns and were too different
in color, so as to be used as lateral incisors. The
second option was to extract maxillary right first premolar
and insert a mini-implant or miniplate on the
left side to move the maxillary right dentition posteriorly.
95. This option was rejected by the patient due to
longer treatment time required in comparison to that
for first premolar extraction to distalize all teeth. Thus,
in agreement with the patient and the other dentist, it
was decided to correct the occlusal plane by means of a
miniplate on the maxillary left side, extract the maxillary
right first premolar and open space for rehabilitation
of the maxillary left lateral incisor.
96. Treatment progress
Treatment began with the bonding of 0.022 × 0.028-in
standard Edgewise brackets on both arches, followed by
alignment and leveling with 0.012 and 0.014-in Nickel-
Titanium archwires and from 0.014-in to 0.020-in stainless
steel archwires. Thereafter, maxillary right first premolar
and mandibular left second deciduous molar were
extracted and maxillary anterior teeth were moved to the
right, tooth by tooth, with elastomeric chains, in order to
correct maxillary midline and open space, thus allowing
the insertion of an implant in the space left by the maxillary
left lateral incisor.
97. On the maxillary left side, after
correction of premolars rotation, a 2-mm space was created
and both premolar and canine were distalized with
elastomeric chains to increase the space for implantation
of the maxillary left lateral incisor prosthesis and to partially
correct Class II. On the mandibular arch, an implant
was inserted into the space of the missing premolar
to aid mandibular midline correction.
98. That implant
was positioned above the proper position, considering
that after occlusal plane correction with maxillary intrusion
and mandibular extrusion on this side, the implant
would be in adequate vertical position. Likewise,
the implant was positioned closer to the mandibular left
first molar and away from the left first premolar, thereby
allowing distalization of mandibular left molars and
distalization of mandibular anterior teeth, thus correcting
the midline.
99. After that, a miniplate in the shape of
an Y was inserted in left zygomatic buttress and used to
intrude all maxillary left teeth, with elastics connected to
0.019 × 0.025-in wire segments inserted into a tube and
connected to a miniplate, generating a force of 200 g/f
each .
100. Furthermore, the miniplate was used to distalize
all teeth on the left side, with elastomeric chains
connected to a hook welded between the lateral incisor
and canine, so as to correct Class II relationship. After
correction on the maxillary arch, the mandibular arch
was extruded with intermaxillary 1/8-in elastics connected
directly to the miniplate and on the mandibular
teeth and archwire (Fig 6).
(C and D) elastic mechanics employed to extruded mandibular left teeth,
101. E to G) after mandibular extrusion, (H to J) after miniplate
removal and during the finishing procedures.
102. In order to allow mandibular
teeth extrusion, the mandibular arch was made bypassing
the bracket of provisory crown over the implant.
At that time, the space for maxillary left lateral incisor
was already well defined and the implant was inserted.
Maxillary right lateral incisor was provisionally restored
with composite resin before appliance debonding, so as
to precisely define the spaces on the anterior region. After
34 months of treatment, the appliance was removed.
(C and D) elastic mechanics employed to extruded mandibular left teeth,
103. Treatment results
At the end of treatment, we noticed an improvement
in smile esthetics due to correction of occlusal plane
inclination and because the midlines were coincident
with the facial midline .
The profile remarkably
improved as a result of counterclockwise rotation of the
mandible, which reduced convexity, thus increasing the
prominence of lips and chin .
104. Intraoral and dental
casts analyses revealed that Class I molar relationship
on the left side, Class II molar relationship on the right
side and Class I canine relationship on both sides were
all obtained, with good intercuspation.
105. Panoramic radiograph showed good parallelism among
roots, in addition to root resorption on maxillary left
central incisor, which will be monitored after treatment.
Post-treatment lateral cephalogram, cephalometric
tracing and superimposition examinations confirmed
accentuated mandibular counterclockwise rotation
106. Furthermore, maxillary left molars were
intruded while mandibular molars were uprighted and
extruded. Maxillary and mandibular incisors were proclined
after treatment. The patient will be monitored
every six months in order to have root resorption and
treatment stability controlled.
