Stability in Orthodontics and their Relation with Myofunctional Orthodontics and Vitamin C
Stability is the ability to remain unchanged over time, the occlusion of the teeth being the most important factor in determining said stability. Most importantly after a treatment of Orthodontics is the occlusal stability that has been achieved with treatment, but this stability may become unbalanced by changes due to growth of the patient, or by maturation and aging of the dentition. To achieve and maintain this over time, the third phase of Orthodontics or completion is key. Since without it there is a natural tendency for the teeth to return to their initial position. To avoid this recurrence after achieving the objectives of aesthetic and occlusal stability achieved with the treatment, it is advisable to place retentions, fixed or removable depending on the type of malocclusion, to keep the teeth in their new position until after the reorganization that occurs in the periodontal structures. The same time, there are other factors to consider to minimize the risks of recurrence that can be introduced after an Orthodontic Treatment to avoid the patient having to undergo a new treatment.
