Hypodontia is defined as the developmental absence of one or more teeth excluding the third molars. It is one of the most common dental anomalies, and can have a negative impact on function, and also appearance. It rarely occurs in primary teeth (also known as deciduous, milk, first and baby teeth) and the most commonly affected are the adult second premolars and the upper lateral incisors. It usually occurs as part of a syndrome that involves other abnormalities and requires multidisciplinary treatment.

Contents

The phenomenon can be subdivided into the following according to the number of teeth concerned:

  1. Hypodontia: one to six missing teeth excluding the third molars
  2. Oligodontia: six or more missing permanent teeth excluding the third molars
  3. Anodontia: complete absence of teeth

Signs and symptoms

Typically, all baby teeth will be present by the age of three. As for all adult teeth, they erupt between the ages 6 to 14, with the exception of the third molar, also known as the wisdom teeth which normally erupt between 17 and 25 years of age. If the tooth has yet to erupt by an appropriate age, panoramic x-rays are taken.

Dental features

Microdontia may be present in one or more of the other teeth. This means that the teeth appear smaller than normal, may be observed in both the primary and permanent dentition. This condition can be genetically-linked and in severe cases, may present themselves in the form of ectodermal dysplasia, cleft lip or palate or Down Syndrome. [1] A delay in tooth development may also serve as an indication, whereby the absence of an adult successor slows down the normal resorption of the roots of the baby teeth, which is the progressive loss of parts of the tooth.

Misplaced (ectopic) positioning of the adult teeth may be discovered upon examination or a radiograph. One of the consequences may be an adult tooth intercepting with a baby tooth, causing premature loss or wrong positioning. This can be due to either the absence of neighboring teeth acting as a guide during eruption or the lack of space in the jaw for them to erupt into because of malocclusion. [2]

Skeletal features

Several studies have discovered that anteriorly missing teeth can accompany retrognathic maxilla, also known as an underbite, prognathic mandible, where the lower jaw protrudes out more than normal, and smaller posterior cranial base length. Occurrence of hypodontia can be associated with reduced anterior lower facial height and lip protrusion. This can be linked to lower maxillary to mandibular plane angles.

A more acute mandibular angle and flatter chin may develop as a result. These characteristics become more prominent as the condition becomes progressively severe, particularly when more than one tooth is missing. [3]

Other dental and radiographic features

Data derived from principal component analysis of radiographic images show that children with mild hypodontia may display significant increase of the interincisal angle and decrease in the maxillary and mandibular incisor angles.

Cephalometric tracing is commonly used to study a patient's dentofacial proportions in the craniofacial complex. This can aid in predicting growth changes, allowing dentists, especially orthodontists, to develop a suitable treatment plan. Coupled with that, findings consistent among individuals include:

  1. Anterior hypodontia associated with hyper divergent craniofacial pattern;
  2. A tendency toward a class III malocclusion identified in maxillary hypodontia, and;
  3. Reduced lower posterior facial height in children with posterior and mandibular hypodontia.

Cause

Several theories regarding the aetiology of hypodontia have been proposed in existing literature. There have been various theories mostly looking into genetic and environmental aspects and how they may both be involved. [5] However, the exact cause remains unclear. The extent of individual influences of genetic and environmental factors is still widely debated. [6]

Theories regarding the mechanism through which hypodontia occurs can be categorised into evolutional or anatomical. [7]

Preliminary studies focused on an evolutionary approach which suggested shortening of the intermaxillary complex and thus shorter arches may contribute to a decrease in number of teeth. This was also suggested in 1945 by Dahlberg using Butler's Field Theory that focused on evolution and development of mammalian teeth into human dentition in an attempt to analyse different of agenesis. [8] In each jaw, four morphological sites were identified (incisors, canines, premolars and molars). The tooth at the end of each region was less genetically stable and hence more prone to absence. In contrast, the tooth most mesial in each region seemed to be more genetically stable. [9] A subsequent theory hypothesised the teeth at the end of each region were possibly "vestigial bodies" that became obsolete during the evolutionary process. At present, it has been theorised that evolutionary change is working to decrease the human dentition by the loss of an incisor, premolar and molar in each quadrant. According to Vastardis (2000), the size of jaws and number of teeth seem to decrease along with human evolution. [10]

