title: [The potentials and limits of orthodontic treatment for adults].
abstract: Progress in orthognathic surgery as well as the special methods now available for proper setting of osteotomic segments, diagnostic aids and therapeutic possibilities of orthodontics have considerably strengthened the case today for giving adults a combined treatment. The treatment provides patients with the requisite sense of functional and aesthetic rehabilitation. Follow-up studies confirm the success of treatment combining therapy and surgery.
