Ever since the dawn of the specialty, orthodontic practitioners have usually chosen
their therapeutic appliances carefully focused on the perceived functional outcomes
and side effects intrinsic within their design to achieve optimal occlusal and esthetic
results. Moreover, the therapeutic reliability and predictability of fixed labial
orthodontic appliances has evolved to become the standard for assessing the efficacy
of treating malocclusions whenever any other treatment modalities are considered.
However, in recent decades with the rapid acceptance and preference for esthetic,
or ‘minimally visible’, orthodontic appliances by the patient may have inadvertently
locked them into alternative treatment plans that ignore previously tested and accepted
optimal treatment objectives.
