title: [Esthetics in multiband orthodontics].
abstract: It is a known fact that many patients who need major orthodontic treatment, simply refuse treatment for reasons related to the esthetics of fixed appliances. These refusals, which occur more often among adults, usually jeopardize the patient's entire treatment plan, and in the long run will endanger the patient's oral health. This article reviews the different alternatives which are available, in order to resolve this major inconvenience which some people tend to have when they need fixed orthodontic appliances (braces). In each case, their advantages and inconveniences, and their indications and contra-indications are described.