Theories focusing on anatomical principle, hypothesised that specific areas of the dental lamina are especially prone to environmental effects during tooth maturation. [7] Svinhufvud et al. (1988) suggested that teeth that were more prone to absence developed in areas of initial fusion of the jaw. For instance, maxillary lateral incisors originate where the lateral maxillae and medial nasal bone processes fuse. [11] In contrast, Kjaer et al. (1994) suggested regions where innervation developed were more sensitive than areas of fusion. [12] Commonly affected regions were found to undergo innervation last, this might imply the developmental relationship between nerve and hard tissue. It is thought to be local nerve development that affects tooth agenesis rather than global development, as brainstem anomalies have not been seen to affect tooth development. [12]

Presently, the role of polygenic and environmental factors on hypodontia is recognised in most theories.

Environmental factors

Environmental factors can be classified into two main groups, invasive and non-invasive. These factors act additively or independently, ultimately affecting positioning and physical development of the tooth. [13]

Invasive environmental factors potentially affect tooth development and positioning leading to hypodontia and impaction. Examples include jaw fractures, surgical procedures and extraction of the preceding deciduous tooth. [13] Treatment such as irradiation has been shown to have severe effects on developing teeth. In a smaller capacity, chemotherapy was also found to have a similar effect. Thalidomide (N-phthaloylglutamine) was also discovered to have a causative effect on mothers who took the drug during pregnancy, resulting in congenitally missing teeth in their children. A link was found between systemic diseases, endocrine disruption (i.e. idiopathic hypoparathyroidism and pseudohypoparathyroidism) [14] and ectodermal dysplasia. However, a definite etiological relationship has yet to be established. [13] Examples of infections include rubella [15] and candida. [16] Exposure to PCBs (such as dioxin), [17] [18] [19] allergies, [20] and toxic epidermal necrolysis following a drug reaction [21] may also be contributing factors.

In a recent study assessing environmental risk factors for hypodontia, it was established that maternal smoking does play a causative role in hypodontia. Passive smoking and caffeine were also assessed but showed no statistical significance. [22]

The Journal of the American Dental Association published preliminary data suggesting a statistical association between hypodontia of the permanent teeth and epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). The study shows that women with EOC are 8.1 times more likely to have hypodontia than are women without EOC. The suggestion therefore is that hypodontia can serve as a "marker" for potential risk of EOC in women. [23]

Genetics

Genetic causes also involve the genes MSX1 and PAX9. [24] [25]

Genetic associations for selective tooth agenesis ("STHAG") include:

Failure of tooth formation due to disturbances during the early stages of development could be the cause of congenital missing teeth; this is also known as tooth agenesis. A variety of studies show that missing teeth are commonly associated with genetic and environmental factors. Some literature also shows that a combination of both factors may contribute to the occurrence of hypodontia. [26]

Most craniofacial characteristics are influenced by both genetic and environmental factors through complex interactions. The variable expressivity of traits can be either completely genetically determined, environmentally determined, or both. That genetics plays an important role in hypodontia is shown in many different cases. [27] There are hundreds of genes expressed and involved in regulating tooth morphogenesis. [28] [29] Although a single gene defect may contribute to hypodontia, more studies propose that hypodontia is the result of one or more points of closely linked genetic mutations, or polygenic defects. [30] [31] [32]

The pattern of congenitally missing teeth seen in monozygotic twins is different, suggesting an underlying epigenetic factor, which may be due to the simultaneous occurrence of two anomalies. [33] This multifactorial aetiology involves environmental factors which trigger the genetic anomalies, resulting in the occurrence of dental agenesis. Common environmental factors include infection, trauma and drugs which predispose to the condition. In hereditary cases, evidence of dental germ developing after surrounding tissues have closed the space required for development may be a large contributing factor, as well as such genetic disorders as Down syndrome, [1] ectodermal dysplasia, [34] cleidocranial dysplasia, [35] and cleft lip and cleft palate. [36]

