| With Dr. Kokich at the EOS 2012 |
Driven from the recent editorial article of Dr. Kokich at the AJODO, I would like to emphasize what this article was all about.
TADs have been around for some time now in the orthodontic field, and have changed the approach we follow at a number of cases.
- This is all wonderful but we should also remember that mini-screws are just a tool among others.
- What is really important is correct diagnosis, individualized treatment planning and well designed biomechanics applied to the right patient.
PURE intrusion of anterior and/or posterior teeth for example, is a tooth movement that can be achieved ONLY when the reacting force is not applied to the dentition. A clean way of doing that is bone anchorage.
- However we don't want to intrude the anterior too much especially when treating adolescence, where a gummy smile of 4mm IS very normal for their age!
- Let alone the issue of muscle adaptation when intruding posterior teeth and altering the vertical height of open bite patients...
It feels good to read what I was taught in Aarhus, been repeated by someone like Dr. Kokich and at the AJODO, because unfortunately when you say these things to a group of fellow orthodontists, people tend to look at you a bit strange. Marketing you see...
Thank you ;)

ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you! You can have all the tools you want but if you can't use them what is the point? I will be asking my orthodontist in Oakville how well he knows his stuff.

ReplyDeleteOur Coquitlam orthodontics clinic is a prominent user of the mini-screws. I have two, and I find them really helpful compared to other solutions.
