Orthotics and orthodontics

D C Keller

    Journal of General Orthodontics
    |September 1, 1996

    Summary

    Intraoral orthotics serve as crucial diagnostic tools in orthodontics, helping establish a stable jaw relationship before treatment. This approach ensures better treatment outcomes by harmonizing dental structures, muscles, and joints.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Orthodontics
    • Temporomandibular Joint Disorders

    Background:

    • Occlusal splints and intraoral orthotics are commonly used for temporomandibular joint dysfunction.
    • Their diagnostic potential in orthodontics is often overlooked.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the diagnostic role of intraoral orthotics in orthodontics.
    • To demonstrate the association between orthotics and establishing a functional mandibular-maxillary relationship prior to or during orthodontic treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing intraoral orthotics as diagnostic instruments.
    • Establishing and maintaining harmony between temporomandibular joint structures, muscles, and dentition.
    • Achieving a stable orthopedic relationship before orthodontic intervention.

    Main Results:

    • Orthotics facilitate the determination of a stable orthopedic relationship.
    • The endpoint of orthodontic treatment can be established prior to irreversible corrections.
    • Cause-effect relationships in malocclusion can be diagnosed more accurately.

    Conclusions:

    • Intraoral orthotics are valuable diagnostic tools in orthodontics.
    • They enable the establishment of a functional mandibular-maxillary relationship, guiding treatment planning.
    • Properly relating the mandible to the maxilla allows for determination of arch developmental needs.
