Abstract

An excellent orthodontic finishing is the goal of every orthodontist. A clear-cut vision of end goals should set the objectives of any orthodontic treatment sequence. The finishing procedures are considered from the beginning stages of the treatment, as a part of total scheme of treatment. Finishing and detailing is the last step in orthodontic treatment, before active treatment is discontinued. It is to ensure that the teeth and the related structures are positioned in such a way it will lead to a better retention and stability, enhancement of aesthetics, optimized functions of the stomatognathic system and an improvement of the health of the periodontium. Recently, lingual orthodontics is one of the emerging trends for adult patients as it increases their self esteem, so this review article highlights the finishing techniques in lingual orthodontics.
