When? What treatment? We know that many attempts have been made to change growth during the pubertal growth spurt with varying and usually less-than-satisfactory success. In order to determine whether it is appropriate in a given patient to provide orthodontic treatment in the primary or mixed dentition, one must have an understanding of craniofacial growth and develop-ment (morphogenesis), and of craniofacial pathogenesis (adverse development / malocclusion.) Our AOS courses in iOrtho explore these concepts in detail and provide guidance in utilizing these concepts, along with patient data, to determine: when treatment should begin, what techniques can be used, what advantages can be gained from primary or mixed dentition treatments, how to obtain records, what records are needed, and how to form a precise diagnosis upon which to deter-mine treatment needs. Armed with this knowledge, a practitioner can evaluate a child patient and discern which discrep-ancies would benefit from early treatment. 14 Discriminate treatment can be planned to meet the clinical needs of each patient. Knowing how to determine which sagittal, 80 July/August 2012 JAOS vertical and transverse discrepancies can be normalized and which discrepancies can worsen in time, will allow accurate diagnosis. Then, the study of the functional matrix and interventions for consideration will allow excellent treatment plan-ning with regard to patient age, to stage of development, to Angle clas-sification of malocclusion and to prognosis. Finally, knowledge of treatment options which address the various needed interventions will aide in choosing the options with the best prognoses, and the easiest use for the patient, the parent and the practitioner. You can provide iOrtho treat-ment to give your child patients a beautiful self-view, and give their parents the most beautiful child. You can make it easier for the patient and parent because the younger child is more compliant as long as there is a supportive parent. You can provide more stability 3 because you prevent adverse growth. And the patients will need less extractions and surgeries. You can have growth follow our treatment as guide, and help your patients need less compensation and less adaption. And, you can create more and healthier occlusions for lifetimes! iOrtho is doable, greatly beneficial for the patient and parent, very rewarding, interesting, and prof-itable. That’s why we went into dentistry -to help others and make a living doing it! iOrtho is exactly that. Come learn with us! 5. Gerstenfeld LC, Shapira FD.
