About this episode
Focused on aligner orthodontics and orofacial orthopedics, offering a comprehensive guide for practitioners. It begins by establishing the physiological and functional neuroanatomy of the temporomandibular system (TMS), including the role of the basal ganglia and the trigeminal nerve in controlling movement and pain, and discussing temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). Subsequently, the text transitions into the biomechanical principles of tooth movement with aligners, exploring forces, moments, and the influence of attachments, detailing the necessary diagnostic procedures like the TMD check and orthodontic sheets. Finally, the material presents extensive sections on treatment planning and specific aligner therapy applications for various malocclusions—such as deep bite, open bite, and crowding—often integrating aligner treatment with functional appliances or other interdisciplinary procedures like implantology and prosthodontics.
