This study was performed to evaluate the initial reaction of maxillofacial complex to the Class II intermaxillary and the anterior vertical elastic forces on the six types of archwires including multiloop edgewise arch wires(MEAW). A human dry skull was used for this purpose and this investigation was done by holographic interferometry. Based on such investigation, the fringe pattern and the number of fringes of each condition were compared and analyzed. The findings of this study were as follows: 1. As the orthodontic forces increased, the amount of displacement increased. 2. As the orthodontic forces were applied, the fringes were shown not only in the teeth and the maxilla but also in the adjacent bones, i.e., temporal bone, zygomatic bone, nasal bone, frontal bone and sphenoid bone. And the direction of fringe pattern and the number of fringes were different from each other by the sutures. 3. As the long Class II elastic forces were applied, the backward-downward displacements of the anterior teeth and the maxilla were shown, and backward displacement of the former were grater than those of the latter. And backward displacements were greater by the long Class II elastic forces than by the short Class II elastic forces. 4. As the anterior vertical elastic forces were applied, downward displacements of the anterior teeth and the maxilla were shown, and the downward displacements of the former were greater than those of the latter relatively. 5. The downward displacements of the anterior area to the anterior vertical elastic forces of the MEAW were greater than those of other archwires. In addition, the more tip-back bend was applied, the more displacement was seen. 6. As the Class II intermaxillary forces and the enough anterior vertical elastic forces were applied on the MEAW with tip-back bend, there was an intrusive effect of the posterior teeth.

The purpose of this report is to review vertical dysplasia such as openbite or deep bite in skeletal Class III malocclusion and their treatment modality and to present two cases treated with MEAW. The results obtained were as follows A. Open bite case 1. The treatment time was 3 year 8 months. 2. Upper and lower incisors showed extrusion and especially lower anterior alveolar process showed remodelling. 3. The mesially inclined upper and lower molars were uprighted and especially lower first molars showed extrusion that means remodelling of alveolar bone. 4. Normal overbite and overjet were established. 5. Mandible showed slight clockwise rotation. 6. Maxilla showed slight downward bending of ANS part. 7. Upper lip showed downward drop and lower lip showed retraction and touch between upper and lower lip was established. 8. Tongue posture of post-treatment was more raised than pretreatment. B. Deep bite case 1. The treatment time was 1 year 8 months. 2. Upper incisors showed intrusion and labioversion and lower incisors showed slight intrusion and linguoversion. 3. The lower molars showed distal uprighting and intrusion and upper molars showed mesial movement and extrusion. 4. Normal overbite and overjet were established. 5. Maxilla did not show downward movement. 6. Mandible showed slight clockwise rotation. 7. Lower lip showed retraction and downward drop and upper lip showed downward drop.

교정적으로 치료할 수는 있지만 많은 노력을 필요로 하는 부정교합들이 존재한다. 특히, 전방 개교는 치료하기 어렵고, 많은 경우 외과적 수술을 동반하여야 한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해, 여러 치료기전에 대한 연구가 소개되었다. 제안된 치료기전들은 직접, 간접적으로 근신경계와 형태학적인 특징과 원인적 혹은 환경적 요소에 기초를 둔다. 성장 변이에 따라 안모의 수직 관계는 증가하나, 적절한 치아치조 보상기전으로 정상교합 관계가 유지된다. 그러나, 부적절하거나, 부정적인 치아치조 보상기전이 일어나는 경우 개교가 발생할 수 있다. 골격 부조화가 너무 심해 교정치료만으로 해결되기 어렵다면, 악구강계의 기능과 심미를 증진시키기 위하여 수술이 행해져야만 한다. 그러나, 많은 경우 적절한 진단과 치료계획으로 주어진 골격패턴에 알맞게 교정 치료를 변형시키면, 만족스런 결과를 얻을 수 있다. Multiloop Edgewise Arcgwire(MEAW) 기법은 주로 치아치조 영역에서 치료 변화가 일어나며, 자연적인 치아치조 보상기전과 상당한 유사성을 보인다. 다시 말해서 MEAW기법은 교정의가 자연적인 치아치조 보상을 교정적으로 유도한다고 할 수 있다. 골격 패턴에 알맞은 교정적인 치아치조 보상으로 개교를 치료했다고 해도, 자연적인 치아치조 보상을 억재해왔던 원인요소가 남아 있다면, 재발이 일어난다. 원인요소는 초진시 진단되고 치료와 보정시기에도 고려되어야한다.

