Description
Orthodontics is a dentistry specialty that addresses the diagnosis, prevention, management, and correction of mal-positioned teeth and jaws, as well as misaligned bite patterns. It may also address the modification of facial growth, known as dentofacial orthopedics. Since the dawn of humankind, individuals have been grappling with the issue of overcrowded, irregular, and protruding teeth. Evidence from Greek and Etruscan materials suggests that attempts to treat this disorder go back to 1000 BC – showcasing primitive yet impressively well-crafted orthodontic appliances. In the 18th and 19th centuries, a range of devices for the “regulation” of teeth were described by various dentistry authors who occasionally put them into practice. As a modern science, orthodontics dates to the mid 1800s. The field’s influential contributors include Norman William Kingsley (18291913) and Edward Angle (18551930). Angle created the first basic system for classifying malocclusions, a system which remains in use today. By the beginning of the 20th century, orthodontics had become more than just the straightening of crooked teeth. The concept of ideal occlusion, as postulated by Angle and incorporated into a classification system, enabled a shift towards treating malocclusion, which is any deviation from normal occlusion. Having a full set of teeth on both arches was highly sought after in orthodontic treatment due to the need for exact relationships between them. Extraction as an orthodontic procedure was heavily opposed by Angle and those who followed him. As occlusion became the key priority, facial proportions and esthetics were neglected. To achieve ideal occlusals without using external forces, Angle postulated that having perfect occlusion was the best way to gain optimum facial aesthetics.[The course will put Limelight on the Basics of Orthodontics and will guide the students and open their doors to current as well as newer concepts in the field of Orthodontics.
