Adult orthodontic treatment: Keys for the best esthetic and functional outcomes.

DR. CESARE LUZI & DR. DR. EMESE SZABÒ

More and more adults are referred daily to orthodontic specialists for interdisciplinary care. Inter-disciplinary therapy can improve the quality of the final treatment outcome by the synergy of different disciplines working consecutively with a strict coordination. Orthodontic treatment is always more requested in interdisciplinary care as it can allow to reach higher standards of results thanks to the improvement of the condition of the periodontal tissues and the possibility of using less destructive restorative procedures. By aligning and leveling the arches, repositioning the periodontal tissues, distributing the spaces through tooth movement, the orthodontist enhances the work of the prosthodontist and the implantologist to realize a better rehabilitation, both from a functional and an esthetic perspective. The course will highlight the characteristics of an adult patient and the treatment goals, the potential of orthodontics to make implantology possible and prosthodontics less invasive, and finally the potential to eliminate prosthetic need just by using a comprehensive orthodontic treatment. Furthermore, the treatment of gingival smile is often a requirement of ordinary care and the course will highlight all the orthodontic indications and procedures to treat this condition with successful aesthetic outcome. Finally, class II treatment of the adult patient with the “sagittal first” approach will be discussed in detail and all the protocols of using the Power Bar appliance will be explained with numerous case reports.
