After mandibular advancement, how to stabilize the new mandibular position?
After mandibular advancement, the stability of the new mandibular position can be achieved through both physiological and structural adaptations, as well as the use of the Smartee S17 Active Mandibular Positioning Retainer.
Firstly, restoring the natural interlocking and balance of the occlusion, joints, and mandibular position through mandibular repositioning and occlusal reconstruction provides the physiological foundation for stability.
Secondly, histological stability relies on tissue adaptations. For instance, TMJ (temporomandibular joint) adjustments caused by the new mandibular position and periodontal tissue reconstruction due to occlusal changes (such as leveling the curve of Spee) are key to securing long-term stability.
Lastly, Smartee S17 Active Mandibular Positioning Retainer, acting externally, further ensures the long-term stability of the repositioned mandible after treatment.
?Through these approaches, the newly advanced mandibular position can achieve lasting stability.
