The document discusses various concepts and considerations for orthodontic treatment planning. It addresses topics such as developing a treatment plan in collaboration with the patient, decisions around arch expansion versus extraction for crowding, guidelines for extractions, and approaches for addressing skeletal problems like Class II and Class III malocclusions. Key points covered include the importance of patient input, debates around the limits of arch expansion and advantages of extractions, factors of stability and esthetics in treatment planning, and using growth modification or camouflage techniques to solve skeletal discrepancies.
2. TREATMENT PLANNING CONCEPTS
& GOALS
Comprehensive list of patient’s problems = Orthodontic Diagnosis
Pathological & Developmental problems separated
Objective = To design a strategy using best clinical judgement to address
the problems while maximizing benefit and minimizing cost & risk
Develop treatment plan in collaboration with patient
~~Hasanin alkendi~~
3.
MAJOR ISSUES IN PLANNING
TREATMENT
PATIENT INPUT
Modern planning = Interactive process
Doctor cannot decide in a paternalistic way
Patients & Parents must be involved in decision making process
Ethically, patients have right to control
“Treatment is something done for them….Not to them”
Informed concent~~Hasanin alkendi~~
4. DENTAL CROWDING : TO EXPAND or
EXTRACT
Two controversial aspects of current orthodontic treatment planning
The extent to which Arch Expansion versus Extraction is indicated as
solution for Crowding in Dental Arches
The extent to which Growth Modification versus Extraction for Camouflage
or Orthognathic Surgery should be considered as solution for Skeletal
Problems
~~Hasanin alkendi~~
5.
From beginning of Specialty, Debate on Limits of Expansion of Dental
Arches & advantages of Extraction of some Teeth to provide space for
others outweigh the Disadvantages
With Extraction, Loss of Tooth/Teeth is Disadvantage
Greater Stability of result is an Advantage
Maybe Positive or Negative effects on Facial Esthetics
Contemporary View : Majority of Orthodontic Patients should be treated
without removal of Teeth
Extraction to compensate for Crowding, Incisor Protrusion or Jaw
Discrepancy ~~Hasanin alkendi~~
6.
ESTHETIC CONSIDERATIONS
Major factors in Extraction Decisions = Stability & Esthetics
Expansion of arches moves the patient in direction of more prominent
teeth, while extraction tends to reduce prominence
Prominence of Incisors = Excessive Lip separation at rest
Nose - Chin relationship
For Best Esthetics = Lower Lip should be as prominent as chin
~~Hasanin alkendi~~
7.
STABILITY CONSIDERATIONS
For stable results how much arches have to be expanded
Lower arch is more constrained than the upper
Limitations for stable expansion maybe tighter than the upper
2mm Limitation for forward movement of Lower Incisors,
as Lip pressure increases 2mm out into space
Incisors Tipped Lingually away from Lip can be moved farther than Upright
Incisors
~~Hasanin alkendi~~
9.
More opportunity to expand Transversely than Anteroposteriorly – but
only distal to canines
Reports show that Expansion across the canines is never maintained,
especially in Lower Arch
Intercanine Dimensions decrease with age = Lip Pressure at corner of
Mouth
Expansion across Premolars & Molars is likely to be maintained = Low
Cheek Pressures
~~Hasanin alkendi~~
10.
One approach to Upper Arch Expansion is by Opening the
SMidpalataluture, if base is narrow !
Theory (with no supporting Evidence), upper arch expansion,
creating temporary Crossbite, Lower Arch follows Lead !!
Excessive Expansion carries Risk of Fenestration of Premolar &
Molar Roots through the Alveolar Bone
Increased Risk of Fenestration = Beyond 3mm of Transverse
Tooth movement
~~Hasanin alkendi~~
11.
Soft Tissue Limitation
Fenestration of Alveolar Bone & Stripping of Gingiva
Amount of Attached Gingiva = Critical Variable
Pre-treatment with Periodontist
~~Hasanin alkendi~~
12. CONTEMPORARY EXTRACTION
GUIDELINES
Contemporary orthodontic extraction guidelines in Class I Crowding
LESS THAN 4mm ARCH LENGTH DISCREPANCY:
Extraction rarely Indicated
Only if there is severe Incisor Protrusion
Severe Vertical Discrepancy
Some cases can be managed without Arch Expansion by slightly reducing
width of selected Teeth~~Hasanin alkendi~~
13.
