Remarkable improvement is apparent these days in orthodontic treatment and its technology. Nonetheless, putting aside the cosmetic factors, functional improvements based on scientific and biological measurements have not yet been appreciated enough when measuring such treatment outcomes.
Orthodontic treatment objective and it's planning especially in case of functional disorders/symptoms attributable to malocclusion should be a mutually acceptable process between the patient and the orthodontist, rather than an obedient act to fulfill cosmetic requirements. Based on my clinical pre and post-treatment data, ranging from jaw movement, EMG, occlusal force, gravity fluctuation, etc. from the past several decades, the demographic and clinical features of functional disorders typically associated with Class III malocclusion and effective treatment approaches will be shared.
