Abstract

The management of impacted canines is a complex task and requires a lot of time to guide them into the arch. In recent years the use of a Kilroy spring has become very popular and usually involves the use of a heavy main archwire and an auxiliary wire to guide the canine. In this case, a modified version of the Kilroy spring was fabricated on the main archwire, thereby reducing the need for a second auxiliary wire and allowing for the easy guidance of the impacted canine into its normal position into the arch.

Abstract

Facial characteristics are affected by facial proportions, growth pattern, facial heights, and smile of the patients. Long face syndrome usually presents with an increased lower anterior and total anterior facial height, a gummy smile, a hyperdivergent growth pattern and decreased facial height. However, there are many variations in the posterior facial height and the growth pattern. There can be patients having an increased anterior facial height with increased or average posterior facial height, or an average and reduced mandibular plane angle. This paper aimed at reviewing the various characteristic facial variants of an increased anterior facial height. This article reviews three such variants of an increased anterior facial height. It particularly highlights the variant with increased anterior and posterior facial height and the modification in the treatment of such cases. The most common treatment option for the normally occurring variant of hyperdivergent growth pattern with a reduced posterior facial height is surgical superior impaction of the maxilla. But, for the variant with increased posterior facial height with hyperdivergent growth pattern is not the same as following superior impaction, the mandibular autorotation will not be stable in such variants due to genetically engrammed strong muscular patterns.

Abstract

Orthodontic treatment can be part of a dental interdisciplinary treatment as a way to help other specialists in the team achieve efficient treatment results when dealing with complex cases. The team members must have basic and sufficient knowledge related to other disciplines if they are to have common ground for fruitful discussion of treatment options and possible solutions that will provide optimum esthetics and function, especially for adult patients. This article discusses important factors related to endodontics, periodontics, and restorative/prosthodontics and their interactions with orthodontics.