MSX1

MSX1 (muscle segment homeobox 1) is involved in condensation of ectomesenchyme in the tooth germ. Among the members of homeobox genes, MSX1 and MSX2 are crucial in mediating direct epithelial-mesenchymal interactions during tooth development by expressing in regions of condensing ectomesenchyme in the tooth germ. [37] MSX1 mutations have been identified as a contributing factor in missing second premolars, third molars, and a small percentage of first molars. MSX1 is less likely to cause anterior agenesis. [37] [38] [39]

Heterozygous mutations in PAX9 (paired box gene 9) could arrest tooth morphogenesis as it plays a role of transcription the gene expressed in tooth mesenchyme at the bud stage during tooth development. [40] [41] A study showed that single nucleotide polymorphisms in PAX9 were highly associated with missing upper lateral incisors. [29]

AXIN2

The AXIN2 (AXIS inhibition protein 2) gene is a negative regulator of the Wnt signalling pathway, which is important in regulating cell fate, proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. [42] Its polymorphic variant may be associated with hypodontia such as missing lower incisors or in a more severe form of agenesis like oligontia (lack of six or more permanent teeth). [43] [44]

EDA

EDA provides instructions for making a protein called ectodysplasin A. [45] It encodes transmembrane protein that is part of TNF (tumour necrosis factor) family of ligands. EDA gene defects cause ectodermal dysplasia, which is also known as X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. [46] Common dental features of ectodermal dysplasia are multiple missing teeth and microdontia. [47]

PAX9 and TGFA are involved in regulating between MSX1 and PAX9, causing hypodontia of the molars. [33]

Hypodontia can be found in isolated cases too. The familiar or sporadic type of isolations are more frequently reported than the syndromic type. Isolated cases of autosomal dominant, [48] [49] autosomal recessive, [50] [51] or X-linked [52] inheritance patterns may have an impact on the isolation conditions in expressing variation of both penetration and expressivity of traits. [53] Mutations in MSX, PAX9 and TGFA genes are known to cause congenitally missing teeth in some racial groups.

Research

In the 1960s and 1970s, several studies were conducted sponsored by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, with the aim of finding a link between genetics and hypodontia. [54] [55]

Impact

There are numerous studies and research reports on the prevalence, aetiology, [56] and treatment of hypodontia and the dentoskeletal effect of hypodontia. [57] A few studies have investigated Oral Health-related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) in individuals with hypodontia [56] and provided some evidence that hypodontia may have an impact on quality of life.

Psychosocial

Cosmetic dentistry has become more notable and prevalent in modern society. [57] Interpersonal relationships and perceived qualities, such as intelligence, friendliness, social class, and popularity can be affected by dentofacial appearance. [57] Some studies have shown that the extent of complaints made by patients[ further explanation needed ] was associated with the severity of the condition and the number of missing permanent teeth. [57]

Meta-analyses and theoretical reviews have demonstrated that attractive children are seen by others as more intelligent and exhibit more positive social behaviour and traits, other than receiving much more positive treatment than their less attractive counterparts. [58] Therefore, a divergence from perceived ideal dentofacial aesthetic, particularly in children, might adversely affect self-esteem and self-confidence besides attracting mockery from peers. [59]

It is therefore reasonable to theorize that deviations from "normal" or "ideal" dentofacial aesthetic could be destructive to an individual's psychosocial and emotional [60] well-being, which brings upon some psychosocial distress in that individual as a result of their condition. [57]

Functional

Individuals with hypodontia tend to have deeper bites and spaces. [61] [62] Further deepening of the bite can also be seen on individuals with missing posterior teeth. Apart from that, hypodontia may lead to non-working interferences, poor gingival contours and over-eruptions of the opposing teeth. [61]

