ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSTIC METHODS IN THE PROCESS OF ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT

The aim of the study was to improve the efficiency of the final stage of orthodontic treatment. The study included 32 patients. Patients of medical group were divided into two groups of 16 people in everyone. In this case –in each group there was a peer number of men and women. To all patients orthodontic treatment with use of breket-system of an active self-ligation of the equipment of a direct arch, with use at a stage of an adjustment of anthropometric system of quantitative assessment (The ABO Model Grading System) developed by the American Society of Orthodontists (The American Board of Orthodontics) in 1999 was carried out. The first group was carried out treatment with conventional protocol. In the second group was conducted over fixing braces by indirect bonding in the early stages adjustment, after anthropometric measurements ABO methods. Estimates of the efficiency of orthodontic treatment on the ABO system in the late stages of adjustment the second group was significantly lower than in the first (p = 0,002248; p=0,023431, respectively). Thus, the application of the final stage anthropometric system quantify ABO followed over fixing incorrectly positioned brackets by indirect bonding, will provide decreasing the chance of emergence occlusion interference and will achieve accurate results of orthodontic treatment.
