ABSTRACT

The aim of this case presentation is to outline some of the advantages that an adjunct orth- odontic treatment can offer in a comprehensive oral rehabilitation of an adult patient. Adjunc- tive orthodontic treatment is usually limited to a dental arch or to a group of teeth within an arch. The purpose of dental movements in this case will be to position the teeth in a way that makes the restoration or replacement of damaged or missing teeth as easy as possible and with minimal dental tissue sacrifice. In addition, the improved position of the teeth will create a healthier periodontal environment that is easier to maintain over time.