It has been found that individuals with hypodontia experience more difficulty during mastication or functioning movements due to smaller occlusal table available. A recent cross-sectional study showed that hypodontia patients have more difficulties in chewing, especially if the deciduous teeth associated with the missing permanent teeth had been exfoliated. [57] Despite currently limited evidence to support this statement, it is plausible that hypodontia may pose functional limitations, which eventually affect that individual's general well-being and quality of life. [61]

Hypodontia can indeed pose limitations on the chewing ability of a patient. [63] The condition can be associated with split in the upper lips – a condition known as oral cleft. Hypodontia can have impacts on speech, aesthetics and function of muscles in the mouth. [64] As a result, hypodontia can have negative impacts on the quality of life, although the condition can be well managed and treated by dentists and orthodontists. To manage the condition, the patient will need to have long-term orthodontic treatment. [65]

Financial

Patient with hypodontia requires careful treatment plan due to complex case in order to ensure the best treatment outcomes. Such treatment plans require multi-disciplinary approach, which usually come at a financial cost to both patient and possibly their family. [66] Due to this reason, a team consists of different dental specialties is involved in the patient care. [67] [68]

Management

Hypodontia is a condition that can present in various ways with differing severities. This results in a wide range of treatment methods available. [69] Those affected should be allowed to consider and select the most suitable option for themselves. [70] Early diagnosis of hypodontia is critical for treatment success. [71] The treatment of hypodontia involves specialists in departments such as oral and maxillofacial surgery, operative dentistry, pediatric dentistry, orthodontics and prosthodontics. [33]

Before determining a treatment plan, the following should be determined:

Traditionally, the management of hypodontia has involved replacing missing teeth. By replacing the missing teeth, it can prevent neighbouring teeth tilting or drifting and also prevents the overeruption of opposing teeth which could then impact on occlusion and temporo-mandibular joint dysfunction and impact the patient's susceptibility to gum disease, tooth wear and tooth fractures. [73] However, studies have suggested that a stable occlusion can be achieved even with a shortened arch of 10 occluding pairs of teeth. The findings support the concept that a healthy and stable occlusion can exist despite missing teeth as long as an acceptable number of teeth are in occlusion. However, this management technique may not be suitable for those with gum disease, parafunctioning activity (tooth grinding or clenching) or malocclusion. [74]

It should also be noted that spaces within the dental arch should be monitored, especially in younger patients, as teeth are more likely to drift, tilt or over-erupt. To do this, study models and clinical photographs could be taken in order to record baseline records. [73] If tooth movement was to occur, another form of management may be required depending on the severity and nature. [73]

The following below are the methods used to manage hypodontia:

Accept spacing

This is a method suitable to individuals if the space from a missing tooth is not deemed to be an aesthetic concern. [75] Appearance may not be a problem in some cases, for example, when spacing present behind the canines may not be particularly visible, depending on the individual. [75]

Management of retained primary teeth

When there is a case of hypodontia of the permanent premolar teeth, the primary molar teeth would often remain in the mouth beyond the time they are meant to be lost. [76] Therefore, with a presence of healthy primary teeth in the absence of a permanent successor, retaining the primary teeth can be a feasible management of hypodontia.

The primary molars present also functions as a space maintainer, prevent alveolar bone resorption and delays future prosthodontic space replacement by acting as a semi permanent solution going into adulthood [72] Previous studies also shown a good prognosis of retained primary molars going into adulthood. [77] [78] However, leaving the primary teeth in place may run the risk of tooth infraocclusion where the occlusal surface is below that of adjacent teeth. [33] [72]

Despite this, the retention of primary teeth, particularly molars, are more susceptible to occlusal wear, over-eruption of opposing teeth and the loss of inter-occlusal space. [79]

