ORTHODONTIC OVERVIEW = SINTEZA ORTODONTICA

Overview of Orthodontic Problems = Sinteza Problemelor de Natura Ortodontica

1. ORTHODONTICS TREATS BITE PROBLEMS AND CORRECTS THE POSITIONING OF TEETH = ORTODONTIA TRATEAZA PROBLEME ALE MUSCATURII SI CORECTEAZA POZITIA DINTILOR2. IN A PROPER BITE, CUSPS ON UPPER JAW LINE UP WITH FOSSA ON LOWER JAW = INTR-O MUSCATURA CORECTA, CUSPIZII MAXILARI SUPERIORI SE ALINIAZA CU FOSETELE MANDIBULARE.3. SOMETIMES THE JAWS AND TEETH ARE TOO FAR FORWARD OR TOO FAR BACK= UNEORI MAXILARUL SI DINTII SUNT PREA IN FATA SAU PREA IN SPATE.4. WHEN UPPER TEETH ARE AHEAD OF LOWER TEETH IT IS CALLED AN OVERJET= CAND DINTII SUPERIORI SUNT MULT INAINTEA CELOR INFERIORI SE NUMESTE INOCLUZIE SAGITALA5. WHEN LOWER TEETH IN FRONT OF UPPER TEETH IT IS CALLED AN ANTERIOR CROSSBITE = CAND DINTII INFERIORI SUNT INAINTEA CELOR SUPERIORI SE NUMESTE OCLUZIE INVERSA FRONTALA6. AN IDEAL BITE HAS SLIGHT OVERJET = MUSCATURA IDEALA ARE O USOARA INOCLUZIE SAGITALA7. IN A PROPER BITE, THE UPPER JAW IS SLIGHTLY WIDER THAN THE LOWER JAW = INTR-O MUSCATURA CORECTA MAXILARUL SUPERIOR E USOR MAI LAT DECAT CEL INFERIOR8. WHEN THE UPPER ARCH IS TOO NARROW, IT IS CALLED A POSTERIOR CROSSBITE = CAND ARCADA SUPERIOARA ESTE PREA INGUSTA SE NUMESTE OCLUZIE INVERSA LATERALA9. WHEN TEETH DON'T OVERLAP PROPERLY, IT ALSO LEADS TO BITE PROBLEMS = CAND DINTII NU SE ACOPERA CORECT DUCE DEASEMENEA LA PROBLEME ALE MUSCATURII10. IN A PROPER BITE, UPPER FRONT TEETH SHOULD SLIGHTLY OVERLAP THE LOWER TEETH = INTR-O MUSCATURA CORECTA DINTII FRONTALI SUPERIORI TREBUIE SA-I DEPASEASCA USOR PE CEI INFERIORI 11. WHEN THERE IS INSUFFICIENT VERTICAL OVERLAP, THE BITE IS CALLED AN OPEN BITE = CAND NU EXISTA SUFICIENTA ACOPERIRE VERTICALA VORBIM DESPRE OCLUZIE DESCHISA12. WHEN THERE IS TOO MUCH VERTICAL OVERLAP, THE BITE IS CALLED A DEEP BITE = CAND EXISTA EXCES DE ACOPERIRE IN PLAN VERTICAL VORBIM DESPRE OCLUZIE ADANCA13. IN ADDITION TO BITE PROBLEMS, THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH THE POSITIONING OF TEETH = PE LANGA PROBLEME ALE MUSCATURII EXISTA PROBLEME DE POZITIE ALE DINTILOR.

14. PROBLEMS CAN OCCUR WHEN INDIVIDUAL TEETH ARE MISALIGNED = PROBLEME POT APAREA CAND ANUMITI DINTI NU SUNT ALINIATI15. CROWDED TEETH MEANS THAT TEETH ARE NOT ALIGNED IN A PROPER ARCH SHAPE = DINTI INGHESUITI SE REFERA LA DINTI CE NU SUNT ALINIATI DUPA O FORMA CORECTA DE ARCADA16. SPACED TEETH MEANS THAT GAPS FORM BETWEEN TEETH = SPATIEREA DENTARA SE REFERA LA DINTII CU SPATII INTRE EI17. A MISSING TOOTH CAN CAUSE NEIGHBORING TEETH TO DRIFT INTO THE SPACE = UN DINTE LIPSA POATE DUCE LA MIGRAREA DINTILOR VECINI IN SPATIUL REZULTAT18. HAVING ROTATED TEETH CAN PREVENT TEETH FROM BEING PROPERLY ALIGNED = DINTII ROTATI POT DUCE LA LIPSA ALINIERII CORECTE19. IDEAL ALIGNMENT ENABLES PROPER DENTAL FUNCTION AND ESTHETICS = ALINIEREA IDEALA PERMITE FUNCTIONAREA CORECTA A DINTILOR SI UN ZAMBET DESAVARSIT

