Orthodontic treatment planning depends on determining specific treatment objectives before beginning treatment. Selecting specific treatment objectives aids in the selection of appropriate mechanotherapy for the patient. In adult patients, this is particularly important. With the exception of orthognathic surgery, orthodontic treatment in adults must rely exclusively on tooth movement because no skeletal growth potential exists. Therefore, the orthodontic movements must be achieved with greater precision. Finally, the medical and dental histories of the adult patient may further increase the complexity of treatment. Coordinating orthodontic therapy with periodontists, restorative dentists, and other specialists is often necessary.
正畸治疗计划取决于在开始治疗前确定具体的治疗目标。选择具体的治疗目标有助于为患者选择合适的机械疗法。在成年患者中，这一点尤为重要。除正颌外科手术外，成年患者的正畸治疗必须完全依靠牙齿移动，因为不存在骨骼生长潜力。因此，正畸移动必须更精确地实现。最后，成年患者的医学和牙科病史可能会进一步增加治疗的复杂性。通常需要与牙周病医生、修复牙医和其他专科医生协调正畸治疗。
