Earlier the Better: Interceptive Orthodontics to Correct Various Forms of Malocclusion in a Nine-year-old Boy

Orthodontic Journal of Nepal

Guidance of eruption and development of the primary, mixed, and permanent dentitions is an integral component of comprehensive oral healthcare for all pediatric dental patients; which should contribute to the development of a permanent dentition that is stable, and functionally and esthetically acceptable. In this case note, we present a case in which various forms of interceptive treatment modalities like; extraction of impacted and erupted supernumerary teeth, correction of anterior crossbite and irregularities using Z-springs and Hawley’s labial bow, and provision of lingual holding arch space maintainer were done to correct malocclusion in a nine-year-old patient. Arch alignment was achieved within seven month of starting of treatment, which was acceptable to the patient.

Anterior crossbite malocclusion: prevalence and treatment with afixed inclined plane orthodontic appliance

2019

Aim: To evaluate the prevalence of anterior crossbite and to verify the effectiveness of the orthodontic appliance Inclined Plane in the correction of this malocclusion. Methods: The clinical examination was performed 702 children in the deciduous or mixed dentition of 7 schools and in those found the anterior crossbite was performed treatment with fixed Inclined Plane. Results: The prevalence of the anterior crossbite was 2.14%, characterizing 15 of the 702 children evaluated, of which 60% were female and 40% male, all of which were dental crossbites. Only 12 accepted the treatment with an average duration of 4.4 weeks. Conclusion: The prevalence of anterior crossbite was 2.14%. The inclined plane proved to be a viable and effective therapy in the correction of anterior crossbite. It is one of the options of the orthodontic treatment in patients in the deciduous or mixed dentition, propitiating greater possibility of dentoskeletal development, since the malocclusion is corrected.

The Modified Two-By-Two Fixed Orthodontic Appliance for Anterior Cross Bite in Primary Dentition: A Case Report

Medical Journal of Clinical Trials & Case Studies

Background: Anterior teeth are the mirror of facial appearance plays a vital role in developing facial beauty, self-confidence, attractive personality even in growing child. 1.6 to7.9 % out of 27 % is the total prevalence rate of anterior cross bite. Various treatment modalities and options have been incorporated, but the major draw is treatment time consumption and patient compliance. To date modified continuous arch wires are used to correct cross-bites. Case presentation: A 4 years girl presented with Class I canine relation and mesial step occlusion transplant relation with anterior cross bite, concave face. Treatment involved placement of blue bite turbo's on lower deciduous second molars and two by two fixed orthodontic continuous arch wire in maxillary teeth. Conclusion: The design of this modified 2 by 2 appliance allows buccal tipping of anterior teeth, it provides light and continuous force for physiological orthodontic movement with minimal root resorption; the treatment of anterior cross bite is corrected in 12 days.

Interceptive orthodontics: a headway towards normal occlusion –report of two cases

Guidance of eruption and development of the primary, mixed, and permanent dentition is an integral component of comprehensive oral health care for all pediatric dental patients. Such guidance should contribute to the development of a permanent dentition that is in a stable, functional and esthetically acceptable occlusion and normal subsequent dentofacial development. Early diagnosis and successful treatment of developing malocclusions can have both short-term and long-term benefits while achieving the goals of occlusal harmony and function and dentofacial esthetics. Anterior crossbite, midline closure, single tooth malocclusion, increased overbite, increased overjet, palatally or labially placed tooth, single tooth rotation are one such malocclusions that involves the use of minor orthodontic correction. Treating these cases in the late mixed dentition period provides improvement in esthetic as well as causes well alignment of the teeth. So, the purpose of this article is to present case reports of patients with different forms of malocclusion treated with simple interceptive fixed orthodontic treatment achieving satisfactory results.

Effect of Bite Opening on the Correction of Dental Anterior Cross Bite – A Novel Approach

2021

nterior cross bite is a type of malocclusion in which maxillary anterior teeth are placed lingual to the mandibular anterior teeth.1,2 It can be a major esthetic and functional concern for the parents of a growing child. Crossbite can involve a single tooth or multiple teeth.3 Its prevalence is reported to be between 1.6 and 7.9%.1,4 In some studies its prevalence in children is reported to be as high as 27%.3,5 Anterior crossbite may be dental, skeletal or functional in origin.2 In dental crossbite, only tipping /lingual inclination of maxillary incisors are present with no dental compensation and basal bone abnormality.6 It is usually present in early mixed dentition phase. On the other hand, skeletal type of anterior crossbite is either because of an excessive mandibular growth or a deficient maxilla. Functional crossbite, which is also called pseudo-class III malocclusion, is because of the forward posture of mandible from its centric position.7 It might be present because of oc...

Early intervention of anterior cross bite malocclusion relating to functional class iii malocclusion

International Journal of Oral Health Dentistry, 2021

This case report describes the treatment of a13-year-old boy with anterior dental cross bite, unilateral cross bite and constricted maxillary arch with removable appliance to bring the teeth into a normal position. A removable acrylic appliance with a bite plate incorporating an expansion screw was used to correct the anterior dental cross bite and align the incisors.

Management of Class II Malocclusion Using Twin Force Bite Corrector

International Journal of Orthodontic Rehabilitation

Class II malocclusion is one of the most commonly occurring conditions, and the component mostly involved is mandibular retrognathism. The treatment modalities include both removable and fixed appliances. The advantage of fixed functional appliances is that it is not dependent on patient compliance. Various fixed functional appliances are available such as rigid, flexible, and hybrid. The present case series discusses a hybrid type of fixed functional appliance, i.e. Twin Force Bite Corrector appliance in three cases: A 15‑year‑old female patient with Class II malocclusion due to mandibular retrognathism, a 14‑year‑old male patient with Class II malocclusion due to mandibular retrognathism, and a 14‑year‑old female patient with Class II malocclusion due to mandibular retrognathism. The effects produced by this appliance are similar to the conventional fixed functional appliances such as Forsus, Herbst, and also it has a distinct advantage of quick chair-side fabrication and simple d...

Non-Surgical Approach to Correct Skeletal Open-Bite Malocclusion in an Adult Patient Using Third Molar Intrusion Mechanics: A Clinical Case Report

European Journal of General Dentistry, 2022

Paradigm is shifting in the orthodontic world with the introduction of mini screw type of temporary anchorage devices (TADs). This clinical report shows treatment and 3-year retention results of nonsurgical and extraction treatment in a 34-year-old female patient treated with maxillary molar intrusion mechanics and habit control. After 24 months of active orthodontic treatment, splendid outcomes were achieved. She presented with a chief complaint of problems in biting from her front teeth. She has a Class II skeletal and dental relationship with increased vertical proportions. Control of vertical dimension and producing autorotation of mandible were the key reasons to reduce facial convexity and improvement in profile. Treatment effects of 5 degrees of autorotation of mandible and 4 mm of maxillary molar intrusion were produced to correct pre-treatment anterior open bite of 5 mm. Based on available clinical evidence, we suggest that TADs with composite buttons on molars can be used ...

Dental cross-bite: The paradigm of interception in orthodontics

The Journal of Dental Panacea, 2021

Crossbite is a form of malocclusion in which a tooth (or teeth) in the upper or lower dental arch is more buccal or lingual (that is, closer to the cheek or tongue) than its corresponding antagonist tooth. Crossbite, to put it another way, is a lateral misalignment of the dental arches. Crossbite should be corrected as soon as a child's cooperation is obtained. Early treatment may prevent or slow the progression of abnormal alveolar processes and jaws.
