Guided Orthodontics ®
Cranio-Mandibular Orthodontics takes care of the TemporoMandibular Joint (TMJ), while tooth movements are made with orthodontic appliances. However, it's not so easy to predict the final 3D condylar position at the end of treatment, just with wire activations and elastics. This is crucial for a healthy TMJ and for good function.
Joining the knowledge from Orthodontics and Prosthodontics, we managed, with the help of special temporary overlays, to keep the mandible and the condyles in an ideal position, while the teeth can be moved, with much more precision, to their final position.
The Wax-up must be done on the articulator, in a previously established Therapeutic Position (TP), after a thourough Diagnosis.
The TO GO ® Wax-up must copy the functional anatomy structures, responsible for the mandibular forward adaptation, the Retrusive Control and obviously, the posterior support, to protect the TMJ from probable overload during Bruxism.
