O knihe

To decide the timing of orthodontic treatment is a controversial topic among clinicians and it shows great diversity of opinions; some recommending early intervention early in the occlusal development, and others arguing in favour of treatment in the late mixed or early permanent dentition. For a young patient with an increase overjet and Angle's class II malocclusion, the choices are early treatment to modify jaw growth, later treatment to camouflage the jaw discrepancy through tooth movement, or in sever case, surgical correction of the skeletal relationship.. Although the goals of each approach are the same, mainly to improve facial and dental appearance, maintain or enhance the oral health, and establish a stable and functional occlusion, the treatment approaches are way different.Head gears aims at correcting Class II malocclusion by acting on the maxilla in many ways. This book reviews the various changes seen extra-orally and intra-orally with the use of headgears in growing children with class II malocclusion.
