Interdisciplinary approaches to adult orthodontic care
Abstract:
The orthodontic treatment of adult patients is most frequently just one component of a more complex treatment involving several dental disciplines. This report discusses the potential problems related to the establishment of a treatment plan and the necessity for the patient's full acceptance, and understanding of the pros and cons related to different treatment approaches. In addition, the case report underlines the importance of a well-defined treatment goal. We have illustrated the team approach and the treatment principles in this combined perio-, ortho-, and prosthodontic patient.
