Visual Treatment Objective: A Review
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Advancements - Year 2018, Vol 10, Issue 3
Abstract
A visual treatment objective (VTO) is like a “blueprint” used in building a house. It helps to forecast the normal growth of the patient and the anticipated influences of treatment. The VTO permits the development of alternative treatment plans. Orthodontists can plan the treatment of skeletal discrepancies in their attempt to achieve a more stable and pleasing result. The VTO forecast is valuable for the orthodontist’s self-improvement in that it permits to set goals in advance and compare them with the results at the end of treatment. Identification of the discrepancies between goals and results provides the orthodontist with an objective picture of the areas in which his treatment could be improved. The purpose of this review is to present the commonly used methods of cephalometric VTO published in literature till date.
