3 What is your/your patient s concept of acceptable treatment goals? F unction (Optimal) R2 eliable/realistic E2 sthetic/economic S2 tability/satisfaction H ealth--dental/physical/mental Who determines which goal is prioritized? Examples 1. Is function more important than facial esthetics? i. e. canine rise vs. flattened upper lip and accelerated facial aging? 2. Is total cost of treatment a consideration eg. missing laterals space opening or closure? 3. Surgical risks, costs, coverage and borderline surgical cases? 4. Is it acceptable to push boundaries of stability to achieve a more esthetic outcome? For adult orthodontic patients, realistic treatment objectives.. Template guided diagnosis and treatment planning Chapter are determined through a thorough diagnostic process and thoughtful conversation; 2. most important objectives are the primary treatment goals of the patient; 3. are sensitive to the age of the patient and realizes that ideal goals that are possible may not be desirable; 4. more that 75% of the time require interdisciplinary teamwork to achieve reliable outcomes. 16 Goals of presentation Establishing realistic treatment objectives for adult patients I.

Check List: Will you 4. Have mission statement reflected in the receptionist s skills? Is the practice mission part of shared vision of doctors and staff? 5. Follow-up with welcome letter, brochure, etc.? Is Concept: Presentation of plan with options and empathy is critical. Try to provide a meaningful discretionary experience. Check List: Will you (Keep good practice stats.) 9. Review records? 10. Illustrate possible outcomes? 11. Review consent form? 12. Tx. Plan report to DDS & patient? your welcome genuine and shared by all of the staff? Surgical Orthodontic Treatment Adult Orthodontic Treatment (Ages 20 75) Why is jaw surgery part of some orthodontic treatment plans? The facial form is part of a complex genetic interaction of teeth and bones. In about 15-20% of the adult patients who seek orthodontic correction, the jaw structure needs to be corrected. Therefore, the combined treatment of orthodontics and orthognathic surgery is required to achieve an ideal bite. Yes, the jaw structure of adults is no longer growing which limits correction of certain types of bite problems. Additionally, adults are more at risk for periodontal problems and adults have more missing and damaged teeth. However, adult orthodontic patients cooperate better than their adolescent counter-parts and as a result their time in orthodontic treatment is frequently shorter. After Is there anything special about adult orthodontic treatment? Lower Jaw Excess Case #5: Skel Class III, spacing, impacted #11, perio, + attitude Missing Posterior Teeth Missing posterior teeth: Afterexcess with upper jaw Lower jaw deficiency: In this jaw imbalance, the lower jaw appears too large to match the upper There is frequently an underbite and incisor trauma There is frequently upper jaw width deficiency and crowding Braces usually precede the jaw surgery by 12 to 18 months to prepare tooth position to match the planned surgical correction of the jaw relationship (see milestones) Loss of molars and congentially absent posterior teeth contribute to jaw over closure Jaw over closure is also called bite collapse and can accelerate progressive tooth loss through incisor trauma which is secondary to over closure and to an anterior deep bite The most predictable correction is accomplished through: o Reversal of the bite collapse with tooth movement (orthodontic treatment) o Periodontal re-evaluation of tissue response o Reopen spaces in preparation for restoration o Stabilization with tooth replacement implant if possible to preserve bone and to reduce crown preparation Severe Jaw / Chin Deficiency After Severe jaw and chin deficiency: Interdisciplinary Treatment This jaw growth imbalance, gives the Interdisciplinary dentofacial therapy (IDT): 80% of adult patients require dental teamwork: Tooth loss and wear allow dental migration Dental arch collapse requires reversal (uprighting) through orthodontic treatment If adequate bone exists implants will replace roots and crowns will replace the top portion of the tooth Restored function, health and esthetics are achieved Dentofacial aging is reversed Musich & Busch DDS, Ltd After appearance of little or no chin The bite is characterized by a large overjet and frequent upper and lower crowding Late onset lower jaw deficiency may be related to degenerative joint disease Braces are needed to prepare the teeth for appropriate surgical correction of the jaws Braces usually precede the jaw surgery by 12 to 18 months to prepare tooth position to match the planned surgical correction of the jaw relationship (see milestones) 22 Musich & Busch DDS, Ltd Step 5: Progress Conference/ Report (JCO<10%) Concept: Patients & parents are curious about progress and have questions. This conference gives you chance to inform, & build trust. Reduce risk management issues. Check List: Will you 13. Take a panoramic x-ray + other needed records (?) about twothirds of the way through treatment? 14. Send a Progress Report to the DDS (including x-ray) with a copy to the patient/parent? 15. Have educational materials to help patients understand options such as implants, plasties, exposures, gingival grafts, Class III growth & jaw surgery, verify restorative plan and future steps. 4

5 Step 6: Retention/Stabilization: Report-JCO<16% Concept: Formal conference to review original goals and the emphasize the importance of after care (retention). Also, discuss case limitations. Check List: Will you 16. Have patients complete a questionnaire assessing their orthodontic experience? 17. Provide the patient/parent with a post-treatment report with a copy to their dentist? 18. Celebrate the patient s accomplishment & provide before and after photos? Long-term fixed retainers are not without problems! Establishing realistic treatment objectives for adult patients Goals of presentation 10 important tips from medical/defense attorneys: Describe uniqueness of adult ortho patients Clarify the meaning of realistic treatment objectives for 21st century orthodontics 1. Be selective in taking on new patients (Step #1; #2; #3) 2. Good communication informed consent & tx plan; billing & finances (Step #2; #3; #4; #5: #6) 3. Document good care provided & comm w other providers (#4;#5:#6) Describe a standardized method of communication that helps patients and providers achieve their objectives IV. Reduce risks of adverse legal action while enhancing internal marketing 4. ALWAYS document informed pt refusals in detail 5. Do not allow patients to dictate care 1. 5

6 10 important tips from medical/defense attorneys: (continued) 6. Do not criticize the care of another provider to the patient Case #5: Skel Class III, spacing, impacted #11, perio, + attitude 7. Have a good system of standardized practices for tx plan, progress repts, emergency, reminders, etc. (All of 8 Step) 8. Acknowledge limitations to your expertise; refer to others when needed. 9. Treat staff and relatives in same manner as all other pts. T 10. Maintain a team approach and good working relationship w other providers (#1, #2, #3 plus study club effort) 32 Note relative stability in 15 year follow-up Achieving Objectives: Successes or Failures? more logical to categorize patients as responders (R) or non-responders (NR). In addition, post-treatment relapse patients should be categorized as adapters (A) and non-adapters (NA).
