Aktivasi Piranti Ortodonti Lepasan

Summary

This instructional video demonstrates the process of activating various orthodontic appliances, focusing on both upper and lower jaw activations. It covers techniques such as using the finger spring to move teeth distally, adjusting jet springs, and fine-tuning appliance settings with precision tools like tweezers and calipers. The procedure also includes marking, measuring, and repositioning specific appliance components, ensuring optimal alignment for correcting dental issues such as diastema and linguoversi. The video offers a comprehensive guide to working with orthodontic appliances to achieve accurate tooth movement and alignment.

Takeaways

• 😀 Fingerprint activation is used to move the commercial teeth distally to close gaps, particularly in cases of diastema between teeth 11 and 21.
• 😀 The activation of the orthodontic appliance involves using a straight plier to direct the force mesially on the fingerprint spring to close the gap between the upper front teeth.
• 😀 After activation, the orthodontic device should be placed back on the typodont model, and the clamping action on the insisal should be checked for correct interdental contact.
• 😀 A crucial step involves measuring and marking the horizontal arm and anterior acrylic base edge to ensure the proper activation of the appliance.
• 😀 The technique for measuring involves using a compass and ruler to ensure precision when calculating the distance between marked points.
• 😀 Once the activation distance is determined, the appliance is adjusted using a tweezers-like tool, specifically the Triefus type pliers, ensuring the horizontal arm aligns correctly.
• 😀 If the horizontal arm of the appliance moves too far, it is repositioned using the Triefus tool, which is carefully placed at the corner between the loop and horizontal arm.
• 😀 The next phase of activation addresses teeth with linguoversion, such as tooth 42, by expanding the loop with a plier tool to move the tooth to a more labial position.
• 😀 The activation of the arced spring works on both medial and distal sides, correcting teeth that are lingually displaced.
• 😀 After the spring activation, a secondary check ensures that the spring is closely adapted to the tooth using a sonde tool, followed by immersing the typodont model in hot water to observe changes.
• 😀 The final adjustment ensures the horizontal arm maintains the correct distance from the acrylic base after all activations, with re-measuring to confirm precise corrections were made.

Q & A

What is the first step in activating the orthodontic appliance?

The first step is to activate the upper jaw by using the 'Fingerprint' and 'Label Brown' systems. This involves moving the posterior teeth towards the distal to close the diastema between teeth 11 and 21.

How do you activate the 'Fingerprint' component?

To activate the 'Fingerprint,' use straight pliers (tang lurus). Position the pliers on the fingerprint and direct it mesially to move the posterior teeth, closing the diastema.

What is the purpose of using 60°C water during the activation process?

The purpose of using 60°C water is to ensure that the orthodontic appliance materials adapt properly. The appliance is submerged in the water for 5-10 minutes to aid in repositioning and securing the correct tooth alignment.

What should you do after activating the 'Fingerprint' system?

After activating the 'Fingerprint,' reposition the appliance on the typodont model. Then, submerge it in 60°C water for 5-10 minutes to check the movement of the teeth, ensuring that the diastema between teeth 11 and 21 is closed.

What steps are involved in activating the lower jaw with the 'Label Bow'?

To activate the lower jaw, first mark the horizontal arm and the anterior edge of the acrylic base with a marker. Measure the distance between these marks using a caliper and ruler. The distance should be 5 mm. Then, activate the system using Tifus pliers, adjusting the horizontal arm as needed.

What is the significance of measuring the distance between marked points on the 'Label Bow'?

Measuring the distance ensures that the activation is precise. The initial measurement helps determine how much adjustment is needed to align the appliance correctly. After activation, the measurement should ideally be reduced to 4 mm.

How should the 'Label Bow' be repositioned after activation?

If necessary, reposition the horizontal arm using a Triefus Hop Tank. The loop should be adjusted to ensure that the appliance fits correctly and that the horizontal arm is properly positioned.

What tool is used to activate the 'Jet Spring' for correcting a 'linguoversi' issue?

Bick pliers are used to activate the 'Jet Spring.' The loop should be expanded by 2-3 mm towards the labial side to correct the linguoversi issue on tooth 42.

When should the 'Jet Spring' loop only be expanded on one side?

The 'Jet Spring' loop should be expanded on one side if only one side of the tooth exhibits linguoversi. This ensures that only the affected side is moved toward the labial.

What is the final check after all activations are completed?

The final check involves verifying the fit of the appliance on the typodont model using a sonde. The sonde ensures that the springs are in contact with the teeth. The model is also submerged in 60°C water for 5-10 minutes, and the alignment of the teeth is checked to confirm the corrections have been made.
