TOOTH FIT |
The information in this presentation will enable the orthodontist to recognise tooth fit issues, which are a feature of so many malocclusions, and manage them with confidence.
Frequency |
– why tooth fit can be a challenge in up to 50% of cases – understanding the causes of poor tooth fit |
Tooth size management |
– options for the treatment of excess lower or excess upper enamel – enamel build up versus enamel reduction |
Incisor torque and overbite |
– animations showing why the third of Andrews’ keys is important in tooth fit – recognising and managing the interplay between tooth fit and overbite |
The importance of ‘in-out’ |
– in-out is often the ‘poor relation’ in bracket design, after tip and torque – why correct in-out matters if we want results with ideal contact points |
Tooth fit – 3 factors
Incisor build up? Enamel reduction?
A need for torque?
