Biomechanics and Esthetic Strategies in Clinical Orthodontics

This text provides state-of-the-art reference on the successful application of biomechanics in clinical orthodontics. It features comprehensive guidance on basic biomechanic principles to orthodontic problem resolution by focusing on the fundamentals. Including new, cutting edge topics, this book shows how all techniques can apply biomechanical principles to improve the force delivery, understand and prevent side effects, and achieve predictable results.

Features
• Full-colour illustrations help the reader to visualise key concepts.
• Line drawings accompany clinical photos to clarify information and techniques.
• Chapters are organised from the most common to least common orthodontic problems, creating an easy-to-follow layout.
• Inclusion of new topics such as skeletal anchorage, aesthetic concepts, interdisciplinary treatment, biomechanical factors, biology of tooth movement, and management of orthodontic problems.
• Latest advances in the use, selection, and properties of orthodontic wires.
• Comprehensive coverage of diagnosis, treatment planning, and biomechanical strategies.
• Presentation of non-extraction treatment modalities explains how to use headgear, Herbst appliances, memory alloy springs, and other methods to yield predictable results.
• Solid information on treating malocclusion; simple changes in arch wire bending can greatly improve tooth-movement quality.
