The stimulation of the university environment fosters a healthy sense of skepticism as one is engaged in the lifelong pursuit of knowledge. It is this intellectual skepticism which enables one to evaluate the constant flow of information and technical advances which flow from the work of university investigators. The result is that patients benefit predictably as they pursue treatment.

-about Orthodontics Treatment Orthodontic treatment covers a wide range of approaches to addressing the concerns of patients. Fortunately for most people these concerns arise not from a visual expression of pathology, but rather from one level or another in the spectrum of morphologic variation.

Accordingly, there are a variety of different treatment modalities. Decisions about the approach to a practical issue will then be contingent upon a variety of factors: namely, How well does a particular trait or malformation lend itself to being modified? What level of control is required to make a satisfactory modification of a condition? How does a specific treatment modality balance with an individuals concern? To what length will an individual pursue treatment to address his or her concerns?
