A Paradigm Shift in our approach to Interceptive Treatment: Part II (Treatment) [Ep.4]
Manage episode 365046111 series 3479169
SUMMARY:
· In this second part of the 2-part series, we will discuss how to approach the interceptive orthodontic treatment of preadolescent patients who present in the early-mixed dentition. The following topics will be covered:
o The history of rapid maxillary expansion (RME).
o Common issues caused by traditional “expanders” when used in the upper and lower arches.
o Slow expansion vs. RME.
o Using braces and wires instead of traditional expansion appliances to expand the maxillary and mandibular arches of preadolescent patients.
o The impact of slow expansion on tongue space and the pediatric airway.
o The life-changing impact on your patients when you use interceptive treatment to address the etiology of the dental crowding in young patients.
· We will also review the treatment of the patient who was presented and diagnosed in Part I, including progress visits of the patient during interceptive treatment, final records, before-and-after comparisons (intra-oral, extra-oral, and airway), and retention.
