Treatment Goal

The main causes for gum disease (gum & bone) are:

  • Dentobacterial plaque.
  • Load forces over roots

The germs which caused plaque can be removed with a correct brushing technique and floss. However the load forces charged over support structures (bone & teeth roots) can be well or inadequately absorb by bone, to depend of root tilt, therefore vertical forces are transmitted directly to maxilla and this kind of force stimulate bone grown,-vertical forces are good- in the other hand, horizontal load forces charged over lateral bone around roots and this is a cause for bone loss horizontal forces are bad.

An Orthodontic basic goal is to place teeth in the right position to charge chew forces vertical, not horizontal way.
