Soft Tissue Dysfunction: a Missing Clue when Treating MalocclusionsPublished by: International Journal of Jaw Functional Orthopedics (2005) Contemporaneous treatment of malocclusions concerns about the effect of the muscular activity in the occlusion. Treatment of malocclusion involves dental alignment, jaw repositioning, stabilization of the activity of the masticatory muscles, the muscles of the tongue and the muscles of the cheeks and lips in order to achieve a balance between the forces delivered on the arches and teeth by all the muscles involved in oral functions.

Dental Arches Expansion With Ortho-SystemPublished by: Dental Asia (March/April 2006) Maxillary and mandibular expansion has been proposed to increase the arch perimeter and to avoid extractions during orthodontic treatment. This paper describes a novel method to produce expansion of the dental arches, and at the same time, to treat muscular dysfunctions which may be the etiological factor of the malocclusion. Two cases treated with the Ortho-System are described and the advantage of this method of treatment is discussed. Authors: Dr German O.

Dimensional Changes in Dental Arches After Treatment with a Prefabricated Functional AppliancePublished by: The Journal of Pediatric Dentistry The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the T4K, a prefabricated functional appliance, on the transverse and anterior-height dimensions of the maxillary and mandibular dental arches. Dimensions before and after treatment were measured on the sample, then, natural growth was subtracted from the treatment effects and compared with twice the error of the method. A clinically significant increase of both dimensions was observed in the maxilla and mandible when Class II malocclusion patients were treated with the T4K. Therefore, this retrospective study demonstrates that T4K is a valid treatment choice at an early age when transverse expansion is part of the treatment goal.

Insights Into Orthodontic TreatmentPublished by: Dental Asia (July/August 2006) Almost a century was necessary to find some new alternatives for orthodontic treatment. Since the introduction of brackets, the most significant change in orthodontic industry has been moving from weld brackets to resin bonded brackets and some improvements in wires features. However, the philosophy of treatment did not change as the only purpose of treatment was to move teeth and to expect that the whole oral system might adapt to the performed changes.
