  • Title: Orthodontics and occlusion.
    Author: Davies SJ, Gray RM, Sandler PJ, O'Brien KD.
    Journal: Br Dent J; 2001 Nov 24; 191(10):539-42, 545-9. PubMed ID: 11767855.
    Abstract:
    The discipline of orthodontics is directed towards alteration of the occlusion of the teeth and the relationships of the jaws. It is therefore somewhat surprising to find that there is little scientific evidence to support any of the concepts that suggest occlusal goals for orthodontic treatment. Most of the current concepts of orthodontic treatment are based upon personal opinion and retrospective studies. Nevertheless, an attempt is made here to provide a guide to the relationship of orthodontics and the occlusion that is evidence based. Where the evidence is weak, these areas have been highlighted.