Orthodontic space closure

Orthodontic space closure [69] [80] is a way of using orthodontics in order to close spaces in the mouth where the teeth are missing. The ideal age for definitive orthodontic treatment is early adolescence but it is important to consider the patient's age, severity of hypodontia, patient expectations and their commitment to treatment. [81] It can be an option for hypodontia management in the case of missing maxillary lateral incisors through the reshaping, and mesial re-positioning of the adjacent canine. [80] This management is indicated in hypodontia cases of Class I molar relationship with severe crowding in the mandibular anterior region where the extraction of lower premolar leads to a predictable outcome, and Class II molar relationship in the absence of crowding and protrusion of the mandibular anterior dentition. [80] [82] [83]

When moving the canine into the space of the lateral incisor, the dimensions of the canine, root position and gingival position differ from a lateral incisor and therefore preparation of the canine is necessary in order for it to mimic the incisor. [73] This may involve:

The use of veneers can also be used instead of composite however, these are more expensive and more time-consuming.

There have been several studies which showed the advantages of orthodontic space closure without prosthodontic space replacements. [82] [84] The main advantage mentioned is the early completion of the treatment during early adolescence and the long lasting result of the treatment outcome. In individuals with a high smile line, the mesial re-positioning of canine maintains the normal soft tissue architecture is important in maintaining the aesthetic appearance. This option also negates the risks and costs that comes with prosthodontic treatment and the impression that there is no missing tooth. [80] [82] [84]

Some factors need to be considered when making a decision whether to undergo space closure. These include facial profile, size and dimension of canine, the shade of colour of the teeth and the gingival contour and height. [80] [82] [83] Group function occlusion is usually present as a result of the mesial movement of the canine. In order to maintain the stability of the closed space, direct-bonded lingual retainers are usually required. [80]

Orthodontic space opening prior to prosthodontic treatment

The need for orthodontic space opening prior to prosthodontic management depends on the amount of edentulous space available in relation to adjacent teeth, occlusion and aesthetic concerns. [80] To determine the amount of space needed, three methods in the literature can be used which are the golden proportion , the Bolton Analysis and comparing the edentulous space with the contralateral tooth size if present. [85] [86]

Space opening and prosthodontic treatment is indicated where there is a Class I molar relationships in the absence of malocclusion Class III molar relationships presenting with a concave facial profile. [80] However, the alteration in appearance during orthodontic treatment (e.g. creating diastema for placement of prostheses) before the filling up the space, although temporary, can negatively impact the oral health-related quality of life in adolescents. [87]

Removable partial dentures

Removable partial dentures are known to be an effective interim method for maintaining functional and aesthetic demands in a growing patient, where definitive fixed restorations are not suitable yet. [75] Removable dentures act as a space maintainer and also prevent the migration of adjacent or opposing teeth, thereby preserving the face height. [75] They are also easy to adjust or add on to in the event of further tooth eruption. [75] However, it may be difficult for young individuals to adhere with wearing removable dentures, due to their bulk. [75] Some patients also find the idea of dentures functionally and socially unacceptable, making them unwilling to comply. [75] Removable prosthetic devices are also known to cause damage to the remaining teeth if worn over a long period of time. [75]

Fixed restorative options are generally preferred over removable ones. [75]

Tooth autotransplantation

Autotransplantation [70] involves the removal of a tooth from one socket and relocating to another socket in the same individual. If done successfully, it is able to ensure stable alveolar bone volume as there is continuous stimulation of the periodontal ligament. [33]

Implant supported tooth replacement

Placing dental implants has proven to be a predictable and reliable method of treating hypodontia, along with bringing excellent aesthetic results. [71] Implant placement should be delayed until jaw growth in an individual is complete. [33] One limitation of implant placement would be the need for a sufficient amount of bone volume, which if not met, may affect the positioning of the implant. [71] However, bone grafting can be carried out to overcome this. [71]