ARCH LENGTH DISCREPANCY 5 to 9 mm :
Non Extraction or Extraction Treatment possible
Decision depends on both Hard & Soft Tissue Characteristics
Any of several Teeth can be chosen for Extraction
Non Extraction Treatment = Transverse Expansion across Premolars &
Molars
Additional Time if Posterior Teeth are to be moved Distally to increase
Arch Length
~~Hasanin alkendi~~
14.
ARCH LENGTH DISCREPANCY 10 mm OR more :
Extraction almost always required
Amount of Crowding equals the amount of Tooth Mass being Removed =
No effect on Lip support & Facial Appearance
Extraction choice is Four 1st Premolars or Upper 1st Premolars &
Mandibular Lateral Incisors
2nd Premolar or Molar Extraction rarely is satisfactory = No space near
crowded Anterior Teeth or Options to correct Midline
~~Hasanin alkendi~~
15.
Presence of Protrusion along with Crowding complicates the Extraction
decision
Retracting the Incisors to reduce Lip Prominence requires Space within the
Dental Arch
General Rule : Lips will move 2/3rd of distance that Incisors are retracted
~~Hasanin alkendi~~
16.
Retrospective Studies of Ex vs Non Ex cases = Highly variable changes
The idea that Extraction will lead to narrow Arch and Incisor Retraction & that Non
Extraction leads to Incisor Protrusion and Wider Arches is NOT WELL SUPPORTED
Final Set of Guidelines :
The more you can expand without moving Incisors forward = Satisfactory Treatment
The more you can Close Extraction spaces without over Retracting Incisors =
Satisfactory Treatment
Oral Health = Excessive Expansion increases risk of Mucogingival problems
Masticatory Function = Expansion or Extraction makes no difference
~~Hasanin alkendi~~
17.
SKELETAL PROBLEMS : GROWTH
MODIFICATION vs CAMOUFLAGE
If it were possible, Best way to correct Jaw Discrepancy is to get the patient to grow out of
it
Pattern of Facial Growth is established early in Life and it rarely changes
Important Q’s = Extent to which Growth can be Modified
Data from Randomized Clinical Trials for Class II Treatment outcomes are available
Skeletal Problems in other Planes of Space remain Controversial~~Hasanin alkendi~~
18.
TRANSVERSE MAXILLARY
DEFICIENCY
Close Relationship with Ex vs Non Ex decision
Child with Crowded teeth, a Diagnosis of Maxillary Deficiency can be a
convenient Rationale for Transverse Expansion to align teeth
Width of Maxillary Premolar teeth and Width of Palate = Methods to
Diagnose Maxillary Deficiency
Midpalatal Suture becomes more Tortous and Interdigitated with
increasing Age
~~Hasanin alkendi~~
19.
In a Child age 9, any Expansion Device (Lingual Arch), will separate the
Midpalatal Suture, also move the molar teeth
Adolescence, Heavy force from a rigid Jackscrew Device used for separation
(Microfracture
Maxilla opens like a Hinge superiorly, at base of Nose, also opens more
Anteriorly than Posteriorly
Heavy forces and Rapid Expansion should not be used in school children =
Risk of producing undesirable changes in nose at that age
After Adolescence = Bony spicule Interlocked Suture = Surgery
~~Hasanin alkendi~~
20. In Adolescents, Expansion across the Suture can be done in 3 ways :
I.
II.
III.
RAPID EXPANSION with jackscrew attached to Posterior Maxillary
Teeth, at rate of 0.5 to 1 mm/day
SLOW EXPANSION with same Device at rate of 1 mm per week
EXPANSION with a Device attached to Bone Screws or Implants
~~Hasanin alkendi~~
21.
