Adult orthodontics part 1: special considerations in treatment

Adult orthodontic demand in the UK has increased significantly in both private and National Health Service sectors, the reason being improvement in the availability of orthodontic services and an increased patient awareness towards orthodontics; in particular the desire for adults to have an aesthetic smile. There is also the role of orthodontics as an adjunct to restorative, periodontal and orthognathic treatment. Clinical Relevance: Successful orthodontic treatment of adults depends on an understanding of the biological, mechanical, psychological and aesthetic needs of adult patients.
