Chapter 11 — Why Assessment Comes Before Treatment
A responsible orthodontic pathway can be summarized as: ASSESS → UNDERSTAND → PLAN → TREAT WHEN APPROPRIATE. This sequence keeps the child's individual needs at the centre of the decision.
Assessment is valuable even when the conclusion is “not yet.” Monitoring can be a positive clinical decision when the child is developing appropriately and immediate intervention is not justified. Likewise, identifying a developing concern does not mean the parent has failed or waited too long. The purpose of timely assessment is to understand the options while there is still time to choose an appropriate path.
