Abstract
Introduction: More than 15 years of experience in orthodontic-surgical collaboration has allowed the authors to identify some situations in which a new perspective is needed. Although it may seem easy to refer a patient to a maxillo-facial surgeon in cases of major dysmorphoses, this can lead to yet other dilemmas: a loss of results at the end of a developmental growth stage, an adult requesting a return to treatment after a camouflage orthodontic treatment or a non-cooperative child in an interceptive and preventive treatment phase. Then, a comprehensive process of reassessment becomes compulsory.
Material and method: In the form of an editorial, this article describes various cases encountered in the authors' practice.
Discussion: The aim is not to point out the imperfections of our humanity, but simply to open our eyes to diagnostic elements that are missed, whether in the initial phase or during reassessment.
Conclusion: As it is far from ideal to keep offering similar therapies that lead to the same pitfalls, it is time for a shift in the paradigm.
