General Orthodontics Mnemonics
- M-D width of permanent maxillary and mandibular teeth
- Primate Spaces are Most Noticeable between Primary Maxillary Lateral Incisors and Canines, Mandibular Canines and First Molars.
- Ectopic Eruption
Pubertal Growth Spurt and Hand-Wrist Radiograph
- Hand-Wrist Radiograph is Used to Predict the Time of Pubertal Growth Spurt
- Ulnar Sesamoid or Hamate Bones are Landmarks Used to Predict the Time of Pubertal Growth Spurt
Malocclusion
- Mnemonic: Class 2 Division 1 vs. Division 2 (+Types A, B, & C)
- In Class I Malocclusion: Space Deficiency of more than 4mm indicates extraction
- Malocclusion is more common in heterogenous populations, less common in homogenous populations
- Posterior Crossbites and Mild Anterior Crossbites Should Be Corrected in the First Stage of Treatment, while Sever Anterior Crossbites are Usually Not Corrected Until The Second Stage of Treatment.
