DentalReach Evidence Review:

May 15, 2017 was the first World Orthodontic Health Day, and the WFO created a special logo and posters that established the brand identity of this. The concept is best applied through a patient-specific pathway: confirm diagnosis, define the objective, compare alternatives, anticipate failure and specify maintenance.

Growth, periodontal support, root position, anchorage, force system, adherence and retention determine transferability. Appliance choice should follow diagnosis and biomechanics.

Discuss expected benefit, uncertainty, alternatives, maintenance and the consequence of no treatment in plain language. This protects informed consent when evidence or predictability is limited.
