Considerable differences could be measured in the force-deflexion-diagram whilst using different neckstraps. These differences could be explained by the different material qualities. 2. Force-deflexion-diagramm achieved in vitro could not be transfered directly to the therapy of patients. 3. Extreme asymmetrical force distributions at the outer bows will arise during the therapy with extraoral forces, because of the friction between skin, textile neckstrap and adjustable traction bands. These asymmetrical force distributions will arise particularly during functional movements of the head. Turnings and noddings lead to extreme values, by reaching the maximum asymptotically. 4. The use of a force snap-away neckpad also often leads to asymmetrical force distributions at the outer bows. 5. Asymmetries occur less often whilst using the low-cervical-pull according to Sander, due to the reduced friction between the two plastic parts of this headgear system. Head movements nearly always lead to an equalization of the forces at the outer bow. Extreme forces last less than one second. The mean value of the force at the outer bow, ascertained over a longer period, is only a little bit less than the force of 500 g adjusted at the beginning. 6. The mean value of the forces measured over a longer period while wearing an adjustable traction band is nearly 50% less than the force adjusted at the beginning. 7. The adjustment of the force at the outer bows is done while the patient is sitting in an upright position. However the patient is normally very seldom in such a position so that, as a rule, the forces at the outer bows are less than the adjusted force. 8. The problem of lesser forces at the outer bows can be compensated by a longer wearing period and by a higher initial force adjustment. 9. The adjustment of the force at the outer bow with the help of a spring-balance leads to inaccuracy and, as rule, the real force application to the molar is significantly less. 10. Only the wearing of the low-cervical-pull according to Sander leads to reproducible force values during head turning and noddings. Also the mean force value corresponds to the initial applied force. 11. While using an adjustable traction band it is advisable to change this often during the treatment. Otherwise the function of the treatment with the extraoral force will be reduced because of the loss of elasticity of the traction band.</p>","PeriodicalId":77592,"journal":{"name":"Praktische Kieferorthopadie","volume":"4 4","pages":"305-22"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13290362","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 dimension of the asymmetrical effect depends on the configuration of the outer bows. 2. The function of an asymmetrical face-bow can be increased or decreased by eccentric bendings. 3. According to the geometry at the outer-bows the force at the outer-bow is divided at a different percentage onto the molars. 4. While the forces increase the asymmetrical effect will decrease when the outer-bow is too flexible. 5. Attention has to be payed at each control-appointment to the distance of the longer outer-bow to the cheek. 6. The asymmetrical swivel face-bow did not produce a greater asymmetrical function than other asymmetrical headgears. The reason of this fact is, that only the geometry of the outer-bows is responsible for the unilateral distalisation. 7. The asymmetrical swivel face-bow as described above is advisable to use because eccentric bendings and less forces at the outer-bows will decrease, stop or even reverse the asymmetrical effect. 8. The side-effect of any asymmetrical face-bow is a lateral force-component. This force-component can cause a cross-bite at the molar which has to be more distalized. The molar which is not be moved by the asymmetrical face-bow will be moved buccally by this force-component. 9. The swivel face-bow according to Sander prevents the buccal movement of the molar which should not be moved. But the tendency to create a cross-bite for the molar which should be more distalized, increases. 10.

Indications of these headgearsamples are the (asymmetrical) retraction of teeth and groups of teeth, intrusion of anterior teeth including a very effective support of torque control, inhibition of horizontal and vertical growth of maxilla and mandible, compensation of side effects of Class I and Class III rubberbands, midline-corrections and retention following surgical correction of open bites. The headgear force can either be distributed directly on the teeth to be moved, on hooks which are soldered on the archwire, on chin caps or mandibular troughs resp. on functional appliances. The advantages of the J-hook headgear are an excellent control of anchorage, the variability (primarily of the vector of forces), but also a consistency after having established the assigned force vector, a consistency which also includes the amount of choosen force. Further advantageous is the simultaneous retraction of teeth in both arches as is the easy and safe handling of this headgear by patients and by the orthodontic team. In contrast to these outstanding advantages there are only very few disadvantages. These have mainly to be seen in a tendency of dental arch expansion and the rare occurrence of certain pressure induced problems in the soft tissues of the skull. In the first case a constriction of the archwire and even more a transpalatal arch will help to prevent this from happening. In the second case the best counter measure is the use of accessory soft pads.</p>","PeriodicalId":77592,"journal":{"name":"Praktische Kieferorthopadie","volume":"4 4","pages":"267-84"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13290359","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}
