    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.
