ORTHODONTICS II

L ANALYSIS

JOHN ZENDRICK DE GUZMAN

 MODEL ANALYSIS
Model analysis is the study of maxillary and
mandibular arches in all three planes of space
(sagittal, vertical, transverse planes) using study
models and radiographs which is a valuable tool
in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning.
can analyze the arch form, arch symmetry,
alignment of the teeth, palate shape, tooth size,
tooth shape, rotations of teeth and other
information.
 ARCH PERIMETER ANALYSIS
This analysis helps to find the difference between
the basal bone and the tooth material.
The soft wire is contoured, from the mesio-buccal
line angle of molar and pass along the contacts of
the premolar and through the incisive papilla on
an imaginary repositioned arch.
done on the maxillary arch and two measurements
are required (space available and space required)
 ARCH PERIMETER ANALYSIS:
PROCEDURE
1. CALCULATION OF SPACE AVAILABLE
Pass the brass wire from the
mesiobuccal line angle of maxillary
right first molar along the buccal
cusps and incisal edges of the
anterior teeth to the left quadrant
until the mesiobuccal line angle of
the left maxillary first molar.
 ARCH PERIMETER ANALYSIS:
PROCEDURE
1. CALCULATION OF SPACE AVAILABLE
In case of retroclined incisors, pass the In case of proclined incisors, pass the brass
brass wire labial to them like a smooth wire in the cingulum region
curve
 ARCH PERIMETER ANALYSIS:
PROCEDURE
2. CALCULATION OF SPACE REQUIRED:
Measure the mesiodistal
dimension of all the teeth mesial to
the first molar (54321) (12345)
 ARCH PERIMETER ANALYSIS:
INTERPRETATION
The difference between the space
required and space available gives ARCH LENGTH
INFERENCE
the arch discrepancy or excess. DISCREPANCY
If the tooth material is more than Proximal stripping can be carried out to
0 to 2.5 mm reduce the
the arch length, the space available minimal tooth material excess
for alignment is insufficient
resulting in crowding. 2.5 to 5 mm Extraction of second premolar is indicated

If the tooth material is less than

Extraction of first premolar is usually
the arch length, then there can be Greater than 5 mm
