The increased demand for orthodontic treatment in the developed countries has led to a recent proliferation of "motel courses" that are specifically designed for general practitioners. Most of the techniques presented are only those that have long been available for selection by discerning orthodontists. However, when they are applied exclusively and indiscriminately by inexperienced clinicians, this may result in either prolonged, unnecessary treatment or failure through instability. Therefore some of the claims that are made will be examined and discussed with a review of the literature.
发达国家对正畸治疗需求的增加，导致最近专门为全科医生设计的“汽车旅馆课程”大量涌现。所介绍的大多数技术，其实是那些有眼光的正畸医生长期以来就可以选择使用的技术。然而，当经验不足的临床医生不加区分地一味应用这些技术时，可能会导致治疗时间延长、不必要，或者因稳定性问题而失败。因此，本文将结合文献综述，对其中的一些说法进行审视和讨论。
