Deep bite malocclusion impacts function of the stomatognathic system, patients’ quality of life and self-stem by compromising oral and facial esthetics. The malocclusion can involve teeth and facial skeleton, for such is one of the most challenging malocclusion treatments. The aim of this investigation is to check the clinical belief that Planas’ Equiplan is efficient to treat deep bite malocclusion. Dental overbite was measured in 21 patients submitting to Jaw Functional Orthopedics treatment at post-graduation course. The inclusion criteria were a vertical trespass of the incisal border of the upper incisors covering the vestibular face of the lower incisors more than 3 mm, treatment cooperation and a consent form signed by the patients, or their legal tutor, allowing the use of the data obtained for research and didactic purposes. The initial measurement (T0) and 15 months treatment (T1) was collected to study overbite behavior during treatment with Planas’ Equiplan. The mean overbite of the sample at T0 was 5,02 ± 1,311 mm, at T1 the mean overbite was 2,38 ± 1,026 mm. The difference T1-T0 is –2,65 ± 1,462 mm ( 𝑝 (cid:3407) 0,01). The data presented here supports the efficacy of the use of Planas’ Equiplan in the treatment of Deep bite Malocclusion. functional orthopedic appliances.","PeriodicalId":330655,"journal":{"name":"Jaw Functional Orthopedics and Craniofacial Growth","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129596541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sample was composed of 31 individuals of both sexes aged between 7 and 17 years old, who presented median line deviation and predominant unilateral mastication. The evaluation was made by three professionals (a speech therapist, a physiotherapist and a dentist) through a postural exam, where the patient is placed on a symmetrograph in an erect position: the head in position of repose, eyes fixed on the horizon, arms along the body, and feet physiologically positioned. Each patient was analyzed under frontal, sagittal, and lateral planes, in search for an eventual lateral deviation of the spine. Additionally, the posture was analyzed in photographs and videos, where body movement was recorded. After clinical analyses, a segmenting radiographic study of the spinal column was conducted. Results showed a high prevalence of head rotation towards the chewing side and lateral flexion towards the opposite side. Also, forward head posture (anteroposition) and scoliotic attitude were found. The X-rays confirmed a high prevalence of scoliosis with no association to the chewing side. The data suggest that children and adolescents with unilateral mastication present some postural deviation.","PeriodicalId":330655,"journal":{"name":"Jaw Functional Orthopedics and Craniofacial Growth","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129832893","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Jaw functional orthopedics offers therapeutic resources to control this malocclusion at a timely age since it does not require dental anchorage. Children with Class III malocclusion have difficulty in chewing, phonation, and appearance is negatively affected. The unraveling of the bite, as soon as possible, is essential to offer the facial maxillary complex the proper function during the child’s development. The cases presented here demonstrate the immediate effect of these therapeutic resources. The patients (age ranging from three to five years old, three girls and one boy) sought orthodontic care because of anterior crossbite. They were treated at an opportune age through functional orthopedic devices to draw attention to these therapeutic resources and their immediate results. Additionally, through a search in the PubMed (MEDLINE) database, in April 2021, using the terms “class III malocclusion” and “early treatment” and using the time limit filter of the last ten years, in English, 28 articles from reviews and clinical trials were found. Of which, by reading the abstracts, 20 were selected. Classic books and articles on Jaw Functional Orthopedics were also consulted.
