[The relationship between the length of orthodontic treatment and patient compliance].
Based on the results of the psychological tests and their clinical experience, the authors conclude as follows: 1. At the beginning of the orthodontic treatment the fear of the unknown is dominating, but later on the aesthetic desires gain more importance than the first reaction. 2. The compliance and the length of the orthodontic treatment show an indirect proportional relationship. The compliance is stronger in case of a shorter and more successful orthodontic treatment.
