ORTHO CALCULATOR was created in response to my frustration with the amount of eyeballing it ๐Ÿ‘€ we do in orthodontics.

We have all heard the saying โ€œorthodontics is a science and an artโ€

I like to think of orthodontics as mostly science ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ”ฌ with a touch of art in the finishing stages ๐ŸŽจ. Better yet, I like to think of orthodontics as mathematics of the mouth ๐Ÿฆทโž—.

The goal is of ortho calculator is not to teach you new things

Originally, I created these calculators for myself ๐Ÿค“. I felt I was juggling too many variables in my head ๐Ÿคฏ while I was treatment planning my cases and wanted to find a better way to organize my thoughts ๐Ÿ’ก. As these calculators evolved, I began to consider that others may also benefit from the use of my calculatorsโ€”especially those early in their orthodontic careers ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€โš•๏ธ.

My calculators are an amalgamation and reworking of well-known orthodontic concepts ๐Ÿ“š. There are many resources already available for space analysis, expansion requirements, and determining extraction patterns ๐Ÿ”โœ‚๏ธ. However, my calculators allow you to do the math in a dynamic and user-friendly fashion where you can continue to run the numbers ๐Ÿงฎ until everything balances out โš–๏ธ in a way that aligns with your personal treatment philosophy ๐Ÿง .

That being said, I hope you will come to view this website as a useful tool ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ that boosts your confidence ๐Ÿ’ช when treatment planning your cases, and that you will find comfort in knowing that the math behind your treatment plan checks out โœ….

The calculators can all be used independently or together in sequence. I recommend the following order:

1. Expansion Calculator: determine if transverse coordination is necessary and calculate the amount of space that can be gained by expansion

2. Space Calculator: determine space requirements in each arch based on planned incisor position, then explore possible ways to create space and resolve tooth size arch length discrepancies (TSALD)

3. Extraction Calculator: determine the ideal extraction pattern to resolve a TSALD and/or optimize A-P coordination of the arches

Thank you for checking out ortho calculator ๐Ÿ˜€

Iโ€™d like to thank you for visiting this website and trying out the calculators. Iโ€™m always open to feedback and constructive criticism if you have suggestions as to how this site can be improved.

Lastly, thank you to all of my instructors at the University of Toronto who have contributed to my learning. A special thanks to Dr. Vendittelli for teaching me the math of orthodontics, and to Dr. Mair for proving to me that orthodontics is a science.
