Esthetics and Biomechanics in Orthodontics, 2nd Edition
provides everything you need to know to successfully apply biomechanics in clinical orthodontics. This edition features new content in the areas of tooth movement, treating Class III malocclusions, skeletal anchorage, Surgery First treatment plans, and space closure. In addition to comprehensive guidance on basic biomechanic principles, this state-of-the-art reference also shows how all techniques can apply biomechanical principles to improve the force delivery, understand and prevent side effects, and achieve predictable results.
Highly regarded lead author, Dr. Ravindra Nanda,
is a widely known and respected educator in the field of orthodontics.
Comprehensive coverage of diagnosis, treatment planning, and esthetics in tooth display
provides a solid foundation in orthodontia and biomechanic problem solving.
Case reports
include high-quality photographs, radiographs, and illustrations to better show biomechanical principles.
Radiographs and line drawings
accompany clinical photographs to help illustrate the various stages of treatment.
NEW!
Content on the
fundamentals that guide orthodontic tooth movement
offers a clear understanding of how orthodontic appliances work and their role in designing treatment methodologies.
Content on
procedures and indications for optimal space closure
helps you define priorities in treatment planning and understand all the treatment alternatives.
Detailed information on
biomechanics-based management of impacted canines
provides treatment planning strategies and biomechanic techniques to achieve desired results without increasing treatment time.
Coverage on
modalities for the treatment of Class III malocclusions
offers insight into new treatment protocols — such as corticotomy-assisted facemask therapy and corticotomy-assisted maxillary protraction — that are available to effectively treat these occurrences.
the different forms of skeletal anchorage (including mini-implant technology)
shows how certain challenges associated with types of tooth movement can now be overcome by applying sound biomechanical principles to skeletal anchorage.
In-depth coverage of the
Surgery First (SF) treatment plan
offers step-by-step examples to help explain the technique of Sendai SF and its benefits
