Modifying therapeutic objectives in accordance with patient’s ethnicity

Abstract

We took orthodontic records and began full-banded and bonded treatment soon after F, a 13 year 3 month old girl, who consulted us in 2007 at our office in a city of southwest France. F.’s loss of all four first premolars as an accompaniment to mechano-therapy was compensated for by the eventual successful eruption of her third molars. We were able to remove her appliances in 2009 as we had promised, before her 16th birthday.
