Q&A
Turpin: In what way have you added to your conclusions of 2007 and 2009 when you last published
articles describing this sample?
Jonsson: In previous articles, we described the prevalence of malocclusion traits in a sample of middleaged people and long-term occlusal changes of fully
dentate subjects, undisturbed by tooth loss, agenesis,
or orthodontic treatment. The added perspective in
this article was the comparison between treated and
untreated subjects. In a forthcoming article dealing
with malocclusion traits and in this one describing
anterior crowding and spacing, we drew 2 conclusions. First, we confirmed the inevitable weight of
long-term general development, because most variables in all subject groups, treated and untreated,
change in the same direction. Second, we substantiated the lasting effect, mostly beneficial, of orthodontic treatment on several occlusal traits. In this
study in particular, we found that orthodontic
