Elastodontic therapy in adult patient improving the mucogingival status: a case report
Vol 36, Issue 2S3, 2022
Abstract
Elastodontics is a specific orthodontic treatment that uses removable elastomeric appliances. They arefunctional appliances that produce neuromuscular, orthopedic, and dental effects. Thus, these devices areuseful in the developmental age, when skeletal structures are characterized by important plasticity andadaptation capacity, allowing to remove factors responsible for malocclusions. Elastomeric devices aregenerally well tolerated by patients requiring simple collaboration and management. Neuromuscular anddental effects can perhaps be obtained, with these devices, even in adults. The authors present a case reportof elastodontic myofunctional treatment in an adult case. The patient improved functionally and evenaesthetically, solving the mostly recessions too, with a significant improvement of the aesthetic outcomes.* Corresponding
