Authored by experts of international renown, State-of-the-Art Orthodontics: Self-Ligating Appliances, Mini-Screws and Second Molars Extraction is lavishly illustrated throughout and explains the latest techniques in the management of Class II and III malocclusions including severe over-crowding. Places particular emphasis on the role of the ClarityTM Self-Ligating appliance – an esthetic device that also demonstrates excellent sliding biomechanics and allows use of low force levels and reduced treatment times. Authored by experts of international renown Lavish use of colour photography and artwork helps explain new concepts clearly Demonstrates the effective use of the ClarityTM Self-Ligating appliance, a device which contains all of the essential features of SmartClipTM but which also demonstrates greater patient acceptability and hence improvement in compliance Explains treatment options that show more predictable outcomes, good performance sliding biomechanics, the application of low force levels and reduced treatment times Ideal for orthodontists worldwide – whether qualified or in training
As the glorious first century of organised orthodontics has passed and we have entered the next century, the sheer pace of technological advancement is phenomenal. If the history of all landmarks were to be drawn, the most recent would be the development of the Skeletal Anchorage System (SAS). Skeletal Anchorage System (SAS) involves the use of implants as a source of orthodontic anchorage. The pioneering studies on oral implants were done by Linkow in 1967, who is rightfully called the Father of Oral Implantology. Implants are fast gaining popularity, as their patient compliance expectation use is minimal. Anchorage can be both orthodontic as well as orthopedic. The orthopedic uses include maxillary expansion as well as maxillary protraction while orthodontic include intrusion, space closure and distalisation. Now, with the development of newer implants such as the micro-implants, their use has been revolutionised as these implants are small, easily placed as well as removed, and require a minimal healing period before loading. The future of implants in orthodontics is promising as product developments in terms of minimal patient discomfort and reduced treatment time are continually occurring. The Editor of this book explores the issues as well as other new developments and challenges in contemporary orthodontics.
Orthodontics is a fast developing science as well as the field of medicine in general. The attempt of this book is to propose new possibilities and new ways of thinking about Orthodontics beside the ones presented in established and outstanding publications available elsewhere. Some of the presented chapters transmit basic information, other clinical experiences and further offer even a window to the future. In the hands of the reader this book could provide an useful tool for the exploration of the application of information, knowledge and belief to some orthodontic topics and questions.
The book offers a comprehensive and critical review which presents not only the principles and techniques involved in the use of skeletal anchorage techniques and devices (such as orthodontic implants, miniscrew implants and mini plates), but also the scientific evidence available regarding the use of these contemporary applications and their clinical efficacy. • Provides an introduction to the conventional and noncompliance treatment of Class II malocclusion • Provides an introduction to the use of skeletal anchorage reinforcement approaches in orthodontics • Outlines the clinical considerations required for the use of skeletal anchorage devices in orthodontics • Explains the insertion and removal procedures of orthodontic implants, miniscrew implants and mini plates • Discusses the use of orthodontic implants for the treatment of Class II malocclusion • Explains the use of mini plates and zygomatic anchorage for the treatment of Class II malocclusion • Discusses the use of mini-screw implants for the treatment of Class II malocclusion • Explains the use of skeletal anchorage reinforcement of the noncompliance devices used for the treatment of Class II malocclusion • Explores the efficiency of skeletal anchorage and its risk management
This book provides information on the current technological developments and new concepts in orthodontic treatment procedures. The main concepts of the book are scope innovations in accelerated tooth movement, new developments such as corticotomy, microperforations (MOP), piezosicion, photobiostimulation, laser in orthodontics, chemical agents, as well as complications and risks. The book contains interdisciplinary managements involving surgery first, cleft lip and palate therapy, orthognathic surgery, and obstructive sleep apnea. This internationally-recognized specialty is continuing to experience advancements in technology, instrumentation, and treatment methods.
