[Aims and methods of treatment in orthodontics].
The scope and the forms of treatment in orthodontics. On the occasion of the Symposium of the Society of Orthopaedic Stomatology of the German Democratic Republic at Reinhardsbrunn (Thuringia) from April 8 to 11, 1974, questions concerning the scope and the forms of treatment in orthodontics were dealt with in the framework of the main subject "The Effectiveness of Orthodontic Treatment in Adolescents". The present contribution was the discussion basis on the first day of the meeting. It is possible to substantiate the extent of normal biological, dentometric and cephalometric variations. The form of treatment should be an individual one, respecting the most favourable moment for treatment and well-tried therapeutical methods. Modifiable biological parameters should be adepted to unchangeable morphological and functional conditions. Broad-based, prevention-oriented orthodontics should be adhered to.
