Orthodontic Treatment Mechanics In A Modern Orthodontic Practice

This course presents a general discussion on the philosophy of orthodontic treatment with the main emphasis on intra-arch treatment mechanics. State-of-the-art mechanics using light continuous force systems are described in detail. The six stages of orthodontic treatment are reviewed using a variety of case reports. These stages include anchorage control, leveling and aligning, vertical dimension control, antero- posterior correction, space closure and finishing. The pre-adjusted appliance system will be discussed as well as information on adhesives and the arch wire system. This is a practical and a very clinically oriented program, which will provide information that is immediately useful for a modern orthodontic practice.
