T
o combine aesthetics and function in accordance with treatment
objectives is the foundation of any orthodontic reflection.
Patient requests provide the primary considerations for the
establishment of treatment plan whose major goal is patient physical
and psychic well being going towards the improvement of its quality of life.
One of the special features of the orthodontic treatment of adults is the notion of
"compromise" due to several characteristics of this category of patients: multiple
edentulism, multidisciplinary treatments, biomechanical considerations .....
This treatment should not represent the outlet of a therapeutic failure. It must be
decided as a strategy of intervention during the initial case study with the patient
who needs to be well informed about the different therapeutic possibilities as well as
the advantages and inconveniencies associated
with each choice.
However, the question that arises in similar
cases is until which limit can this compromise
be adopted and what elements determine the
ideal therapeutic objectives vis a vis which the
orthodontist can adhere to such treatment in
order to find the optimum for each patient.
In this lecture, we will try to answer these
questions by means of some case studies.
