Abstract

According to the American Association of
Orthodontists, the area of dentistry concerned with
the supervision, guidance, and correction of growing
and mature dentofacial structures, including those
conditions requiring teeth movement associated with
the application of forces or stimulation and diversion of
functional forces in the craniofacial complex formally
defined as orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics.
According to the design, orthodontic aids are divided
into: mobile and fixed, active and passive, mono and
bimaxillary, intra and extra oral. Mobile devices are
not placed on the teeth, but the patient takes them in
and out of the mouth himself, which affects their effect
and the duration of the therapy. Fixed appliances are
fixed on the teeth for a long time and the patient cannot
remove them from the mouth by himself. Active
devices have a built-in active element that moves them
such as a screw, spring or wire arch. Passive devices do
not have built-in active elements, but are controlled by
the power of activated muscles, which is why we call
them functional or myofunctional devices.