RAPID PALATAL EXPANSION
Goal of Growth Modification = Maximize skeletal changes and Minimize the Dental Changes produced by Treatment
THEORY : Rapid Force application to Posterior Teeth = Not enough Time for Tooth Movement = Force will be
Transferred to Suture = Suture will open while Teeth move Minimally
RPE at rate of 0.5 to 1 mm/day
1 cm or more Expansion is obtained in 2 – 3 weeks
Most of movement being separation of two halves of Maxilla, Midline Diastema
Expansion device left in pace for 3 – 4 months for Stability
10 mm of Total Expansion = 8 mm of Skeletal Expansion & 2 mm of Dental Movement
After 4 Months ( 10 mm Total Expansion ) = 5 mm of Skeletal Expansion & 5 mm Tooth Movement
~~Hasanin alkendi~~
22.
SLOW PALATAL EXPANSION
0.5 mm per week
1 quarter turn of screw ( 0.25 mm ) every other day
Ratio of Dental to Skeletal Expansion is 1:1
Large Midline Diastema never appears
10 mm of Expansion over 10 week period = 5 mm of Dental & 5 mm of Skeletal Expansion
Overall result of Rapid vs Slow Expansion is similar
With SPE a more Physiologic Response is obtained
~~Hasanin alkendi~~
23.
CLASS II PROBLEMS
In 1990’s two major projects using clinical randomized trial methodology
were carried out in University of North Carolina & University of Florida,
both were supported by NIDCR
Data from Trials show 3 important things :
Children treated prior to Adolescence, had significant improvement in their
Jaw Relationships
Changes in Skeletal Relationships created during early treatment could be
reversed by Latter Compensatory Growth
At the end of comprehensive treatment during adolescence, no differences
between early patients and previously untreated controls
~~Hasanin alkendi~~
24.
CAMOUFLAGE BYTOOTH
MOVEMENT
Tooth Movement alone cannot correct Skeletal Malocclusion
If malocclusion is corrected and Facial Appearance is
Tacceptable then treatment outcomecan be
satisfactory, this is calledORTHODONTIC CAMOUFLAGE
Camouflage : Dental Occlusion + Facial Appearance
Camouflage means that Jaw Discrepancy is no longer apparent
~~Hasanin alkendi~~
25.
Following 3 patterns of Tooth Movement can be used to correct Class II
malocclusion
Combination of retraction of Upper teeth and forward movement of Lower
Teeth, without Extractions
Retraction of Maxillary Incisors into a Premolar Extraction Space
Distal Movement of Maxillary Molars and eventually the Entire Upper
Dental Arch
~~Hasanin alkendi~~
26.
NON EXTRACTION TREATMENT
WITH CLASS II ELASTICS
If Forward movement of Lower Arch can be accepted = Class II Malocclusion
can corrected using Class II Elastics
Almost always, Class II patients have Lower teeth normally positioned on the
mandible or Proclined to some extent
Result of Class II Elastics = Convex Profile with Protrusive Lower Incisors &
Prominent Lower Lip ==RELAPSE WAITING TO OCCUR
After Treatment Lip Pressure moves Lower Incisors Lingually = Incisor
Crowding
Return of Overjet and Overbite
~~Hasanin alkendi~~
27. RETRACTION OF UPPER INCISORS
INTO PREMOLAR EXTRACTION SPACE
Straightforward way to correct Excessive Overjet = Retract Protruding Incisors
in to Space created by Maxillary Premolar Extractions
Without Lower Extractions the patient would have a Class II molar relationship,
but normal Overjet and Canine relationship at the End
Temporary Skeletal Anchorage
If Mandibular 1st or 2nd Premolars are also Extracted = Class II Elastics can be
used to bring the Lower Molars Forward & Retract the upper Incisors,
correcting both Molar relationship and Overjet
Class II Malocclusion due to Mandibular Deficiency ??
TMJ Dysfunction ? ~~Hasanin alkendi~~
28.
DISTAL MOVEMENT OF UPPER
TEETH
If Upper Molars moved Posteriorly = correct a Class II Molar Relationship and
provide space into which other Maxillary Teeth could be Retracted
More Often Maxillary 1st Molars are Rotated Mesiolingually when a Class II
Molar relationship exists
Tipping the crowns Distally to gain space is difficult, and Bodily Movement is
Difficult Still
Until recently the Anchorage by Transpalatal Lingual Arch is accepted as the
Best way to undertake Distalization
Can be done Theoretically with a HEAD GEAR = Time Consuming & Excellent
patient compliance
~~Hasanin alkendi~~
29.
