Presentation title

Beginning with the end in mind to achieve excellence in orthodontics

The philosophy of ‘Begin with the end in mind’ is not new but was introduced into orthodontics by the iconic R.G. ‘Wick’ Alexander. Indeed, the quest for excellence starts day I with a correct diagnosis and an individualized treatment plan which is subsequently implemented by comprehensive appliance management. By adopting this rigorous concept, it is possible not only to meet the current global trend of creating a perfect smile, but also to achieve function and long-term maintainability of our treatment results.

Learning objectives

• to understand the concept of ‘goal-oriented’ treatment approaches
• to acknowledge the importance that the so-called orthodontic finishing starts already on day 1
• to emphasize that true excellence requires interdisciplinary collaboration
