To establish an aesthetic orthodontic treatment plan, a correct diagnosis is necessary, which identifies and quantifies which elements of the smile need to be corrected or improved, and which must be maintained. Clinical information, data from images, study models, dental scanning, photographs, and dynamic records of the smile on video allow a precise analysis of aesthetics and function. The use of dynamic smile documentation associated with the DSD protocol may make diagnosis more efficient, and treatment plans more consistent, leading to more logical and direct treatment sequences, with a reduction in risks and improved final results. To obtain the results planned we can use any kind of appliance but should keep the orthodontics basics, which for me is the Alexander Discipline. This lecture will show my protocols of treatment planning and how I use DSD to plan and reanalyse the case during treatment. I will show different kinds of appliances used for ortho treatments, and application of skeletal anchorages to improve occlusal plane and smile arch.
