Abstract
Orthodontic movement of a tooth or group of teeth occurs due to the application of the force applied by active components and these acting forces always generate reciprocal forces of the same magnitude but opposite in direction which follows Newton’s third law. Basically, anchoring management aims to keep the force used light and increase anchoring resistance, so that the gear that is expected to move while the teeth that are not expected to move can be held or minimized. During treatment, anchorage loss must be detected immediately, the cause searched, and dealt with as soon as possible so that no more severe errors occur so that the treatment results can be as good as possible. The purpose of this paper is to examine how to manage anchoring problems in orthodontic treatment using removable appliance, especially active removable appliance so that treatment results achieve satisfactory results.
Highlights
A removable orthodontic appliance is defined as an appliance that can be installed and removed by the patient himself
With the development of science and technology in the field of orthodontics, the use of removable appliance is displaced by fixed appliance, but this appliance isstillanoptionforhandlingcertaincases.2,3Kerr[3] reported that 85% of the population treated using removable appliance with truly selected cases showed satisfactory results
Removable appliance can be used as an active tooth movement appliance, for example in interceptive cases in mixed dental patients, space maintainers, functional appliance for growth modification treatments, post-treatment retention appliance using fixed appliances, and clear aligners.[1,2]
Summary
A removable orthodontic appliance is defined as an appliance that can be installed and removed by the patient himself. One problem that is still difficult to overcome in the use of removable appliance is how to control anchoring to avoid anchorage loss.
