Esthetics and Biomechanics in Orthodontics, 2nd Edition

• Comprehensive coverage of diagnosis, treatment planning, and esthetics in tooth display gives readers a solid foundation in orthodontia and biomechanic problem solving.
• Highly regarded lead author, Dr. Ravindra Nanda, is a widely known and respected educator in the field of orthodontics.
• NEW! Content on the fundamentals that guide orthodontic tooth movement gives students insight into how orthodontic appliances work, along with their role in designing treatment methodologies.
• NEW! Content on procedures and indications for optimal space closure helps students define priorities in treatment planning and understand all the treatment alternatives.
• NEW! Detailed information on 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.
• NEW! Detailed information on the biomechanics-based management of impacted canines offers treatment planning strategies and biomechanic techniques to achieve desired results without increasing treatment time.
• NEW! Coverage of modalities for the treatment of Class III malocclusions gives students insight into new treatment protocols — such as corticotomy-assisted facemask therapy and corticotomy-assisted maxillary protraction — that are available to effectively treat these occurrences.
• NEW! 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.
• Case reports include high-quality photographs, radiographs, and illustrations to better show biomechanical principles.
