CLINICAL CASES IN ORTHODONTICS AND FACIAL ORTHOPAEDICS AND ALIGNERS

Liana Lima Pinheiro

O

rthodontic appliances do not diagnose or treat a clinical case. They are tools that, if used properly, will

allow us to reach an ideal dental position, within a functional occlusion, in perfect harmony with the TMJ’s

and associated musculature. After diagnosis, a treatment plan is established and we select the right technique

to treat. The interaction of techniques also allows the professional to be comprehensive to all clinical cases, tak-

ing advantage of the best part of each technique. Alignments, rotations, levelling and intercuspations are easy

to correct with fixed appliances, however the diagnosis may show us the need for an expansion, giving value

to the removable appliance and indication in the treatment. Orthopaedics is also not the answer to all prob-

lems although it is the best solution for early interception of malocclusions, normalizing the functional spaces

and allowing the correction of growth. Aligners can be used with success in many cases. All the techniques are

excellent when well indicated according to the diagnosis.
