Biomechanics In Clinical Orthodontics

This state-of-the-art resource is the first book to describe how the principles of biomechanics can be successfully applied in clinical orthodontics. Leaders in the field present comprehensive and cohesive guidance on basic principles, considerations in choosing orthodontic wires, treatment planning, and techniques to help the reader correct a full range of conditions.Features:* A simplified approach to biomechanics makes its principles and their practical applications easier to understand and employ.* Descriptions of orthodontic treatment planning and biomechanics allow the reader to apply specific mechanisms to specific problems.* Discussions of the use, selection, and properties of orthodontic wires present the latest advances.* Numerous chapters show how simple changes in the arch wire bending can improve the quality of tooth movement.* Coverage of non-extraction treatment modalities explains how to achieve predictable results with headgears, Herbst appliances, memory alloy springs, and other methods.* Excellent line drawings and clinical illustrations clarify important information and techniques.* An easy-to-follow format makes it simple for readers to find the guidance they need.
