ORTHODONTIST AUTHORS ARTICLE

The position of mandibular incisors has been and continues to be a very important consideration in the diagnosis and treatment of every orthodontic patient.

Dr. S. Edwin Noffel, a Cape Girardeau orthodontist, is author of an article in the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, a monthly magazine published by the American Association of Orthodontists.

Noffel's article consists of eight pages, complete with illustrations, in the April issue of the magazine.

The article, Noffel said, proposes guidelines for post-treatment mandibular incisor position that, when used, either preserves or enhances facial balance and harmony.

The article also offers ideas about the mandibular incisor position that will allow the clinician a better understanding for facial balance and harmony.
