Opis

A Visual Treatment Objective (VTO) is like a blueprint or a visual plan to forecast the normal growth of the patient and the anticipated influences of treatment, to establish the individual objectives we want to achieve for that patient. Treatment for a growing patient must be planned according to growth changes, not according to the skeletal structure that the patient presents initially. Orthodontic treatment is monitored with head films, usually at 6-month intervals. Whenever a case is encountered in which growth is occurring in a different direction than expected, a new mid-treatment VT0 is then constructed so that changes in treatment procedures can be made and any disfiguring lip responses can be avoided. The visualized treatment objective is a simple yet relatively accurate method of predicting the incisor and molar relations on the basis of growth and treatment alterations of the dentoskeletal framework. The VTO prediction tracing is an important tool in diagnosis and treatment of dentofacial and craniofacial deformities. It allows for the assessment of facial esthetics, along with planning the appropriate surgical procedures and modifications as needed.
