Abstract
Growth is an important factor that can help or hinder the orthodontic treatment of young people. Relating growth to orthodontic treatment implies an attempt to correlate therapeutic effort with growth increments. The ability to predict and control the magnitude and direction of natural growth potential would be very beneficial in orthodontic treatment. Unfortunately this biological contribution cannot always be used in the optimum manner or at the optimum time, since there are other important factors involved.
