Abstract: In orthodontic clinics, more and more patients have sought orthodontic treatment with the chief complaint of improving facial appearance, but the changes of soft tissue are exactly the most uncertain and difficult to predict compared with dental tissue and bone tissue. The implementation of Visual Treatment Objective (VTO) enables patients to have a more intuitive understanding of the treatment objective, and at the same time improves the predictability and scientificity of the treatment process. In this article, based on Visual Treatment Objective, we review the goal, principle and accuracy of soft tissue prediction in orthodontic treatment.

Key words: visual treatment objective, soft tissue prediction, orthodontics
