Specialty of dentistry; diagnosis prevention and treatment of dental malocclusions and facial irregularities
Orthodontics
Indicated when a skeletal malocclusion exists in a growing patient. The goal is to inhibit stimulate and redirect jaw growth to obtain a more ideal skeletal pattern
Growth modification
growth modifying appliance most frequently used in Class II malocculsion to restrict/inhibit growth
Headgear
device used to attempt skeletal correction by changing mandibular or maxillary posture or growth
Functional Appliance
Patient classification for people with cleft palatal and craniofacial problems. growth modification and interceptive TX
Early Treatment Patients
Treatment method involving space management, growth modification
Interceptive treatment
Treatment style for a growing patient
Adolescent treatment
A patient type described as a non growing patient wanting adjunctive TX Camouflage TX, invisalign

facial and dental esthetics goals
Goal of Improved Smile
Functional Occlusion, TMJ, Periodontal Heath goals
Goal of improved oral health
Goal of retaining Tx outcomes
Stability goal
System for classifying occlusion: Options are: "Normal occlusion", Class I, II, III
Angles Classification of Malocclusions
Molars are in "Normal Occlusion", however teeth are irregular in alignment
Class I Malocclusion
End to end occlusion of molars
Class II Malocclusion
Mesiobuccal cusp of maxillary 1st molar occludes posterior to the mesiobuccal groove of the mandibular 1st molar
Class III Malocclusion
Evaluation of facial profile, key indicator of underlying skeletal arrangements contributing to class II or III
Facial analysis
Profile ranking with forehead, base of nose and chin line up along a vertical line; ideal class 1
Straight or orthognathic profile
Chin is out of line of nose and chin resulting in a Convex profile
Retrognathic Class II
Prognathic classification with chin is out of line of nose and chin resulting in a Concave profile
Prognathic Class III
Short broad skull and a wide face
Brachycephalic Skull morphology
Average breadth and length skull morphology
Mesocephalic Skull morphology
Long narrow skull and narrow face
Dolichocephalic Skull morphology
Degree of vertical overlap of the mandibular incisors by their maxillary antagonists, usually measured perpendicular to the occlusal plane.
Overbite
The distance between the labial surface of the mandibular incisors, and the labial aspect of the incisal edge of the maxillary incisors, usually measured parallel to the occlusal plane
Overjet
The curve displayed in the sagittal plane by the cusps and the incisal edges of the mandibular teeth
Curve of Spee
The key to successful orthodontic treatment
An accurate diagnosis
