Synopsis

The field of orthodontics has conventionally been considered as the management of the dentition in its entirety. And yet most orthodontic cases can be seen as the composite of problems associated with the orientation and development of individual teeth. Previous texts have described the techniques and appliances used in both extraction and non-extraction cases, but never before have these been discussed in terms of the treatment mechanics of each tooth involved. This work focuses on these aspects of the orthodontic management of the dentition. Also included is a review of recent developments in brackets design and placement techniques as well as the latest research findings, with an integrated discussion of therapeutic options now available. Furthermore, this book utilizes over 30 case studies to illustrate the practical application of the procedures discusses, so equipping the orthodontist with the knowledge, and the skills, necessary to implement effective treatment management strategies.
