Recent developments in orthodontic treatment-an overview
Keywords:
orthodontic treatment, growth modification, skeletal discrepancies, mixed-dentition, malocclusion, early intervention, functional appliancesAbstract
Background: Recent developments in orthodontic treatment have significantly impacted the management of various dental and skeletal issues in preadolescent patients. These advancements encompass a wide range of approaches aimed at addressing problems during the mixed-dentition phase, particularly skeletal discrepancies. Growth modification, camouflage, and orthognathic surgery are primary strategies used to correct these discrepancies. Aim: The aim of this overview is to present a comprehensive summary of recent developments in orthodontic treatment, focusing on growth modification strategies applied to address skeletal and dental issues in preadolescent patients. Methods: This overview examines various orthodontic treatment methods, including growth modification techniques such as the use of headgear, functional appliances, and orthognathic surgery. The discussion also explores the application of these methods to different types of malocclusions and skeletal discrepancies, particularly anteroposterior, transverse, and vertical problems.
