title: Treatment objectives and planning in compromised adult cases.
abstract: The compromised adult orthodontic patient requires a coordinated, multidisciplinary approach to treatment to achieve the ideal resolution of the existing dental problems. Careful analysis of complete orthodontic records will define the scope of the problem and suggest treatment alternatives. Case presentations are used to demonstrate the principles of diagnosis and treatment planning.
