Synopsis
The collaboration between orthodontic and restorative dental treatment is crucial to ensure their ideal results. This partnership aims to integrate orthodontic alignment with restorative procedures to achieve functional and aesthetic dental results. This collaboration is especially important when addressing complex dental cases involving misalignment, crowding, or spacing that require both orthodontic correction and restorative solutions. By properly aligning the teeth before or after the restorative procedure, orthodontists create an ideal foundation for the restorative workflow, removing as little material as possible from healthy dental tissues, ensuring the long-term success and durability of treatments. This multidisciplinary approach not only improves patient satisfaction, but also prevents complications, resulting in better oral health and stability. In conclusion, orthodontic-restorative collaboration plays an important role in modern comprehensive dental care.
