Abstract

Finishing and detailing is one of the most crucial phases during orthodontic treatment as it perfects the occlusion. Finishing procedures are usually considered from the pre-planning phase and involve good diagnosis, appropriate treatment plan, and its implementation. In this stage, the orthodontist reviews a  checklist of changes that need to be made to achieve ideal results in the areas of esthetics, occlusion, stability, and periodontal health. This article intends to provide comprehensive knowledge and an overview of the various procedures carried out during the finishing and detailing stage of the treatment.

Keywords: Finishing, Detailing, Occlusion, Stability, Esthetics, Function.
