title: Anterior guidance--movement and stability.
abstract: Instability of our orthodontic treatment is not uncommon, in particular in the anterior teeth. Given that the mandible is constantly in movement and that the lower and upper teeth regularly meet head-on during normal functioning, one might ask: are the static and normative end of treatment objectives we generally target sufficient to ensure treatment stability?
