Orthodontic finishing is probably the most difficult stage of treatment. It has been
advocated that with pre-adjusted appliances a good clinical outcomes is reached
when proper bracket placement is achieved and when the “average” information carried
by the selected appliances allows for good tooth position.
Guidelines on how to reach a good finishing have been published, and clinical protocols
have been suggested to help the orthodontist during the final stage of treatment.
This 1-day course will describe:
1. The occlusal and esthetic factors to be evaluated during finishing;
2. How the Straight Wire treatment philosophy helps the orthodontist during the finishing
stage;
3. The clinical strategy on how to reach a satisfactory functional and esthetic orthodontic
outcome both in conventional and interdisciplinary cases.
