On 15/3/2024, Dr. Romina Vignolo Lobato will participate in the XIII Congress of the Spanish Society of Integrated Paediatric Dentistry to be held in León on 14, 15 and 16 March 2024. She will participate on the 15th, with a paper entitled “Early treatment and orthopaedics with aligners New tools in early treatment with aligners. Minimal intervention orthodontics”.
The question of when to intervene in the treatment of malocclusions has been a matter of debate throughout time. Classically, the main aim of early treatment has been focused on the correction of transverse problems and waiting until close to the growth peak to try to stop mandibular growth and/or stimulate maxillary growth and achieve an apparently normal interarch relationship.
Interceptive orthodontic interventions in the primary and early mixed dentition have the common aim of allowing a more favourable functional growth of the jaws and the consequent development of a satisfactory occlusion. For such treatments, the most common malocclusion features to be intercepted are dentoalveolar compression, crowding and correction of the inclination of the occlusal plane that will lead to correct mandibular dynamics.
Currently, treatment with aligners offers us a wide range of tools to carry out early treatment and solve malocclusions in the three planes of space. Achieving more stable results in the long term. The application of aligners in orthodontics at an early age “is based on discovering where, when and how to act on the neural receptor centres that provide the developmental response of the stomatognathic system so that,
by stimulating them physiologically, they provide us with a normal and balanced developmental response”.
