Orthodontics. Part 12: Combined orthodontic treatment.
Dentistry is becoming more sophisticated and capable of providing much higher treatment standards than ever before. Treatments previously considered impossible can now be achieved as a direct consequence of these advances. However, this increased complexity of treatment also means that the different branches of dentistry have, as a necessity, become more and more specialised. It is important that the specialities collaborate in a systematic focused way to ensure the optimal treatment outcome with the minimum burden of care for the patient.
