THE ORTHODONTIC APPLIANCES FOR TREATMENT OF OPEN BITE PROPRIETARY CONSTRUCTION

In orthodontic practice, removable orthodontic devices are used to treat anomalies and deformations of the dentoalveolar apparatus during the period of the transition occlusion. The creation of new orthodontic appliances or the modification of existing appliances is actual today. The aim is to create easy-to-use therapeutical-prophilaxis orthodontic appliances that can be used to treat open bite and anomalies of the individual teeth position. The mechanism of action of the proposed appliance by P. Flis - V. Filonenko for the treatment of open bite (Ukraine's declarative patent No. 69548 for the utility model A61C7 / 00) is to expand the dentition; stimulation of growth of the apical bases of the jaws by moving the upper frontal teeth orally; correction of the tooth-alveolar height; normalization of the position of tongue. The clinical experience of the use of the orthodontic apparatus by P. Flis - V. Filonenko pointed to the drawbacks of its use in the case of retrusion or normal torque of upper frontal teeth. This goal is achieved by introducing into the design a lingual arc and lip bumper (Ukraine's declarative patent No. 115089 for the utility model A61C7 / 00). Orthodontic appliances of P. Flis - V. Filonenko and P. Flis - O.Tsyzh - V. Filonenko are advisable to use for the treatment and prevention of dentoalveolar anomalies and deformations, in particular, open bite and anomalies of individual teeth position. Conducted clinical studies indicate the feasibility of widespread introduction of appliances in orthodontic practice.
