Class 2 Malocclusion: Causes and Treatments
In this section, the speaker discusses class 2 malocclusion, which refers to a type of misalignment where the patient does not bite well. The causes of class 2 malocclusion can be skeletal, such as an advanced maxilla or a backward jaw growth. The speaker also mentions that there are different types of treatments available for this condition.
Class 2 Malocclusion in Children
- Class 2 malocclusion is often observed in children.
- It can be caused by skeletal issues, such as an advanced maxilla or a backward jaw growth.
- Early intervention is advantageous as it allows for enhancement of growth peaks.
Treatment Options
- To correct class 2 malocclusion accompanied by a narrow palate and compressed jawbone, expansion and disjunction of the jawbone may be necessary.
- Functional treatment involving stimulation of mandibular bone growth can help in skeletal class 2 cases in adults.
- In some cases, after conducting a thorough study, surgery may not be required to correct class 2 occlusion. Instead, extraction of two premolars (usually upper premolars) can help improve the projection and achieve proper occlusion.
Aesthetics vs Bone Level Correction
- Correcting class 2 occlusion in adults primarily focuses on improving the bite and aesthetics at the dental level.
- Facial aesthetics cannot be changed significantly through these treatments; however, overall improvement can still be achieved.