Epidemiology

Hypodontia is less common in the primary dentition, [6] with reported prevalence rates ranging from 0.5% in the Icelandic population [89] to 2.4% in the Japanese population. [90] In the primary dentition the teeth reported as most likely to be missing are the lateral incisors, both maxillary and mandibular. [91] [90] If a deciduous tooth is missing this will increase the risk of an absent successor. [92]

In the permanent dentition third molars are most commonly absent, and one study [92] found prevalence rates of between 20–22%. When third molars are ignored the prevalence rate for each tooth varies from study to study. [6] In Caucasian studies mandibular second premolars and maxillary lateral incisors are most often absent. [6] Several UK studies have found the lower second premolar to be most commonly absent. [93] [94] Studies from Asian populations report that the mandibular incisor is most commonly absent. [95]

A higher prevalence of hypodontia in females has been reported. [94] The most extensive studies have been in Caucasian populations and suggest a prevalence of 4–6%. [93] [94]

One study [96] looked at 33 previous studies with a sample size of 127,000, and concluded that the prevalence of hypodontia in the permanent dentition varied between continents, racial groups and genders. In the white European population they suggested a prevalence of 4.6% in males and 6.3% in females. In an African-American sample they found this to be 3.2% in males and 4.6% in females. The same study found that in the permanent dentition the most likely teeth to be missing and the frequency of these missing teeth was:

Human teeth function to mechanically break down items of food by cutting and crushing them in preparation for swallowing and digesting. As such, they are considered part of the human digestive system. Humans have four types of teeth: incisors, canines, premolars, and molars, which each have a specific function. The incisors cut the food, the canines tear the food and the molars and premolars crush the food. The roots of teeth are embedded in the maxilla or the mandible and are covered by gums. Teeth are made of multiple tissues of varying density and hardness.

Orthodontics is a dentistry specialty that addresses the diagnosis, prevention, management, and correction of mal-positioned teeth and jaws, as well as misaligned bite patterns. It may also address the modification of facial growth, known as dentofacial orthopedics.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Premolar</span> Transitional teeth located between the canine and molar teeth

The premolars, also called premolar teeth, or bicuspids, are transitional teeth located between the canine and molar teeth. In humans, there are two premolars per quadrant in the permanent set of teeth, making eight premolars total in the mouth. They have at least two cusps. Premolars can be considered transitional teeth during chewing, or mastication. They have properties of both the canines, that lie anterior and molars that lie posterior, and so food can be transferred from the canines to the premolars and finally to the molars for grinding, instead of directly from the canines to the molars.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Malocclusion</span> Medical condition

In orthodontics, a malocclusion is a misalignment or incorrect relation between the teeth of the upper and lower dental arches when they approach each other as the jaws close. The English-language term dates from 1864; Edward Angle (1855–1930), the "father of modern orthodontics", popularised it. The word "malocclusion" derives from occlusion, and refers to the manner in which opposing teeth meet.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Anodontia</span> Medical condition

Anodontia is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the congenital absence of all primary or permanent teeth. It is divided into two subsections, complete absence of teeth or only some absence of teeth. It is associated with the group of skin and nerve syndromes called the ectodermal dysplasias. Anodontia is usually part of a syndrome and seldom occurs as an isolated entity. There is usually no exact cause for anodontia. The defect results in the dental lamina obstruction during embryogenesis due to local, systemic and genetic factors.

Orthodontic technology is a specialty of dental technology that is concerned with the design and fabrication of dental appliances for the treatment of malocclusions, which may be a result of tooth irregularity, disproportionate jaw relationships, or both.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Tooth eruption</span> Process in tooth development

Tooth eruption is a process in tooth development in which the teeth enter the mouth and become visible. It is currently believed that the periodontal ligament plays an important role in tooth eruption. The first human teeth to appear, the deciduous (primary) teeth, erupt into the mouth from around 6 months until 2 years of age, in a process known as "teething". These teeth are the only ones in the mouth until a person is about 6 years old creating the primary dentition stage. At that time, the first permanent tooth erupts and begins a time in which there is a combination of primary and permanent teeth, known as the mixed dentition stage, which lasts until the last primary tooth is lost. Then, the remaining permanent teeth erupt into the mouth during the permanent dentition stage.

