Abstract
Cooperation of the patient during orthodontic treatment is a major determinant of a successful treatment result. Unfortunately, noncompliance is a serious problem in orthodontics. A patient’s noncompliance can result in a longer treatment time, destruction of the teeth and periodontium, extraction of additional teeth, collapse of a corrected malocclusion after treatment, frustration for the patient, and additional stress for the orthodontist and staff. 1 Southard K.A.