Palatal Anchorage for Molar Movement can be created by
Splinting the Maxillary Premolars & including an Acrylic
Pad in splint so it contacts the Palatal Mucosa
2/3rd of space which opens between Molar & Premolars is
from Distal movement of Molars
Tend to come forward again as rest of Maxillary Teeth are
Retracted so more than a half – cusp Molar correction
cannot be expected
Ideal Patient = Minimum Growth potential + Good Jaw
Relationship
~~Hasanin alkendi~~
30.
Temporary Skeletal Anchorage = Greatly improves Distal movement of
Maxillary Dentition
Space in Tuberosity region = Remove 3rd Molars
Bone Anchors placed Bilaterally in base of Zygomatic Arch or in the Palate,
Nickel Titanium spring generates force needed for Distalization
Bone Screws between Teeth prevent Distal Movement of Roots Mesial to
the screw
In some patients = 6 mm of Distal Movement of 1st & 2nd Molars
In addition the Premolars move back along with Molars ( Due to
SUPRACRESTAL FIBERS )
~~Hasanin alkendi~~
31. THE CAVEAT : (warning, Limitation)
If Class II Malocclusion is due to Maxillary Dental Protrusion,
moving upper teeth back is logical approach
But if there is Mandibular Deficiency, Retraction of Maxillary
Incisors after Distal movement of Molars & Premolars have same
Potential Problem as that with 1st Premolar Extraction
~~Hasanin alkendi~~
32.
SUMMARY
In the Absence of Favorable Growth, treating Class II is Difficult
Compromises have to be accepted in order to correct occlusion
Fortunately, even though Growth Modification cannot be expected to totally
correct an Adolescent Class II problem
Some Forward Movement of Mandible relative to Maxilla does contribute to
successful treatment
Rest of correction = Combination of Upper Incisor Retraction + Forward
movement of lower arch
When No Growth expected = Orthognathic Surgery
~~Hasanin alkendi~~
33.
CLASS III PROBLEMS
Growth Modification is just reverse of Class II
Differential growth of maxilla relative to Mandible
Edward Angle’s concept = Class III exclusively due to Excess Mandibular
growth
Any combination of Maxillary deficiency or Mandibular Excess
Maxillary Deficiency frequent occurrence = Promotion of Maxillary growth
~~Hasanin alkendi~~
34.
HORIZONTAL – VERTICAL
MAXILLARY DEFICIENCY
If Headgear force = compressing Maxillary Sutures = Inhibition of Growth
Reverse Pull Headgear = separating the sutures = Stimulate Growth
Delaire & coworkers in France showed effects of reverse head gear
RESULTS = Successful Forward repositioning of Maxilla can be
accomplished before age 8, afterwards the Orthodontic Tooth movement
overwhelms the skeletal change
~~Hasanin alkendi~~
35. Even in young patients, 2 side effects are almost inevitable :
Forward movement of Maxillary Teeth relative to Maxilla
Downward & Backward Rotation of Mandible
IDEAL PATIENTS FOR THIS TREATMENT :
Normally positioned or Retrussive, but not Protrussive Maxillary Teeth
Normal or Short, but not Long, Anterior Facial Vertical Dimensions
~~Hasanin alkendi~~
36.
MANDIBULAR EXCESS
Condylar Growth in response to Translation as surrounding Tissues grow
Results from CHIN CUP THERAPY are discouraging (Lower Incisors Tipped
Lingually )
DeClerk : Light but Full Time force from Class III elastics is used from
Skeletal Anchors in Maxilla to Skeletal Anchors in Mandible, effects on
both the jaws are observed
~~Hasanin alkendi~~
37.
