Teamwork – pre-prosthetic orthodontics
Early tooth loss often causes teeth to shift, and instances of aplasia may prevent optimal prosthetic placement.
In such cases, the primary dentist and the patient may desire an improvement of the dental alignment before prosthetic placement. This often results in more aesthetic and better functioning prosthetics.
Indications
- Straightening crooked teeth and opening gaps are the most common indications
- Reducing crowding in the front teeth
- Attaining functional occlusion before prosthetic placement
- Modifying an occlusion that is strained by movement of the lower jaw
- Therapy of pains in the joints, chewing muscles, head, back, and cervical spine
- Reduction or elimination of tinnitus
