ELASTODONTIC THERAPY

 
 
 
 
Elastodontic therapy uses gentle elastic forces, in both young and adult patients, promoting oral and skeletal health by eliminating functional issues and improving tooth alignment.  
 
This therapy is crucial in modern dentistry, especially in early intervention orthodontics, targeting the most flexible stages of skeletal and dental development to prevent and treat dental misalignments. ​ 
 
Overall, Elastodontic Therapy represents a significant advancement in preventive orthodontics, resolving approximately 90% of orthodontic problems, and achieving ideal occlusions with improved aesthetics and functionality through a minimally invasive technique.

INDICATIONS

These appliances do not intend to replace the classic orthodontic therapies, but they aim to integrate the treatment for a more complete orthodontics, not limited to procuring straight teeth but also dealing with all the structures that form the stomatognatic system.
 
Making it possible to intervene with other appliances for the correct teeth alignment on skeletal harmonized structures. ​
 
The appliance is indicated to improve neurovegetative oro-pharyngeal functions, sucking- swallowing, chewing, phonation, and breathing to improve the nose ventilatory function with a return to the nose-oro-laringo-pharyngeal normal function. The appliance is also recommended for patients with bruxism and nocturnal snoring.

INTEGRAL & BASIC OCCLUSAL FLOORS


 
The AMCOP INTEGRAL Bio-Activator is a device primarily designed for orthopedic purposes, acting as a stabilizer for oral balance. It is equipped with all the necessary elements to support the proper function of the entire Dentocraniofacial system. This device is indicated for an orthopedic-osteopathic action for the therapy of occlusal curve alterations, such as anterior/lateral deep bites, and for the correct dental arches balance. It is also suitable for addressing muscle-tension issues, swallowing, breathing, snoring, and bruxism.

 

 

 
The AMCOP BASIC Bio-Activator is an arch harmonizing device specifically recommended for deep bites (deep-bite). It is indicated for the increase of vertical dimension and the remodeling of alveolar ridges, as it is equipped with a thickened occlusal plane in the anterior area.

MATERIAL

The appliance is made from a blend of polymer and elastomer. The material is highly elastic, soft, and non-deformable. Additionally, it is thermoactive and adaptable to different types of arches. Any potential interference caused by the flange can be modified using heat-activated instruments. The appliance can also be expanded by immersing it in hot water at approximately 70°C for thirty seconds. To set the new shape, simply immerse it in cold water. Retouching or shortening can easily be done with rubber and a brush, and a flame gun can be used to add gloss. The materials are available in two different Shore hardness grades: 51 and 60. The choice of hardness depends on the specific operational needs of the clinical case.

MALOCCLUSION & POSTURE

Occlusion is a dynamic and continuous evolutionary process shaped by the neuro-vegetative mouth functions.
 
Scientific studies have proved that malocclusion is the cause of dysfunctional problems. The mouth and head position are a part of the general postural attitude; hence, every head misalignment provokes disharmonies and tensions in the neck muscles.
 
These tensions are reflected in the entire body to which the head is connected. For this reason, recovering a correct position of the cephalic bone and the skull-facial dysmorphia will also allow the restoration of the first cervical vertebras for a constant postural control.

BIO-ACTIVATION

The AMCOP Bio-Activator is an elastodontic device of great therapeutic validity made entirely of a functional nature elastic and thermoactivable material, specifically orthopedic of the dento-craniofacial system. ​
 
It reconditions the neuro-muscular system and aligns the teeth in a correct relationship with the bone bases and, therefore, with the skull, the temporomandibular joints (TMJ), the cervical spine, and, more specifically, with the Cranio-Sacral System (posture). The treatment with AMCOP Bio Activator can be considered an extraordinary Ortho-Cranio-Facial Bio-Orthopedics. ​
 
The different AMCOP devices have the purpose of favoring the correct dental eruption and the harmonious development of the dental arches towards an ideal shape with correct transverse, vertical, sagittal, and torsional occlusal relationships, rehabilitating the various occlusal imbalances. ​
 
The action of the activator is also specific for the recovery of the vital autonomic or pharyngeal functions of the mouth: "sucking-swallowing, breathing, chewing and phonation".
