Appliance selection. Treatment objectives and esthetic concerns.

The adaptability of modern orthodontic appliances to meet the esthetic needs of the adult patient while satisfying the treatment goals agreed upon has been shown. Some of the treatments cited could be accomplished by the general practitioner, while other modalities should be handled by the orthodontist. The outstanding advances in orthognathic surgical technique provide the patient with additional options for orthodontic corrections of malocclusions while reducing the time needed to wear braces. Proper planning and interaction among the dental disciplines can greatly enhance a patient's final outcome. It behooves all clinicians to look at all the options available in treating the adult so these patients can benefit most from our services.
