ROLE OF ORTHODONTIC PATHOLOGY IN THE FORMATION OF DYSPHAGIA

Abstract

Orthodontic care for the population can be considered much more broadly than just bite correction. Malocclusion in somфe cases are accompanied by severe conditions such as dysphagia. When assessing the orthodontic status, this group of subjects has a distal jaw ratio, maxillary macrognathia, and deocclusion in the frontal area. These disorders can be either isolated or combined. A decrease in the volume of the upper respiratory tract is determined, which is associated with the distal position of the lower jaw. There are diffi culties in pronouncing sounds. When providing care to such patients, an integrated approach is needed with the defi nition of a phased orthodontic treatment plan with a gradual transition from simple orthodontic devices to more complex ones in their design. A special place in the treatment and rehabilitation of such patients is played by functional correction devices, which simultaneously normalize the work of the muscles of the maxillofacial region and correct the bite. Early diagnosis helps to reduce the severity of pathology in patients starting from childhood. Treatment plans are off ered, taking into account concomitant disorders. The use of orthodontic devices for muscle correction at the fi rst stages allows you to gradually switch to treatment using non-removable equipment.Such a multi-level approach in the appointment of orthodontic devices makes it easier for the patient to adapt to the equipment, gradually complicating the design of the devices. It is not always possible to get the desired result, but there is always success in reducing the severity of the pathology. By correcting disorders, orthodontists, together with other clinicians, qualitatively change the patient's lifestyle and general health.
