Orthodontic care may seem out of reach for many children with special needs due to physical and developmental disabilities. Orthodontists who lack education and experience to work with such patients with disabilities end up denying treatment of these patients, as a result, patients and parents become frustrated.Orthodontic treatment is an elective procedure for essentially all patients, including those with medical problems. Correction of disfiguring dental and facial problems contributes in an important way to an individuals self-esteem. The positive benefits of orthodontic treatment influence social integration and interaction, and can lead to significant improvement in overall well-being.
