ORTHOGNATOPOSTURODONTICS
The multifunctional and multidisciplinary orthopedic treatment of the AMCOP Bio Activator
The AMCOP Bio Activators, Made in Italy products designed and manufactured in Bari, are revolutionary neuro-functional sensorial rehabilitative therapeutic tools with broad views, capable of procuring reparative processes that go beyond simple orthodontic treatments that have the limited purpose only to mechanically change the shape of the mouth.
AMCOP Bio Activator (Cranio-Occlusion-Postural Multifunctional Harmonizers) are thermo-activated elastic orthodontic devices of a functional, orthopedic-skeletal, articular (TMJ), neuro-muscular-occlusal and postural nature. These profoundly innovative devices fit perfectly into the new dentistry, characterized by the search for techniques that are as least invasive as possible as well as atraumatic for full compliance with all the structures that make up the stomatognathic system and for an important simplification of the treatments to be submitted to the patient.
It is a therapy aimed at a reorganization of the buccal movement and of the body according to the dysmorphosis of the mouth and the consequent deformations of the body and which takes into account the global man, through everything that will take place in movement at a neurological level.
Therapy must therefore be reserved for dento-maxillofacial orthopedics with regard to the correct development of the orality and psychomotor skills of the young patient. We can talk about Bio-Orthognathic posturodontics, which is fundamental for an early, interceptive and preventive treatment in small patients, for which is required a minimal partecipation; moreover, in that cases, there is a remarkable plasticity and ability to adapt to specific stresses caused by elasticity of the device. The aim is to remove the causal factors responsible for the different types of malocclusion and transform most cases into ideal occlusions in both form and function. Treatment in adults is also possible, for whom the therapy becomes rehabilitation and true healing despite the advanced age which can lead to mistakenly thinking that it is too difficult and, at times, useless to intervene. In all these cases, treatment with AMCOP Bio Activators allows to resolve malocclusions in a natural and extremely simple way, rebalancing and restoring all those structures of the stomatognathic system that can contribute to causing non-physiological occlusion.
It is a remarkably effective method, as the device performs a gentle and continuous action on the teeth, favoring their movement by exploiting the great elasticity of the used material. With the elastic AMCOP Bio Activators it is therefore possible to create a real elastodontic rehabilitation therapy which, if proposed to a patient at a young age, allows to exploit and correctly direct the natural growth forces of the skeletal-neuro-muscular system for the resolution of the malocclusion. It is possible to offer this type of treatment already to 3-year-old patients, thus intercepting a category that is generally not treated at the orthodontic and dental level; in the child, prevention becomes the first form of rehabilitation. The difference between elastodontic rehabilitation therapy and classic therapies consists both in its being absolutely non-constricting and in not requiring an important collaboration from the little patient as regards the reduced times of use of the device.
The treatment with the AMCOP Elastic Bio Activator is able to provide a multidimensional organizing action of the dental hole apparatus which determines the occlusal release on an antero-posterior plane, vertically, transversely and horizontally. This type of multidimensional action expresses a type of treatment in the total sense of the mouth.
The elastic AMCOP Bio Activators constitute the synthesis of all existing functional activators and are suitable for a functional and personalized rehabilitation of the patient. They provide a more systemic and correct view of the treatment.
TREATMENT WITH THE AMCOP BIO ACTIVATOR IS SURPRISINGLY SIMPLE, NATURAL AND ABSOLUTELY NON-INVASIVE AND HAS THE ABILITY TO INVOLVE AND CORRECT THE DEFICITARY FUNCTIONS OF THE WHOLE STOMATOGNATIC SYSTEM: THE TEETH, THE ALVEOLUS, THE SWALLOWING MUSCLES, LIPS, TONGUE, SOFT TISSUES, SALIVARY GLANDS, MANDIBULAR AND MAXILLARY BONES, INNERVATION AND VASCULARIZATION AND, THEREFORE, ALL THE DENTAL-CRANIAL-FACIAL AND CERVIC-POSTURAL SYSTEM.
The device is also indicated to improve the neurovegetative functions of the mouth, swallowing, chewing, speaking and breathing to improve the nasoloventilatory function with a return to normal function of the nasal-oral-laryngeal-pharyngeal district.
It can also be used for bruxism and night snoring.
The therapy is based on the functional rebalancing of the bucco-dental apparatus, in association with myofunctional exercises, while the activator must have the role of accelerating the tissue morphological response by increasing the frequency and intensity of the incentives obtained with the nibbling exercises.
The goal is to achieve an optimal occlusion-articular and postural balance.
The AMCOP Bio Activators are therefore indicated for functional orthopedic orthodontics, but also suitable for use by operators (dentists) who practice the dentosophy of Dr. Michel Montaud
Advantages of the activator
- It is a method without bio-physiological danger, it never causes tooth decay even when oral hygiene is poor
- It is a prophylactic method of neuro-muscular dysmorphosis
- No root resorption is evident
- It is a vertical dimension adjuster in cases of over-occlusion
- With its elastic action it never causes injury to the periodontium
WARNINGS AND CONTRAINDICATIONS
- The AMCOP Bio Activator must be prescribed by the dentist
- It is advisable to strictly follow all its indications
- While using the device you should not feel symptoms such as: STRONG tension, contraction, pain in the teeth, mouth, nape, neck, back and in any case you must not neglect to always monitor the patient with the utmost attention
- Avoid the use of the Bio-Activator in case of advanced periodontal pathologies and therefore in the presence of excessive tooth mobility.