Ideal Alignment and Occlusion = Alinierea Ideala si Ocluzia

1. IDEAL TOOTH POSITIONING ENABLES PROPER DENTAL FUNCTION AND ESTHETICS = POZITIONAREA IDEALA A DINTILOR PERMITE FUNCTIONAREA CORECTA A DINTILOR SI UN ZAMBET DESAVARSIT2. TEETH SHOULD BITE TOGETHER PROPERLY. THIS IS CALLED OCCLUSION = DINTII TREBUIE SA MUSTE IMPREUNA CORECT. ACEASTA SE NUMESTE OCLUZIE3. POINTS OF TEETH IN LOWER JAW MEET DEPRESSIONS OF TEETH IN UPPER JAW IN PROPER OCCLUSION = OCLUZIE CORECTA = VARFURILE DINTILOR MANDIBULARI SE INTALNESC CU SANTURILE DINTILOR SUPERIORI 4. IDEAL ALIGNMENT AND OCCLUSION BENEFIT THE HEALTH AND FUNCTION OF TEETH = ALINIEREA IDEALA SI OCLUZIA ASIGURA SANATATEA SI FUNCTIA CORECTA A DINTILOR

Overjet = Inocluzia Sagitala

1. OVERJET IS WHEN THE UPPER TEETH ARE AHEAD OF THE LOWER TEETH BY MORE THAN 1MM = INOCLUZIA SAGITALA = DINTII SUPERIORI SUNT INAINTEA CELOR INFERIORI CU MAI MULT DE 1 MM2. IDEAL BITE HAS A SLIGHT OVERJET OF 1MM = MUSCATURA IDEALA ARE O USOARA INOCLUZIE SAGITALA DE 1MM

Anterior Crossbite = Ocluzia Inversa Frontala

1. ANTERIOR CROSSBITE IS WHEN UPPER, FRONT TEETH ARE INSIDE LOWER TEETH=OCLUZIA INVERSA FRONTALA = DINTII ANTERIOR INFERIORI SUNT CIRCUMSCRISI DE CEI SUPERIORI2. LEFT UNCORRECTED, THE ANTERIOR CROSSBITE CAN CAUSE TEETH TO WEAR DOWN = NECORECTATA, OCLUZIA INVERSA FRONTALA POATE DUCE LA UZURA DINTILOR (ABRAZIUNE)3. IN IDEAL OCCLUSION, UPPER TEETH ARE SLIGHTLY AHEAD OF LOWER TEETH = IN OCLUZIA IDEALA, DINTII SUPERIORI II DEPASESC PE CEI INFERIORI

Posterior Crossbite = Ocluzia Inversa Laterala

1. OCCLUSION DESCRIBES THE WAY TEETH BITE TOGETHER HELPING YOU TO CHEW FOOD = OCLUZIA SE REFERA LA MODUL DE INTALNIRE AL DINTILOR CE VA AJUTA SA MESTECATI2. OCCLUSION PROBLEM CAUSED BY NARROW UPPER ARCH IS CALLED POSTERIOR CROSSBITE = OCLUZIA INVERSA LATERALA = PROBLEMELE OCLUZALE CAUZATE DE O ARCADA SUPERIOARA INGUSTA3. IN AN IDEAL BITE, THE TEETH MESH TOGETHER PROPERLY = INTR-O MUSCATURA IDEALA DINTII SE ANGRENEAZA CORECT

Open Bite = Ocluzia Deschisa

1. OPEN BITE IS WHEN FRONT TEETH FAIL TO OVERLAP VERTICALLY WHEN TEETH BITE TOGETHER = OCLUZIA DESCHISA = DINTII ANTERIORI NU SE SUPRAPUN CAND DINTII MUSCA IMPREUNA2. IN A PROPER BITE, FRONT TEETH OVERLAP BY 1-3MM = INTR-O MUSCATURA CORECTA, DINTII ANTERIORI SE SUPRAPUN PE 1-3 MM

Deep Bite = Ocluzia Adanca

1. A DEEP BITE HAS TOO MUCH VERTICAL OVERLAP = O OCLUZIE ADANCA ARE PREA MULTA SUPRAACOPERIRE VERTICALA2. IN A PROPER BITE, FRONT TEETH OVERLAP BY 1-3MM = INTR-O MUSCATURA CORECTA, DINTII ANTERIORI SE SUPRAPUN PE 1-3 MM

