SPACE ANALYSIS
Lecture outline:
1. Aims of space analysis
2. Features of malocclusion to be considered in space analysis
3. Total space requirement
4. Determining anchorage requirements
5. How space will be created?
˗ Example:
o Measure the mesiodistal width of crowded teeth
9mm + 10mm + 7mm = 25mm
o Measure the space available
11mm + 2mm = 13mm
o Total arch crowding
26mm -13mm = 13mm
v. Arch expansion
˗ Upper arch expansion is undertaken for crossbite correction
˗ Useful to provide space for relief of crowding and overjet reduction
˗ Every 1mm expansion- 0.5mm space within the arch
