Abstract
There is an increasing trend in adults seeking orthodontic treatment. Visibility of braces and duration of treatment are factors detrimental to patients choice of having orthodontic treatment as well as their satisfaction with the outcome. Adult orthodontics is unique both in the treatment goals as well as tissue response. Realistic goals with adjuvant procedures and short duration of treatment are preferred. We present two cases of “Limited outcome orthodontics” in adult patients with localized malalignment, successfully managed within a very short duration of 5 months.