Occlusion, in a dental context, means simply the contact between teeth. More technically, it is the relationship between the maxillary (upper) and mandibular (lower) teeth when they approach each other, as occurs during chewing or at rest.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Overjet</span> Medical condition

Overjet is the extent of horizontal (anterior-posterior) overlap of the maxillary central incisors over the mandibular central incisors. In class II malocclusion the overjet is increased as the maxillary central incisors are protruded.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Crossbite</span> Medical condition

Crossbite is a form of malocclusion where a tooth has a more buccal or lingual position than its corresponding antagonist tooth in the upper or lower dental arch. In other words, crossbite is a lateral misalignment of the dental arches.

Dental pertains to the teeth, including dentistry. Topics related to the dentistry, the human mouth and teeth include:

Serial extraction is the planned extraction of certain deciduous teeth and specific permanent teeth in an orderly sequence and predetermined pattern to guide the erupting permanent teeth into a more favorable position.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Maxillary lateral incisor agenesis</span>

Maxillary lateral incisor agenesis (MLIA) is lack of development (agenesis) of one or both of the maxillary lateral incisor teeth. In normal human dentition, this would be the second tooth on either side from the center of the top row of teeth. The condition is bilateral if the incisor is absent on both sides or unilateral if only one is missing. It appears to have a genetic component.

Lingual braces are one of the many types of the fixed orthodontic treatment appliances available to patients needing orthodontics. They involve attaching the orthodontic brackets on the inner sides of the teeth. The main advantage of lingual braces is their near invisibility compared to the standard braces, which are attached on the buccal (cheek) sides of the tooth. Lingual braces were invented by Craven Kurz in 1976.

A lip bumper is a dental appliance used in orthodontics, for various purposes to correct a dentition by preventing the pressure from the soft tissue. Lip bumpers are usually used in orthodontic treatment where the patient has a crowded maxillary or mandibular teeth in an arch.

Elastics are rubber bands frequently used in the field of orthodontics to correct different types of malocclusions. The elastic wear is prescribed by an orthodontist or a dentist in an orthodontic treatment. The longevity of the elastic wear may vary from two weeks to several months. The elastic wear can be worn from 12 to 23 hours a day, either during the night or throughout the day depending on the requirements for each malocclusion. The many different types of elastics may produce different forces on teeth. Therefore, using elastics with specific forces is critical in achieving a good orthodontic occlusion.

Activator Appliance is an Orthodontics appliance that was developed by Viggo Andresen in 1908. This was one of the first functional appliances that was developed to correct functional jaw in the early 1900s. Activator appliance became the universal appliance that was used widely throughout Europe in the earlier part of the 20th century.

Molar distalization is a process in the field of Orthodontics which is used to move molar teeth, especially permanent first molars, distally (backwards) in an arch. This procedure is often used in treatment of patients who have Class 2 malocclusion. The cause is often the result of loss of E space in an arch due to early loss of primary molar teeth and mesial (forward) migration of the molar teeth. Sometimes molars are distalized to make space for other impacted teeth, such as premolars or canines, in the mouth.

Open bite is a type of orthodontic malocclusion which has been estimated to occur in 0.6% of the people in the United States. This type of malocclusion has no vertical overlap or contact between the anterior incisors. The term "open bite" was coined by Carevelli in 1842 as a distinct classification of malocclusion. Different authors have described the open bite in a variety of ways. Some authors have suggested that open bite often arises when overbite is less than the usual amount. Additionally, others have contended that open bite is identified by end-on incisal relationships. Lastly, some researchers have stated that a lack of incisal contact must be present to diagnose an open bite.

Orthodontic indices are one of the tools that are available for orthodontists to grade and assess malocclusion. Orthodontic indices can be useful for an epidemiologist to analyse prevalence and severity of malocclusion in any population.
