Abstract
One of the main challenges in orthodontics today is the desire to decrease treatment time without compromising treatment outcome. To address this challenge, we need to understand the three variables that can control the duration of treatment. First, there are practitioner-dependent factors, such as proper diagnosis and treatment planning, mechanotherapy, selection of appliances, and delivery of treatment in a timely fashion. Second, we have patient-dependent factors, such as maintaining appointments, good oral hygiene, integrity of the appliances, and following the practitioner’s instructions. The third factor is regulated by the individual’s biology and to a certain degree under the control of the practitioner.
