Management of mandibular crowding by expansion- Is it a viable option? Clinical observations
Journal Title: Medicine in Evolution - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 3
Abstract
Orthodontic treatment goals are different for patients and orthodontists. While the first think more in terms of tooth alignment the others have a more complete agenda, addressing also stability. Mandibular crowding has always been a topic for debate regarding its treatment. The present study analyses factors and limits that influence the treatment of mandibular crowding from a clinical point of view. An observational study on 30 patients was developed and conducted. It was found that the treatment options employed varied according to tooth movement limits. Limits were also found to be in accordance with skeletal facial patterns and mandibular morphological characteristics. While mandibular expansion is a common treatment option for managing and correcting mandibular crowding it should be employed carefully due to increased periodontal and relapse risks.
