O knihe

Anteroposterior discrepancy in orthodontics refers to the difference in the position of the upper and lower teeth along the front-back axis of the mouth. This discrepancy can be classified as either a skeletal or dental issue.A skeletal anteroposterior discrepancy occurs when there is a difference in the size and position of the upper and lower jaws, resulting in an overbite or underbite. This type of discrepancy can be corrected through orthodontic treatment using appliances such as headgear, facemasks, or functional appliances, which work to modify the growth and position of the jaws.A dental anteroposterior discrepancy occurs when the teeth are not positioned correctly in the jaws, resulting in crowding or spacing. This type of discrepancy can be corrected using braces or clear aligners, which work to move the teeth into the correct position within the jaws.The treatment for an anteroposterior discrepancy will depend on the specific nature and severity of the issue, as well as the age and development of the patient. Early intervention is often recommended for skeletal discrepancies, as younger patients have more potential for growth modification.