CLASS III CAMOUFLAGE
Moderately Severe Class III = Proclining the Upper Incisors & Retracting
the Lower Incisors into Extraction space
Unfortunately this illustrates as Camouflage Failure
Failure especially likely = Large & Prominent Mandible
Retracting the Mandibular Teeth = makes the chin more Prominent
Improving Dental Occlusion while making Jaw Discrepency more Obvious
is not successful teatment
~~Hasanin alkendi~~
38. Candidate for Class III camouflage :
Reverse Overjet due to Protrussive mandibular incisors & Retrussive
Maxillary Incisors
Short Anterior Face Height so that a downward – Backward rotation of
Mandible would improve both anterior and posterior Vertical Facial
Proportions
~~Hasanin alkendi~~
39.
VERTICAL PROBLEMS
Skeletal vertical problems do not lend themselves to camouflage by tooth movement
For Short Face Patients = Growth modification involves down and back rotation of mandible
without creating anteroposterior mandibular deficiency
Which is why a short face Class III problem is more treatable than a long face one
Long Face pattern of growth is difficult to modify & elongating anterior teeth to close off
accompanying open bite is Antithesis of camouflage
Makes Facial appearance worse
Orthognathic Surgery : Vertically Reposition the Maxilla
Bone Anchors = Intrude Posterior Teeth
~~Hasanin alkendi~~
40. TREATMENT PLANNING IN SPECIAL
CIRCUMSTANCES
DENTAL DISEASE PROBLEMS
Concern that Endodontically treated teeth cannot be moved
As long as PDL is normal Endo treated teeth respond in same manner
Hemisection !!
In General, Prior Endo treatment does not Contraindicate Orthodontic Tooth
Movement
Pre Ortho Periodontal Procedures
Free Gingival Grafts ~~Hasanin alkendi~~
41.
SYSTEMIC DISEASE PROBLEMS
Systemic Diseases = Greater risk for complications
Successful Orthodontic Treatment = Systemic Disease under control
Most common is Diabetes Mellitus (DM)
Diabetes under control = Good Periodontal response to Orthodontic Force
Alveolar Bone Loss !!
Diabetes not controlled = Real risk of Periodontal Breakdown and Bone Loss
Prolonged Orthodontic treatment should be avoided~~Hasanin alkendi~~
42.
Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA) = Severe Mandibular Deficiency
Adult onset Rheumatoid Arthritis destroys condylar process
Reduced mandibular growth reported in cases with steroid injections into TM
Joint for JRA treatment
Long Term Steroid use = Periodontal Problems during Orthodontics
Children on steroids also take BISPHONATES = Ortho impossible
Prolonged Treatment avoided
~~Hasanin alkendi~~
43.
Orthodontic Treatment can be carried out in PREGNANCY, but there are risks
involved
Gingival Hyperplasia, Hormonal Fluctuations
Bone Turn Over issues = Alveolar bone loss & Root Resorption
Radiographs to check status of bone = not permissible during pregnancy
Treatment should be deferred until completion of pregnancy
If patients becomes Pregnant during Treatment = Place her treatment in a
Holding Pattern during Last Trimester
~~Hasanin alkendi~~
44. ANOMALIES & JAW INJURIES
MAXILLARY INJURIES
Fortunately, Injuries to maxilla in children are rare
If displaced by Trauma = Immediately repositioned
Protraction force from a face mask before Fractures have
completely Healed can Reposition it
~~Hasanin alkendi~~
45.
ASYMMETRIC MANDIBULAR DEFICIENCY
In planning treatment, its important to evaluate the condyle to see if its
translating properly
Functional Appliance should be tried first
Asymmetry with deficient growth on one side and normal on other side
HYBRID FUNCTIONAL APPLIANCE
Requirements will be different for both sides
Restriction of condyle = reduced growth on affected side
Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery = Goal
~~Hasanin alkendi~~
46.
HEMIMANDIBULAR HYPERTROPHY
Facial asymmetry can also be caused by excessive growth at one
condyle
Escape of growing tissues on one side from normal regulatory control
Never Symmetric, Late Teens, Frequently in Girls
Body of mandible affected = Bowing downward
Old name = Condylar Hyperplasia
Treatment = Ramal Osteotomy or Condylectomy
~~Hasanin alkendi~~
