无托槽隐形矫治技术早期矫治儿童错 畸形的应用研究进展

Application of clear aligner therapy in early correction of children’s malocclusion:research progress

无托槽隐形矫治技术是一种新兴的口腔正畸治疗技术,随着材料学和生物力学的不断发展完善,该技术治疗错畸形的适应证范围逐渐扩大。相较于传统固定矫治技术,无托槽隐形矫治技术具有美观舒适、数字化诊断设计精确、疗效可预测、复诊间隔周期长的特点,近年来受到高度关注。儿童错畸形早期矫治存在生长发育的不可预测性、混合牙列间隙的管理、肌肉功能性治疗、矫形治疗的复杂性等特点,而隐形矫治力主要用于牙齿的移动,目前临床上对儿童错畸形早期矫治常需要结合传统矫治器来进行。本文综述无托槽隐形矫治技术早期矫治儿童错畸形的临床应用现状,以期为儿童错畸形早期矫治提供一种新的简便高效、安全的治疗方式。

Clear aligner therapy is a new orthodontic treatment.Its indications have been extended with the development of biomaterials and biomechanics.Compared with the traditional fixed orthodontic appliances,clear aligner therapy has attracted great attention in recent years because of the superior asthetics and comfort,the accuracy and predictability of digital planning,and long interval between each revisit.Clear aligner is mainly used for tooth movement,usually combined with conventional appliances for the treatment of early malocclusions in chilare involving many complexities such as the unpredictability of growth,dentition replacement monitoring,muscle functional adjustment,orthopedic treatment,etc.This article reviews the clinical application of clear aligners for early malocclusion in children,hoping to provide a new,simple,efficient and safe method for early orthodontic treatment.
