Accelerating Orthodontic Treatment: A Continuous Challenge
Journal Title: Dentistry – Open Journal - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Every clinician will always aim for providing effective treatment, this can be accomplished by delivering the planned treatment goals over the shortest time possible, with minimal biological side effects and high levels of patient satisfaction. Unlike most of the dental specialities, orthodontic treatment tends to take relatively longer duration; this can range from as short as a several months to as long as several years (representative average 24 months).1 This can be explained by the conservative nature of orthodontic treatment that mainly depends on the dento-alveolar response to gentle orthodontic forces.
