OVERVIEW

Investigation of factors related to skeletal maturation and facial form during childhood and adolescence that can be significantly related to orthodontic treatment of patients. The underlying philosophy of this research is that each individual expresses their own unique patern of development that must be identified and analyzed in order to achieve optimum clinical results.
