Patient-specific Modelling in Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontic treatment may improve mastication, phonation, and facial aesthetics, by ensuring proper alignment of the teeth with beneficial effects on the oral and general health and individual’s comfort, having a positive role in improving the quality of life. In orthodontic treatment, the outcome is caused by the action of orthodontic forces, delivered against teeth ligaments and bones, resulting in teeth movement and modification of bone morphology. Orthodontic treatment also has, in addition to its benefits, associated risks and complications related to the placement of orthodontic devices and applied forces and moments. To optimize orthodontic treatment and predict outcomes of therapies, patient-specific models should be developed. According to patient’s particularities, treatments must be individualized. The goal of this paper was to develop a computational model of human tissues in orthodontic treatment which is individualized to patient-specific data. The developed patient-specific model gives an individual approach to treatment and can optimize therapy in a way to foresee all possible outcomes of a treatment and make treatment faster and more efficient.
