The gnatic and dentoalveolar changes in patients with distal occlusion after treatment with a modifi ed functional method

Abstract

   Patients with distal occlusion of the dentition in combination with deep incisal occlusion or disocclusion with retrusion of the group of the anterior teeth of the upper jaw have a certain symptom complex of morphological and functional changes. With age, this pathology becomes more severe in the severity of pathology. Accordingly, the indications for the extraction of individual teeth or for complex treatment, including the stage of orthognathic surgery, are expanding. That is why treatment should be carried out in the period of formation of occlusion of permanent teeth with normalization of the forms of the dentition, unblocking of the position of the lower jaw and achievement of the functional and morphological optimum in the dentition. An important counterargument is the lack of motivation for orthodontic treatment in most children. In such cases, motivation on the part of the orthodontist is very important, who evaluates and represents how severe, and sometimes irreversible, changes in the gnathic and dentoalveolar nature in the dentoalveolar complex with non-intervention tactics will be.
