I would like to thank you for this lecture
Prof you said at 1:24 in long elastic both arxhes undergoes rotation and no effect on over bite and just occlusal plane stepen
And at 11.43 you said large moment extrude the second molar causing opening the bite ?
Could you help me to understand this?
إسال الله ان يجعلها صدقة جارية عنك

Great lecture for elastics, thank you!

This video was very informative! Thank you so much for this wonderful and free educational content! It is immensely valuable to orthodontic students like myself! I have one question-- at what stage in treatment are the effects on occlusal plane tilt most relevant? I would think that for the arch to move as a unit in this way, it implies a slot-filling stainless steel archwire? Or perhaps 6-6 Powerchain being in place? With flexible NiTi, for example, I would imagine the effects would be more concentrated on the individual teeth attached to the elastic, which is perhaps why intermaxillary elastics are generally not recommended during the leveling/aligning stage. Am I correct in this assumption, Dr. Alhuwaizi? Thank you again for the excellent video!

Gracias doctor. ¿Como coloca los elasticos para la correcion de desviaciones de linea media sin provocar inclinaciones del plano oclusal superior ni inferior?

[mhmduae]

دكتور اذا حاولت اطبق ماتعلمت بدون ما اربط 7 second molar
مركز المقاومة للفك cr راح يكون جهة الناب اذا حطينا heavy gauge wire
تقريبا يعني اذا عملنا long elastic من first upper premolar to the lower 7
راح تمر القوة في الفك العلوي من cr اذا الفك يتحرك الى الخلف و الاسفل bodily mouvement without moment
اما الفك السفلي راح يكون عندنا moment كبير اذا دوران للخلف مع
molar extrusion
و يتقدم الفك السفلي للامام
يعني في حالة classe 2 div 1
Short face
Deep bite
يعوض classe 2 short
posterieur elastics
لكن عدم ربط 7 قد ينتج عليه بعض المشاكل اللي حضرتك تحدثت عليهم في فيديو آخر
