Adjunctive orchestrated orthodontic therapy.
The altruistic goal of any cosmetic dental rehabilitation is the re-establishment of a healthy maintainable aesthetic functional interface from an otherwise damaged dentition. To this end, a multi-disciplinary treatment plan is necessary to fulfill the periodontal, orthodontic, maxillofacial and cosmetic requirements for a healthy, stable dentition that has a favorable long-term prognosis. This comprehensive treatment approach strives for the constituent components of the dentition to have a proper occlusal scheme with properly aligned and positioned teeth prior to prosthetic therapy. This can easily be achieved by the cosmetic dentist in office through the process of adjunctive orchestrated orthodontic therapy, using socially acceptable aesthetic appliances.
