There is probably nothing in the orthodontist's diagnostic repertoire that will precipitate an adrenaline rush faster than a first examination of a mixed dentition patient who has an obvious skeletal problem. Everyone present in the examination room expects the doctor to manage the problem with some gadget...the same way that produced favorable results for the three playmates in the neighborhood who originated the referral. But intellectually, the clinician knows conventional treatment may not be in this individual's best interest and must intuitively develop a definition of "The Limitation of Orthodontic Treatment."
在正畸医生的诊断方法中，可能没有什么比首次检查一个明显存在骨骼问题的混合牙列患者更能迅速引发肾上腺素激增了。检查室里的每个人都期望医生能用某种器械解决问题……就像为介绍来该患者的街区里的三个玩伴治疗时取得良好效果那样。但在理智上，临床医生知道常规治疗可能不符合这个患者的最大利益，必须凭直觉给出“正畸治疗的局限性”的定义。
