What's Orthodontics: |
Orthodontics
has evolved from limited treatment goals, such as“normal tooth
alignment” to the current three dimensional concept of tooth
and bone position, and good profile and facial esthetics in an addition
to the smile line. |
|
|
In general the
goal of orthodontic treatment is to improve the patient's life by
enhancing dental and jaw function and dentofacial esthetics. |
|
|
After identifying
the patient's problems during the diagnostic process, the orthodontist
must create a treatment plan consisting of a series of logical steps
designed to produce maximal benefit to the patient. |
