Abstract
Orthodontic treatment for the adult patient is different from the child. It can be either comprehensive in scope or limited in its objectives (adjunctive orthodontic treatment). Adjunctive treatment is often within the scope of the general dental practitioner and can be of considerable importance in the management of adults with periodontal disease and restorative needs. An overview of the factors that are related to the treatment of adult patients are presented. A few suggestions on better patient management are also included.
