Introduction: The prime reason for a patient to seek orthodontic treatment is to gain an improvement in appearance. An excellent orthodontic finishing is essential and involves a series of procedures such as a good diagnosis, appropriate treatment planning and its implementation. Objective: This article is aimed to describe the achievement of treatment that should be achieved both in terms of the occlusion, aesthetic, until the planning of post-treatment in order to obtainperfect and long lasting results. Methods: Clinical cases in literature are used to illustrate the details of the desired finishing orthodontic treatment. Summary:Steps that performed to obtain good finishing of orthodontic treatment are define the goals of treatment, have a checklist about achievment of treatment, improve the functional occlusion, and reshape the teeth anatomicaly, and planning the retention of orthodontic post-treatment.

The success of orthodontic treatment, particularly with removable orthodontic appliances not only relies on theexpertise of the clinician, but also highly depends on the patient's own. It is necessary to know the extent of thesuccess rate of an orthodontic treatment. Assessment of malocclusion severity and treatment outcome has become avery popular object of research conducted by the PAR index. This study aims to determine the success rate oforthodontic treatment with removable appliances based on PAR Index. The research was carried out on March-May2011 with samples of patients dental models who had completed orthodontic treatment in the year 2008-2011 at theDepartment of Ortodonsia RSGMP UNHAS. Sixty six pairs of dental models fulfilled the inclusion criteria and therules of PAR Index. Percentage change in PAR score obtained by 35% in the assessment with no weighted and 36%was assessment by weighted. This results showed the level of orthodontic treatment success include into thecategory of "no change", but with a trend into the category of "a change "with a significant value ρ = 0.000 (ρ <0.05). It was concluded that there was occlusion improvements in orthodontic treatment with removable appliance,although very low and therefore need evaluation and improvement of governance maintenance carried out.

Mouth breathing is one of the bad habits in the oral cavity that deviates from the normal state. The main cause of mouth breathing habit is the presence of upper respiratory tract obstruction, such as adenoid hypertrophy and allergic rhinitis. In this article, dis-cussed about the mouth breathing habit as an etiologic factor for malocclusion. By reviewing the literature, information is col-lected in accordance with the topic of the study and then synthetic. From 8 scientific articles, it is known that mouth breathing habit is an etiological factor for malocclusion, with the most common malocclusions being Class 2 malocclusion, anterior open bite, maxillary anterior teeth protrusion, and posterior crossbite. It is concluded that mouth breathing habit is one of the etiolo-gical factors for malocclusion.

The vertical dimension can be described as a vertical height of the face. Practical knowledge about the physiologicalrest position is very important in determining the vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) accurately. DeterminationVDO is one tough stage of prosthodontic treatment. There is no method or tool that can measure VDO accurately. Thisstudy can be used by dentists to help evaluate the results of VDO measurement performed by two dot technique, soconvincing dentists that the measurements are accurate. The distance was measured after the the two points on the tipof the nose and the tip of the chin assess, while DVO on the photo cephalometric measured by assessing the angle ofthe bispinal plane (SNA-SNP) with mandibular plane (Go-Gn), then OVD of cephalometric imaging was comparedwith compare the results of photo DVO cephalometric by two dots technique were measuring with Moyers standard.Based on research conducted at Dental Hospital University of Hasanuddin, there were obtained 20 samples that met the criteria as research subjects. Measuring DVO on the cephalometric photo, the mean value obtained on men20.214°and women 22.231°, insignificant statistically. It was concluded that the mean value of DVO corner was21.52°, still in the range of Moyers value with range 9-32°.

Malocclusion is a common condition in the world's population but is not considered as a normal condition. A normal dentofacial development depends on the normal function of the muscles around the mouth, the balance between the muscles of the lips, cheeks from the outside of the dental arch and the inside of the tongue needs to be maintained. The imbalance of the three orofa-cial muscles will affect the development of dentofacial structures. Malocclusion occurs due to several factors including genetic factors and environmental factors. Prevention of malocclusion can be done in several ways, namely eliminating prolonged bad habits and improving nutrition during pregnancy. If malocclusion has occurred, treatment is carried out as early as possible so as not to aggravate the malocclusion.
