Functional Individualized Orthodontics
The Cranio-Mandibular system is mainly a communication and emotional organ, especially
for stress-release. Brain activity is influenced by mandible position. Bruxism is nowadays
understood as normal and a necessary function, although it produces more load in the
system than mastication. How can we integrate this function in our treatment objectives?
What changes should be considered to design occlusion to cope with it? Occlusal plane
inclination and Posterior Vertical Dimension, play a major role in Cranio-Facial growth and
development.
In this presentation, we will show how Nature develops a fully functional system and which
of those principles we can use to achieve the same in our patients. Controlling the occlusal
plane and vertical dimension opens new possibilities to treat skeletal malocclusions
successfully, taking care of the load in the Temporo-Mandibular Joints at the same time.
The difference between the left and right occlusal planes is connected with Mandibular
Lateral Displacement (MLD), which is strongly related with TMD.
Occlusion must be evaluated and treated under the patient’s individual dynamics, this will
determine the torque and angulations for each case. This is Occlusion Medicine.
