title: Orthodontics. Part 4: Treatment planning.
abstract: The treatment plan is an integral part of orthodontic management. It should be divided into both treatment aims (what do you want to do?) and plan (how are you going to do it?). The treatment aims will include, for example overjet reduction. The plan will consider how to create space in order to accomplish this as well as the appliance system that will be used.
