Study Notes
Socio-behavioral Factors in Orthodontic Patients
- Socio-behavioral factors, such as a patient's attitude, motivation, and understanding of treatment benefits, significantly impact treatment compliance.
Clinical Examination
- The purpose of the clinical examination is to identify pathological and developmental problems and determine required diagnostic records.
- The lower third of the face can be divided into thirds, with the upper lip in the upper third and the lower lip in the lower two-thirds.
Treatment Duration
- The age of the patient influences the estimated treatment duration, with younger patients potentially requiring longer treatment times.
- Younger patients' jaws and teeth are still developing, contributing to longer treatment times.
- Older patients with fully developed jaws may require shorter treatment times.
- Dental pathology significantly influences the treatment plan, and additional radiographs and special tests (such as vitality tests) may be required.