1. TRADITIONALLY, WHEN TEETH ARE RESTORED, IT IS A LENGTHY PROCESS INVOLVING MULTIPLE DENTAL VISITS.2. FIRST THE PATIENT COMES IN, THE DENTIST PREPARES THE TOOTH, AND THEN TAKES AN IMPRESSION.3. THE PATIENT THEN GOES HOME WITH A TEMPORARY RESTORATION IN THEIR MOUTH.4. MEANWHILE, THE IMPRESSION IS SENT TO A DENTAL LAB WHERE THE FINAL RESTORATION IS MADE.5. TO CREATE THE RESTORATION, AN ACCURATE MODEL IS FIRST MADE FROM THE IMPRESSION.6. THE MODEL IS PLACED ON A INSTRUMENT THAT SIMULATES JAW MOVEMENT, ENSURING IT WILL FUNCTION PROPERLY.7. WAX IS FORMED INTO THE SHAPE OF THE TOOTH TO CREATE A MOULD, WHICH IS FILLED WITH THE RESTORATION MATERIAL.8. THIS IS CALLED THE CASTING PROCEDURE.9. THE CROWN IS THEN TRIMMED AND POLISHED SO IT WILL FIT PERFECTLY IN THEIR MOUTH.10. ONE OF THE DISADVANTAGES IS THAT THE PATIENT HAS TO WAIT 10 - 15 DAYS FOR THEIR FINAL RESTORATION.11. ANOTHER KEY PROBLEM IS THAT WHILE THE PATIENT IS WAITING, THE TEMPORARY OFTEN FALLS OUT.12. THIS MEANS THE PATIENT HAS TO COME BACK TO THE DENTIST TO REPLACE THE TEMPORARY.13. ONCE THE FINAL RESTORATION IS SENT FROM THE LAB, THE PATIENT RETURNS TO HAVE IT CEMENTED IN PLACE.14. PROBLEM: CUSPAL FRACTURE ABOVE THE GUM SOLUTION: CEREC RESTORATION.15. TRADITIONAL FILLING MATERIALS OFTEN BREAKDOWN. THIS MEANS A RESTORATION SUCH AS A CROWN IS REQUIRED.16. THE OLD FILLING IS CAREFULLY REMOVED.17. NEW FILLING IS PLACED TO SUPPORT THE RESTORATION.18. THE TOOTH IS PREPARED FOR THE RESTORATION.

19. THE PREPARED TOOTH, AND SURROUNDING TEETH, ARE COVERED WITH POWDER.20. A 3D CAMERA TAKES A PRECISE IMAGE OF THE TOOTH.21. CEREC 3D SOFTWARE IS USED TO DESIGN YOUR FINAL RESTORATION TO FIT PERFECTLY IN YOUR MOUTH.22. ONCE YOUR RESTORATION HAS BEEN DESIGNED A PORCELAIN BLOCK IS SELECTED TO MATCH YOUR TEETH COLOUR.23. YOUR RESTORATION IS MILLED TO A PRECISE FIT. THE MILLING TAKES 10 TO 15 MINUTES.24. THE RESTORATION IS BONDED IN PLACE.25. YOU CAN GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR CEREC RESTORATION THROUGH PROPER FLOSSING AND BRUSHING.26. THIS WILL TAKE A FEW MINUTES EACH DAY, BUT WILL HELP KEEP YOUR TEETH AND GUMS HEALTHY.27. BRUSHING HELPS TO REMOVE THE PLAQUE THAT FORMS ON YOUR TEETH EVERYDAY. 29. PLAQUE FORMS ACID CAUSING DECAY AND INFECTION 30. IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO USE A BRUSH WITH SOFT BRISTLES, WHICH IS GENTLE ON YOUR GUMS. 31. FIRST BRUSH THE CHEWING SURFACES OF YOUR TEETH WITH A BACK AND FORTH MOTION TO REMOVE FOOD PARTICLES.32. GENTLY BRUSH YOUR TEETH IN A CIRCULAR MOTION WITH THE BRISTLES AT A 45-DEGREE ANGLE TOWARDS THE GUM.33. DO THE SAME ON THE INNER SURFACES OF YOUR UPPER TEETH.34. THEN REPEAT THESE SAME STEPS ON YOUR LOWER TEETH. 35. AFTER BRUSHING, RINSE YOUR MOUTH AND CHECK TO SEE IF YOU'VE MISSED ANY PLACES. 36. FLOSSING REMOVES PLAQUE WHERE A TOOTHBRUSH CANNOT REACH. THESE AREAS ARE:37. ALONG THE GUMLINE...38. AND BETWEEN YOUR TEETH.39. IF THE PLAQUE IS NOT REMOVED, IT FORMS ACID. THIS CAUSES TEETH TO DECAY AND GUMS TO BECOME INFECTED.40. TO FLOSS YOUR TEETH, START BY TAKING ABOUT 12 INCHES OF FLOSS.41. SLIDE THE FLOSS BETWEEN YOUR TEETH CURVING AROUND EACH TOOTH MAKING A "C" SHAPE.42. MAKE THREE SCOOPS ON EACH SIDE OF EVERY TOOTH GOING SLIGHTLY UNDER THE GUMLINE. 43. REPEAT THIS PROCESS WITH THE LOWER TEETH. DON’T FORGET TO FLOSS BEHIND YOUR BACK TEETH.44. REMEMBER TO BRUSH AND FLOSS YOUR TEETH PROPERLY EVERY DAY TO KEEP YOUR TEETH AND GUMS HEALTHY. 45. MILLIONS OF PEOPLE, LIKE YOU, HAVE CHOSEN CEREC'S ONE-VISIT DENTISTRY46. TO HAVE TEETH RESTORED IN LESS TIME AND ACHIEVE NATURAL LOOKING, LONG LASTING RESULTS.
