Efficacy Of Invisalign Attachments: A Retrospective Study

Orthodontics was the first recognized specialty of dentistry and involves the diagnosis and treatment of skeletal and dental malocclusions. Reasons patients may seek orthodontic care include to improve their current occlusion or oral function. However according to William R. Proffit author of the leading textbook for orthodontic education “the major reason people seek orthodontic treatment is to minimize psychosocial problems related to their dental and facial appearance” (11). Over the years there has been a progression towards more esthetic orthodontic appliances as technology has further advanced and as more adults are seeking orthodontic treatment.