This study was aimed to evaluate the changes in condylar position when severe anterior open bite patients were treated with MEAW. The subjects consisted of 11 patients(21 TMJs) who visited the departement of orthodontics in SNUH, having severe anterior open bite as a chief complain. They were supposed to wear the up and down elastics and MEAW after finishing the leveling. The condylar position was evaluated with individualized corrected tomography in centric occlusion taken before and after treatment. The results were as follows; 1. In the change of condylar position after treatment, there were no statistically significant differences in right and left TMJs. 2. In the change of condylar position after treatment, there were no statistically significant differences in each malocclusion groups. 3. There were no statistically significant differences in percent dispacement of condyle between before and after treatment 4. There were no statistically significant differences in the amount of change in condylar change.

Multiloop Edgewise Archwire(MEAW) is effective in relief the Curve of Spee in mandibular arch but up Sl down orthodontic elastics must be used with it. The purpose of this study was to analyse the effect of orthodontic elastics, like as up & down elastics, Class II elastics, and Class III elastics, and the effect of L loop in Multioop Edgewise Archwire. 1. Intrusive force of MEAW in anterior teeth was reduced and uprighting force in premolars was increased by up & down elastics. 2. Uprighting force was significintly increased with Class III elastics in multiple L loop arch wire. 3. The force of Class II elastics made molars tip mesially and Curve of Spee deep.

The purpose of this report is to present the successful improvement of occlusal relationship and facial esthetics in class II division 1 malocclusion with severe labioversion of upper anterior teeth and severe overjet, and in class II malocclusion with infraversion of bilateral maxillary canines by MEAW mechanics, which enables us to get effective distal on mass movement of maxillary dentition, with upper second molar extraction. After treatment, there were natural contact points at canine and premolar regions, normal occlusal relation-ship and treatment results, satisfied the gnathologic concept, in this 2 cases. Compared with the routine treatment with premolar extraction, the treatment time and patients' discomfort were reduced. And the MEAW mechanics, which enables us to get effective distal on mass movement of maxillary dentition, resulted in reduction of the treatment time and getting the good treatment results. Consequently, the majot concerns in orthodontic treatment are appropriate diagnosis and treatment plan, so, the application of second molar extraction with appropriate case analysis and diagnosis is very helpful to orthodontic treatment.

치열의 치군 후방이동을 유발하는 교정력에 의해 발생되는 개개 치아의 초기 변위와 응력분포를 평가하고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 유한요소법을 이용하여 상악 치아와 치근막, 그리고 치조골의 해부학적 형태와 생체적 특성을 컴퓨터로 재현하고 모형화된 브라켓을 부착한 3 차원 유한요소 모델을 형성하였다. 치열의 치군 후방이동에 사용되는 구외력과 II급 악간고무, ideal arch wire와 MEAW(Multiloop Edgewise Arch Wire), 그리고 호선에 부여된 tip back bend 에 의해 야기되는 치아 변위를 비교, 분석하였다 그리고 이러한 치료방법을 상악 제 2 대구치를 발거한 경우와 발거하지 않은 경우에 각각 적용하여 상악 제 2대구치 존재유무에 따른 치아이동 양상의 변화를 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 전치부 헤드기어에 의해 발생되는 치아변위는 후방 치체변위와 후방 경사변위, 그리고 수직변위 모두 치열 전방부에 집중되어 있었다. 2. Ideal arch wire에 II급 악간고무를 적용한 경우, 치아변위가 치열 전방부에 집중되었으나 ideal arch wire에 tip back bend를 부여하면 악간고무에 의한 견인력이 후방으로 전달되었다. 부여하는 tip back bend의 양이 증가할수록 전치부의 후방 치체변위와 설측 경사변위는 감소하였고 구치부의 후방 치체변위와 경사변위는 증가하였으며 II급 악간고무에 의한 전치부 정출이 감소하였다. 3. MEAW와 II급 악간고무를 적용한 결과, 치아변위 경향은 ideal arch wire와 II급 악간고무를 사용한 경우와 유사하였으나 작은 양의 치아변위와 함께 치열내 개개치아의 비교적 균등한 이동양상을 보였다. 4. 상악 제 2 대구치가 존재하는 유한요소 모델에 상악 제 1 대구치까지만 교정장치를 장착하고 후방이동을 시도한 결과 상악 제 1 대구치 치아이동이 감소하는 경향을 보였다.
