Do teeth compensate for skeletal malocclusion?
yes
what is the " compensation"?
movements teeth as result of adjustments that need to be made for skeletal abnormality that
underlie them
what is the Compensation for Class II?
teeth cannot incise if they are upright, tongue will push lower incisors forward & lip on upper will
push upper incisor back --- thus we see dental compensations skeletal malocclusion
Compensation for class III?
teeth will move back in lower arch & incline forward in upper to max that they can [ within
biological limits]

psuedo class III: lower incisors lean forward

what is " decompensation"?
undoing the compensation

Ex. Class III: put teeth upright on basal bone [ Tweed's upright IMPA] , should be 90 degrees,
upright on mandibular plane [ need to decompensate if they are compensated]
Decompensation for Class II>
decompensate by taking upper incisors forward & taking lower back - gives leeway to surgeon
to make correction
What is camouflage?
- hide malocclusion
-NOT correcting skeletal problem or altering skeletal patter
-can be acceptable form treatment depending severity proble,

-camouflaging skeletal issues by dental changes only

Class III: take lower incisors back & upper incisor forward
when is arch form decided?
during eruptions & development by genetics

[ size, space , etc. ] & some based on muscle forces

what are some things " outside of arch " that influences arch form?
buccinator mechanism [ buccinator m., orbicularis oris, superior constrictor, envelopes dentition
from outside
what are " inside things" that affects arch form?
tongue, tongue position from inside [ high, low, forward, back], will dictate how arch form will
develop
