Abstract

The search of etiological factors is a fundamental step in the diagnosis. The success of orthodontic treatment is essentially based on the quality of the clinical observation; any cause related to malocclusion must be identified and analyzed. The acquired knowledge and clinical experience, then, will allow the best choice of the therapeutic method. The mechanisms of facial development and growth are numerous and strongly nested; thus, it is difficult to identify all the etiological factors involved in orthodontic malocclusions, but we can determine a large number among them and avoid their impact and so, many anomalies. The mistake would be to not suppress them or act late. Anomalies may appear, or become worse if they already exist, or relapse after orthodontic treatment.
