title: [Orthodontic treatment in adults].
abstract: The characteristic problems of an orthodontic treatment of the adult must be well known and analyzed with greatest attention by the specialist. It is, first of all, necessary to try to respect and, if possible, to meet the particular psychological requirements which the adult presents. This will help the relation between the orthodontist and the patient for the whole period of the treatment and will allow the orthodontist to make the most of the necessary collaboration that the patient can give. It is, therefore, necessary to consider the physiological limitations imposed by the age of the patient whose growth has come to an end. Only by means of analysis and application of such therapeutic requirements will it be possible to reach the success of our intervention.
