Diagnostics and planning of orthodontic treatment of patients with crowded teeth position with the use of elastomeric correcting splints

: 3D scanning of plaster jaw models and further processing of the received data in editing program for three dimensional models Rapid Form 2006 Basis is one of the used methods of diagnostics of patients with crowded teeth position (measurement of anthropometric parameters of jaw models, dental arches symmetry, sizes and forms of dentitions). On 3D jaw models with crowded teeth position there were planned trajectories of gradual single tooth displacement in such a way that to move them in new correct position. Prescribing determined step with which the tooth would be moved there was made a series of individual plastic jaw models corresponding to each stage of treatment by stereolithographic method. On the received models there was made a series of elastomeric correcting splints producing some pressure upon teeth and making for their displacement.
