Abstract
- This article is an interview with Dr. Peter M. Sinclair, an orthodontist, who discusses his background and treatment philosophy. Dr. Sinclair emphasizes the importance of thorough diagnosis and personalized treatment plans. He shares the top 10 things he has learned in his 40 years of orthodontics, including the significance of simplicity in treatment mechanics and considering different extraction patterns. Dr. Sinclair also talks about his approach to bracket placement, early treatment, and retention. The article highlights the importance of retention plans in orthodontic treatment and how they can be tailored to address each patient's specific issues. The author mentions that they have modified their retainer-wear protocol based on their experience and information gathered from a conference, now instructing patients to wear retainers only at night, resulting in improved outcomes and reduced retainer loss or breakage.
