Comprehensive mixed dentition treatment.

At the University of the Pacific, mixed dentition treatment is an integral part in the graduate program in orthodontics. One patient had a severe skeletal ANB discrepancy of 7 degrees, lower incisors crowding, and 12 mm of overjet. He was considered an excellent candidate for Phase I treatment to reduce the severity of the problem. It is our philosophy to take advantage of the growth potential in a patient by initiating Phase I treatment between the ages of 7 and 9 years, depending on the eruption of the permanent first molars and incisors and the severity of the malocclusion. We use leeway space to resolve crowding and to align lower incisors in the early mixed dentition. We find that these young patients are more compliant with orthodontic treatment than most adolescent patients. If treatment was postponed until eruption of the permanent dentition, we would have one chance for correction of the problem rather than a Phase I and Phase II (if needed) approach. We believe that the key to successful Phase I treatment is this comprehensive approach to early treatment. The entire malocclusion is addressed at an early age rather than only addressing one or two problems and postponing the majority of the orthodontic correction until the permanent dentition.

Early treatment of the Class III malocclusion with rapid maxillary expansion and maxillary protraction.

This study comprised a sample of 31 patients with Class III malocclusion (21 girls and 10 boys), with ages ranging from 5 years 2 months to 11 years 6 months. All patients were in the deciduous or mixed dentition. The indicated treatment was rapid maxillary expansion, immediately followed by maxillary protraction with the facial mask. Mean treatment time was 8 months, varying from 4 to 24 months. The therapy induced both dental and skeletal alterations. Skeletal alterations consisted of maxillary anterior displacement and mandibular downward and backward rotation, improving facial profile. Dental alterations, known as dentoalveolar compensations, consisted of a tendency of labial tipping of the maxillary incisors and lingual tipping of the mandibular incisors.

Effects of different vectors of forces applied by combined headgear.

The effects of various directed forces applied by combined headgear were evaluated in this study. The study material consisted of 30 patients with Class II dental relationships and steep mandibular plane angles. Three groups of 10 patients each were formed. In the first treatment group, forces of 150 gm per side were used for the high-pull component and the cervical component. In the second treatment group, forces of 200 gm per side for the high-pull component and 100 gm per side for the cervical component were applied. In the third treatment group, forces of 100 gm per side were applied for the high-pull component and 200 gm per side for the cervical component. Distal tipping of upper molar was greatest in the third treatment group. Intrusion of the upper molar in the second treatment group and extrusion of the upper molar in the third treatment group were statistically significant. Changes in occlusal and mandibular plane angles showed significant differences between the groups.
